From the numbers you are showing you are only at a 1.08 DCR. No bank will loan unless you can hit 1.2 DCR. Your estimate of $8000 per unit seems extremely high. We usually budget max $5000- $6000 but typically around $4000 per unit. Where is this property located? Your electric seems low. If you are new you might want to underwrite at a higher insurance cost unless you can use your property managers insurance.
Also- according to your numbers you are buying at a 5% cap and selling at a 5% cap. Might be a challenge to offload especially since we are looking at an economic down turn coming.
I personally think that if you buy this property you will lose money.
Hope that helps!
