The 2.7% (2.687999% to be exact) actually includes property taxes for the city, school district, water district, Tarrant County College, Tarrant County hospital, and Tarrant County itself. If any of those variables change based on the property that you are looking at, then the rate will be different. It's best to check the county appraisal district website of the property you are looking at, to get an idea of what the taxes are.

Two issues I believe. First, that property is a half duplex with only 1071sqft and a carport. I highly doubt you can get $1800 a month for that property. I would expect the rental rate to be closer to $1200 to $1400, depending on the condition (but, do your research. I could be off on this figure.) Secondly, I don't think your property tax is correct. For Fort Worth, I use 2.7% to estimate the annual tax rate. So after repairs and based off your ARV estimate of $170k, within a year or two, your property taxes could potentially jump up to as high as $4590 a year, or $382 a month.
Edit: On the plus side, I think you are estimating too much for insurance. It shouldn't cost $2400 annually.

Uggh... I didn't even calculate it as a half duplex. I looked like a SFH and the Foreclosure website showed it as such. Yes, that changes everything. My rental number came from other 3-2 SFH in the neighborhood.
For the property tax I got the amount off of either Realtor or Zillow. Do you do 2.7% of property value for all county property tax or just Tarrant?

I'm in Tarrant County and think the 2.7 is mostly accurate. Make sure you're not in Ft Worth but a different ISD. I am in Keller ISD with Ft. Worth Address and pay slightly more. I had a house zoned for Haltom City with a Ft Worth address and paid slightly less than 2.7%

If you really want to get technical and dial in a precise number by city, you can go to the county tax assessor website and get each of the moving parts that drive the total tax rate (e.g. by taxing unit like ISD, county hospital, county community college, etc).
