Numbers sound very good as others have said.This place easily meets the 2% rule (as long as the repairs aren't very high) and the cash flow looks great with the 50% rule.You do need to do the proper due diligence on things like the utilities to get a better feel for the exact expenses and put in adequate factors in for vacancy, repairs and capital and of course management.

That's the only way you'll truly know if what you did actually made worthwhile money or if it was just a way to acquire a house that was fixed to your tastes but for only a minor discount.Off the top of my head, things to include that often aren't considered by some newbies:-carrying costs (if the goal is a long-term hold then flip as opposed to immediate flip, you can buffer some or all of this with some rental income)-selling/closing costs (I like to use 8%, which may be slightly high)-self-employment tax on your gains-contingency or slush fund (for when your expenses are higher than you expected--this can happen often)Hope this helps.
