Analysis

Income: $29,808

Expenses: $15,564

NOI: $14,244

Debt service: $8,832

Cash flow: $3,792

Per month: $316

I am not sure about the utilities. I would need the tenants to cover heating and electricity, but I could probably do water/trash/lawn. I am hoping to manage it myself but have the fees there just in case.

As it stands, I probably could not do this because the utilities will eat into the $316 cash flow, but I'd still appreciate thoughts on my analysis.
