Am I getting my small MF costs right?

Hi All. I'm looking at a couple multifamily properties in Northern Michigan (local to me). They don't seem like good buys, but I'm concerned that I may just have my expense numbers wrong. Below is one of them. Am I missing anything, or including something I shouldn't? Or including things in NOI that I shouldn't? I have one rental, but this would be my first multifamily

I'm doing a lot of numbers on these as practice, and plan on touring it next week. Even if nothing comes of it, it is a good learning experience!

6 total units (3 duplexes, Four 2-bedrooms and Two 1-bedrooms)

Asking Price 196k (Has been on the market for 14 months. I think they got the price by adding the potential retail price of each duplex, not calculating NOI against CAP Rates for the area (8-9%))

Current Gross Rents: $2,525, I think this could be stabilized to about $3,100.

Thanks!
