Let's do a simple 50% rule calculation on this deal. Even though I agree with @Edward Burns and @Mehran K. that your expenses are going to be more. I would say if you are responsible for the grounds keeping, common area utilities, and the water/sewer you may be closer to 45% or 40%(the 60% expenses that Mehran quoted).
4050 x .5 = 2025 x12 = $24,300 net income before debt service
24,300 / 350,000= .069 or 6.9% cap rate
Keep in mind that 350,000 doesn't even include your inspections, loan origination, closing costs, or other costs associated with a typical transaction.
At 6.9% it could be a fair deal for the market. However it most certainly won't help you grow your business.
