Denver, CO Triplex Deal Check Request

Hey BP members, 


I need a quick sanity check on the math here just to make sure I'm not biting off more than I can chew.  I'm currently under contract for a triplex, which I will be occupying one unit (2 BR, 1 BA) for a year before renting it out.  A little backstory on the property: It was built in 1880 and last sold in 2004.  The seller has not changed rent prices for years, resulting in the previous tenants staying for more than 5+ years and paying way below market rents.  Based on my research of Craigslist, Rentometer, and Padmapper, 1 BR / 1 BAs go for $1,100 - $1,500 and 2 BR / 1 BAs go for $1,400 - $1,900.  A current tenant on a month-to-month lease pays $900 for the 1 BR / 1 BA.

**The following analysis assumes that I move out and have all units being rented out.

Am I missing anything for my analysis?  I know some people factor in property managers in their analysis.
