Conclusion

We are estimating $1,497 a year in cash flow after accounting for the mortgage, insurance, taxes, vacancy, HOA, and putting money aside for repairs and reserves.  The landlords are managing themselves, and they got a well-qualified tenant in the property very quickly (barely any vacancy).  Not bad for only putting 15% down!
