Where have you accounted for property taxes or repairs/ maintenance or property management if you plan to go that route?

Thank you for the quick response. Please see updated numbers below in chart that includes insurance. HOA covers all outdoor maintenance (roof, yard, siding, trash) HVAC was replaced in the last 5 years. I didn't solve for any other maintenance costs.

HOA:$166.00P&I:$635.05
Property Taxes:$98.50Insurance:$66.00

Total Monthly Expense - $965.55

How did you calculate property taxes? They seem quite low to me.  Also you do need to include something for maintenance and repairs if you want to accurately plan.  Also management?

@Robert DelVecchio I would also account for vacancy and capital expenses. I understand the HOA covers the exterior parts of the property but you are responsible for anything inside your unit such as windows, bath n kitchen plumbing issues, furnace, hot water heater, etc.

I would always add in PM like they said “just in case” and a vacancy percentage

Thank you to everyone who has replied. I appreciate your thoughts here. 

Repairs - Because the house was just remodeled completely I added in 3%

Vacancy - This townhome is in a hot area for rentals, less than 5 minutes from a top hospital and in a nice area overall. I added 3% which is on the low end.

Management - I will be managing this property myself

The property taxes were calculated by taking the (2017 county assessment * .95 tax rate) = 1186.00

Is the below cash-flow and cash on cash ROI good, great, bad or ugly?

After adding in repairs and vacancy here is how things add up.
