First Analysis of Buy and Hold

I found a piece of property to practice on, now granted this is the listed value on Zillow so I understand it may not be a realistic property to practice on, but the numbers should flow pretty similarly.  I'm looking at buying and holding.  This is one that wouldn't require a lot of rehab work upon entry, I've allowed for $4000 to spruce it up a bit.  The property is a 3 bed, 2 bath in a region that rents for $1400 based on Rentometer.

Have I included everything I need to in order to properly evaluate this property?  I've allowed for 12% of the rental income for property management, 10% for repair values, 1 month of rental income for vacancy, and $182.75 for Cap Ex based on this blog post.

With a negative cash flow of $5,575 and an upfront cash payment of $50,550 I'd be looking at a -11% cash on cash.
