Owner occupant analysis for Multi Family Unit

[Chukwudi Motanya]

Hey everyone I am currently looking for multi family unit properties to one day become an owner occupant investors. From reading posts and blogs from this website, I am familiar on the analysis that goes into finding out if a property is a good deal or not, but how does the analysis transfer over when you're an owner occupant?

In my case I'm paying 900 for rent a month but with a multifamily that could go down to 300 if I live in one unit. Even though it doesn't completely cover my mortgage I am still paying much less than before.

How do i know if its a good deal when I'm an owner occupant?

Thanks a lot!
