HELP!!! Cash Flow Seems to Good to Be True! What Am I Missing

My partner and I have been reading a lot recently about how hard it is to buy a property in New Jersey that produces positive cash flow.

We made an offer that has been accepted on a property in Perth Amboy NJ and so this sentiment has us nervous. After running the analysis we see this property is significantly cash flow positive but we can't help but feel that we might be missing something. The numbers are as follows...

Accepted Price: $275K

Units: 6

Rent per unit: $800 ($4,800 per month total)

Vacancy: $480 (10% of Gross rents); Maintenance and Repairs: $480 (10% of Gross Rents); CAPEX: $350; Taxes: $917; Insurance: $833

The tenants are paying for utilities separately so there's nothing budgeted for that. not sure what to expect for common area expenses .

Mortgage: $898

Total monthly cash flow of $842.

Would appreciate any insight on what we might be missing???
