Duplex as first home investment?

[Gaby Marin]

Hey y'all!

Would love to get advice about how you get a duplex to work for you in terms of cash flow. I'm looking to house hack a duplex and live in one unit while renting out the other but the cash flow wheneverI run the numbers tends to be towards the negative amounts. For a home of 330k I can put down around 40-45%. Am I missing anything? Anyone have a good calculator?

I'm a bit lost so would love to hear anyone's advice about what I might be missing or any tips/tricks they have!
