@Marta M. I am an investor here in Norfolk and have been for a while. First titustown isn't the best neighborhood. Not a complete warzone but C at best.
As for your numbers I think you might be lowballing a few numbers. Vacancy is at 3% I would put it at 10. Do you have a copy of the water bill? I have a four plex in norfolk and it has never been as low as 200 fully rented.
Management is reasonable but you get what you pay for at 6%.
The tax rate for norfolk is 1.15 per 1000. If it is assessed at 270k as you have is that would be 3105 per year.
repairs are way low at 3% I budget 10 for repair and 5 for cap ex.
Your insurance looks close but in norfolk you have to account for flood insurance.
Overall you are a bit rosy on the numbers. Multi in Norfolk right now is a bit bubbly. I struggle to find real deals right now. Good Luck!

quick math that is less than 1%. Hard pass on this one.
If want to pursue I would want exact updates. When it was built. copies of leases and rent rolls.
If its been on the market that long and do price change I would think they are not realistic or trying to get out of something they bought badly earlier
