Townhouse, It’s a good investment?
Sale price 65k, rent $800, VA 0% down payment, cash flow $200, cash flow w/factor $50 including property manager. Really slow area. Average price for similar Townhomes on the areas over 75k. A lot of properties on sales here in Enterprise, Alabama. I've been looking and studying different deals and they're al pretty much the same on cash flow.

Pass, slow area going to be a huge pain to get rid of it in the future.
And if you're doing VA .... It'll have to be your primary residence for a year or so. Generally speaking VA or similar 0/low down loans don't cashflow all that well if at all. Same goes with maintenance, those items are a percentage. Everything has a useful lifespan and replacement cost..come up with real numbers.
Laslty move away from percentage for items. There's no such thing as a 10% vacancy, what does that even mean.
