Calculating cash flow on a duplex

Hi, I'm very new to real estate investing. I used BiggerPockets' rental calculator to see what a single family home would look like. Very cool tool. I'm now trying to do it manually so that I have a better understanding of how to run-the-numbers. Can you help verify if I did this correctly and if I'm missing anything. Thank you for any guidance you can provide.
