Are maintenance expenses typically this high? I guess I didn’t think expenses were this high; it seems very hard to turn a profit based on cash flow.

I'm not saying that they are that high. Your job is to figure out what the correct numbers should be. Once you've validated all your assumptions, then you can make a good decision to buy or not buy this piece of property.
