Without knowing the purchase price and just basing it off your numbers given this will most likely be a negative cash flow property.

You have to factor in vacancy rates, maintenance cost, yard maintenance, property management, insurance etc...

Sales price is $165,000. I will put down 10%. Finance around $150,000.

Insurance was included in the mortgage price. Being empty is not really a problem around Texas Tech. If even one side is rented is almost pays the mortgage alone.
For the most part there is no yard. What yard there is, I will probably install artificial turf.
I am a general contractor and can effectively take care of some of the maintenance issues or know subcontractors that would do it at a discounted rate, especially if they want other work.
