you forget some of expenses - Vacancy, Maintenance, CAPEX repairs, and property management (even though you said you do this yourself I would recommend running the numbers with a %10 PM fee
Using the SFH rental spreadsheet from BP, i get the following
Maintenance and repairs $1020 ( 10 percent a month)
vacancy 8.3 (1 month ) 850
PM 1020
total expenses (non PI 5278 ) about 50 %
NOI 4922
PI 304
cash flow 1278 ($106 month)
cash roi 8.24 %
if you do you your own PM
cash flow goes to 2213
cash ROI 14.28%
also recommend you include what closing costs , and how long you think it will take to do repairs and get it rent ready
