Rent = $1200.
Expenses, vacancy, capital = $600
P&I = $415
Cash flow = $185
But HOA's have a way of sucking more profit out of a deal than you might think.
You can earn some of that expense/vacancy/capital money if you do the PM job yourself. It concerns me that you end up with a lower cash flow number than me yet you've allowed nothing for property management. If you do decide to get a PM and your numbers are accurate, you're going to be cash flow negative.
