Fundamentally the deal sounds good, but I don't see anything that breaks down the expenses and your expense ratio seems on the lower side although could be right and that's what you really need to dive into.

The PM aspect is the most important, as you need someone who you trust to stand by your for 10+ years.

If you're willing to put in that type of effort you will find success.If you put in 10 offers from 100 deals and do not get a single one accepted - at that point I would suggest you revisit your formulas and fundamentals and possible change your strategy.
