House Hacking help please
Hey Y'all
Im looking at a duplex that has potentially great #s when both units are rented but if I house hack for that first year or two there's no way to make the #s positive.

cash flow of -$255 and CoC ROI -52.5%
once i move out and rent the second unit I'm looking at MCF of $460. and CoC of 54.99%
of course these aren't hard figures but probably pretty close. I'm using the BP rental property calculator
does this make sense? Is this typical when hacking?

@Robert Andrade$1875 rent for a $125-130k property sounds good to me, given what else you have said.
