Is my analysis too conservative?

Account Closed
Posted

I feel like a lot of the deals I look at would cash flow but when I run them through my analysis spreadsheet almost all lose money.  I'm fine with being patient but I want to make sure there's not an error in my analysis.  Below is a sample property for sale in my area that I would have thought would cash flow, but according to my analysis it would not.  Any thoughts or ideas?

My assumptions on my analysis are:

    Advertising = $2.50/unit each month    

    Legal & Accounting:  $5/unit each month    

    Groundskeeping:  $80/month average

    Water/Sewer:  $20/unit per month

    Trash:  $15/unit each month

    Maintenance:  $75/unit each month

Number of Units 4
Down Payment 20%
Vacancy Rate 10%
Initial Repairs/Unit $5,000
Monthly Repairs/Unit $75
Avg Rent/Unit $413
 
Purchase Price $120,000
Down Payment $24,000
Reserves & Repairs $22,268
Est. Closing Cost $3,000
Loan Amount $96,000

Expenses  
Mortgage $756
Advertising $10
Legal & Accounting $20
