House Hacking Analysis in CA

[Shirley Wagner]

Hello, I love BP and am motivated to stop renting and house hack. Living in CA everything is really expensive. Seeking to do a FHA for a duplex but how do I know if it is a good deal when I will need to pay for my unit? Do I factor in my share as collected rent? If so, doe the cash on return go out the window? Any insight for looking at this is much appreciated with thanks
