Would you buy a $5,148 Cashflow with $2k of capital gains?

I'm looking to make my first deal, but don't know if I want to go with this one. It is $20k out of pocket with $5,148 of cash-flow a year and $2k of capital gains. I only have $50k to invest and am putting aside $800/month towards investing from my salary. My question is, the cash-flow is great for the San Antonio market, but the gains are not, is it still a good deal? I want to buy and hold. I know the typical motto is "You have to make money when you buy it." What are the cons and pros of a deal like this? Any input would help!
