First time investor, house hacking, FHA loan, analysis check

Hey everyone! I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on my first investment and just want to double check some figures with the pros! I would love some advice and please feel free to critique anything that I may have messed up or missed. Thanks so much in advance! I LOVE Bigger Pockets! (pun intended) 

Quick rundown:

I am going to be house hacking this property for the first year. (FHA loan) This property has a couple options to house hack as it has an apartment upstairs (3 bedroom, 1 bath) the main floor (2/3("bonus room") bedroom, 1 bath) and a basement (1 bedroom, 1 bath, no kitchen -yet-) Looking for opinions on how to do this?? The owner of the house right now rents the upstairs apartment for $1600 and the main floor WITH the basement for $2400. (IF IT'S AN ISSUE WITH ME STAYING IN THE BASEMENT, I WAS GOING TO TAKE THE UPSTAIRS APARTMENT AND RENT OUT THE MAIN PART OF THE HOUSE WITH THE BASEMENT)

My plan on managing this property:

This home has a finished basement 1 bedroom, 1 full bath, living room with OSE, all pluming is done to add a kitchen.  I am actually planning on living in that for the first year since I am taking an FHA loan. (I'm being told that it is illegal to have 3 units in a single family home, however no one needs to know that?) Also I only plan on having it a 3rd unit as I live there and then opening it up to the main floor as additional bedrooms/bathrooms and living space, which I'd be able to bring in an extra $200-$300 a month?? *** at this time I would then hire a property manager to manage this property and the additional $200-$300 a month should cover most of the expense for that, 8%-10% or so, correct?

Here's my analysis:

Purchase Price:$320,000.00

ARV: $325,000.00

FHA: 30 years, using 4.5%

Total operating expenses:Mortgage expenses:
Vacancy: 5%$190.00Repairs:$190.00 5%
