First-time Philly House Hacker

Hi all, first-time [future] house hacker.  My wife and I are moving back to Philly and have found a duplex we're interested in, both units being 2 bed/1 bath at roughly 750 SF.

I used the BP Rental Property Calculator, which honestly I'm not sure I'm even using correctly and/or might be over or underestimating various factors.

Does this look like a good deal?  Am I understanding correctly that our effective rent would be $1,767?

Even when we move out and rent out the other unit, currently I think this neighborhood would only get $1,400 each, so according to the calculator, it would still be burning cash instead of cash flowing.

Thanks for any help!
