Beginner Question: Calculating Multi Family Hacking Rent

[Makoto Hawkins]

Hello all. I am starting off learning the basics of house hacking and wish to clarify a quick detail. When evaluating a property to be 'hacked', should I include the potential rent on all units (including the unit Id live in) within my calculations? How does this protect from a false sense of financial stability when realistically I will not be collecting rent from myself?

Best,

Makoto
