Feedback on this rental property (FL). Rate my deal

Looking for feedback and suggestions. This is my first attempt at investing in real estate.

Background: Location - North Florida. Property: SFH Price: $385K Down: 25% Rate: 3.5%, Monthly $1300 month Taxes and other: $450 / $5,500 Year. Year Built: 2017. Other: Upscale location, premium schools, walking distance to shopping, resort style pools and amenities. A+.

Similar homes renting for: $2.6K to $3K. Rent prices going up as people from NY are more and more allowed to work from home and are moving south. Lease will cover mortgage and taxes and it will generate about $900/month. From this I will need to account for repairs, vacancy. etc.

Pros: I live close by if that helps. Homes appreciate nicely around here New and desirable community with excess of demand for vacancy. I can see it as a nice asset to pass to my kids. I have the 25% sitting on the bank as part of extra cushion. Time to use it.

Cons: I'm not much of a doer. If something goes wrong, I will need to hire a contractor. Had a rental in SF before, but I had a company managing it. Never touched it. Is the cash flow ok?

Feedback please. I have read great insights from seasoned people on this sub.

Thanks,

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
