What to expect with cash flow while using house hack method
I am trying to get into my first rental by using the house hacking method. In my analysis I am finding it hard that I make a positive cash flow with all expenses included while I am living there.
My question is should I expect my cash flow to be positive while I live there or should I expect to pay utilities and maybe a little towards rent or should I only accept a deal that makes me some money and has a higher percent cash on cash after I move out?
