You need to calculate the after-tax rental income first, remedy then after tax cash flow second.
First after-tax income from the property.
Income

Expenses
b) mortgage interest
c) depreciation (assume 80% of the purchase price is depreciable building, thus annual depreciation is purchase price * 80% / 27.5 years or about 2.9% of the purchase price)
d) real estate taxes
e) rent loss due to vacancy, tenant
f) management fee
g) maintenance fee
h) insurance
Income – expense would give you roughtly taxable rental income from the property.
