Income tax advantage of real estate and section 8 tenants

Hello everyone I am new to this forum and the income property investing.

I am trying to figure out the income tax situation.

I make more than 150K a year on my day job on a W2.

However, if I get a positive cash flowing property, meaning I don't report any losses, it should still provide me some tax advantages. Please check my math down here:

I assumed that the depreciation base of the dwelling is $200K.

Based on the math below, I would have $16,334 positive cash flow but I will pay taxes on NOI-mortgage interest-Depreciation=$13,569

OR since my income is >150K, will I still pay taxes on the NOI=31,000?

Feedback from experienced investors and CPAs appreciated.

Also, based on the cash and cash return, do you think this is a good property to invest in? It is all section 8 folks renting it. So, every 2 years, I should probably account for 10K of trashing the place per tenant which I have to pay for.
