If this will be an FHA loan, you need to factor in upfront MIP and Monthy MIP because you only have 3.5 % down. You cannot appraise out of the MIP down the road, and it is a big hit.
Just using the PITI calculation I get:
$390,000 sales price
$12,350 3.5% down
$376,350 base mortgage amount.
+$6,568 UFMIP
$382,936 final mortgage amount
$382,936 @3.5% is $1,719.55 a month
$376,500 x 1.25% MIP is $392.02 a month
$3600 in taxes is $300 a month
$1500 in insurance is $125 a month
Total payment: $2,536.59
With other expenses like utilities, maintenance etc. I would not purchase this property given the gross rent you listed.
