Analyzing A House Hack

[James Nix]

Hey everyone

Ok so I'm analyzing a deal I'm interested in right now. My first deal will be a FHA loan so I will be living in the property with the tenant. The property is a duplex and as I'm running the numbers I have come up with a problem I cant seem to figure out. Should I be analyzing this duplex with the intentions on losing a few bucks a month (i.e $100-$300) of the cash flow since I will be living there and therefore will be contributing to the expenses? Or should I be running the numbers so conservative that the tenant will be covering everything? Which will make the a deal harder to find.
