House Hacking Question!

James Morin
Posted

Hi everyone this is my first BP post! I just recently purchased my first property, it is a 3 family in Worcester, MA. My question is, if I am living in one of the units and renting out the others should I be cashflow positive from the other 2 units or should the rent total just have me break even after expenses thus having me essentially living for free. I hope i asked this question correctly. Also I do not plan to live here more than one year. After year one all 3 units will be rented.
