Thank you for the advice, and sorry for taking so long to respond I'm currently getting up to speed in a new job and trying to find a more permanent solution for housing rather than my car and the occasional couch. 

Thanks Seth, I found the rent on Zillow Rents (Rentometer was acting up) but though it looked suspicious. As for the utilities I've been hitting a wall trying to find average costs for the area, the county websites seem to avoid listing actual numbers. Do i just need to call the utility's department for that area and ask direct or am I just not searching correctly. 

Next the monthly expenses. I'm assuming your referring to the fixed and variable land-lord expenses, and that you are saying that I have over estimated the monthly expenses despite not having any utility's in the report.

Finally With California being a rent controlled state, would it be easier for someone of my level to try and find a single family house with an extra room or two and Airbnb them?

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Hello, I'm trying to look into the possibility's for house hacking in Los Angeles, CA. This property is a 4-plex with two 2+1 and two 1+1. I know the area is not ideal for investing, and the numbers i'm getting seem a little to optimistic. The areas I am most concerned with are the loan fees, the total gross rent, and the utilities (or lack of). Again any info or insight as to what might be wrong
