You're still going to have management (figure 10%), vacancy (figure 8%), repairs (everything on the inside will account for the majority of repairs anyway), capital reserves (this will be lower but you still have water heater, hvac, cabinets and other high ticket items that depreciate), property taxes, and some insurance (you will need liability and contents insurance.....the COA policy will generally only include the drywall out).
