@Charles S. I believe that, for one, you are severely underestimating capex and maintenance. Being queens, I'm assuming that this is an older building, and with a $10k budget, you are replacing any major items. If it's a newer build I stand corrected. For me, the cash flow is too low, but is there reason to believe appreciation will be good? It'll take 12 years to get your investment back, does that fall in line with your goals? All things to consider and things that others can't answer for you.
