Several suggestions:
1. Change Property Mgmt to 10%. If you every find a place charging less than 8%, avoid it. Also, at 10% you're looking at $2520, not $3820.
2. 5% is the absolute minimum for Maintenance. Unless it's in great shape and you don't anticipate anything, adjust to at least 7%
3. This chart is missing Capital Expenditures. CapEx should be similar to Maintenance; put that at 7% as well.
My figures result in $1560.1 of positive cashflow (Operating Income). That comes to $65/door. Are you happy with that? The general BP rule is no less than $100/door and some won't go below $150/door.
