Just analysed my first property - What do you think?

Hey everyone, i hope I placed this in the correct subforum and I hope its not considered inappropriate for me to ask for a 2nd glance on this analysis. I just want to make sure I have my spreadsheet correctly made. I'm in CH5 of the UBG and I all the information to make this spreadsheet from there. (awesome resource so far)

So background:
This is the property https://www.redfin.com/CA/Los-Angeles/14647-Erwin-...

Assumptions:

  • Buyer is asking 675k (although in mid 2014 the lot in much better shape sold for 450k, but lets ignore that) I assumed i paid asking price.
  • I assumed the stated rents are correct (they seem okay judging by CL ads)
  • I put 25k down finance via FHA loan
  • Guessed at insurance and PMI costs, as well as maintenance, landscaping
  • Assuming only utility paid by me is water + landscaping + sewage/trash

I got a cap rate similar to redfin which makes me think I did this correctly, but mine is lower mostly because I included CapEx & management costs in my expenses (assuming they did not)

But just running these numbers, this looks like a horrible investment - so am I doing this right?

- Monthly Yearly
Net Operating Income $1,975 $23,695
Cap Rate - 3.51%
Cash Flow -$1,565 -$18,777.29
ROI - -75.11%
COC - -75.11%

Keep in mind ROI and COC are the same because I assumed an FHA loan and therefore my downpayment rolls all closing costs and other fees into the loan.
