Proposed offer - do my number make sense?

I'm looking at making an offer on a FSBO SFH in Louisiana. I'm estimating rent to be about $1100. The expenses are:

  • Insurance (including flood) = $225
  • Taxes = $140
  • Maintenance and Capex = $110
  • Vacancy = $110
  • Management = $110

I thought I would give the owner two options, both with a 20% down payment:

  1. I do a typical 30 year mortgage and offer $77k
  2. I offer $93k, but pay it in installments to the current owner for 20 years.

My goal is to cash flow $100 after expenses. What do you all think?
