Help with deal analysis

Hi all,

I'm new to real estate investing and am practicing doing some deal analysis. I need help running numbers on a sample property as my results do not look/feel right (getting negative cashflow). I'm pretty sure my data is wrong but I can't seem to figure what it is. I tried doing the same type of analysis for multiple properties and keep getting negative cashflows.

Address: 11903 Fork Creek Dr, Houston TX 77065

Purchase price: $110,000 (asking $128,000)

Loan type: 30yr @ 4% fixed

Cash needed = $22,000 (20% downpayment) + $5000 closing = $27,000

Monthly rent = $1,350

Property taxes: $209/month

Insurance: $396/month

Other expenses (water, sewage, etc): $100

Vacancy/repairs/cap expenditures/prop mgmt: 5/5/5/10

Result = $1,350 (rent) - $1,425 (total expenses) = -$75.02 cashflow (??)

Where am I going wrong here? Or am I correct and this is a negative cashflow property? I'd appreciate any insight!
