@Dieudonne T Nsabishaka the numbers look good, but I would encourage you to look at small multifamily. It may cost you a little more to get into it, but you increase your return and spread your risk out over 2-4 tenants instead of 1.
If you have a single family and that tenant doesn't pay rent you have to cover the expenses of the property. If you have a duplex or a four plex when the other tenants pay you reduce the amount you have to pay out with a duplex, and with a four plex you may not have to pay anything personally.
I looked on realtor for the Des Moines market and found several pending for less than $200k. I even found a multifamily for $99k which is $10k more than what you're doing your practice on.
Pictures didn't show much but if you could buy it for the same $89k you're practicing on you're ahead of the game.
