I am preparing to tour and purchase my first house hack property within the next couple months. My question to you guys is: What kind of questions/information should I be asking and looking out for when touring? I will be looking at a duplex and quadplex later this week, TIA!

Have any specific questions I can answer? 


 Yeah! Do you think it is a realistic possibility of finding a positive cash flow property as is?

So since August I've been looking into house hacking and talking to one of my friends who does rentals. I moved into my gf's family's home in October so I could work and save up money. My goal is sometime in May, and I'm projected to have $15-20K by then. I still have a lot to learn but I figured the sooner I jump in, the better. I'd like to purchase a quad-plex but to my understanding, I should take a good deal when I see one whether that's a duplex or triplex even. I'm currently trying to figure out the best way to calculate cash on cash return, as I have some time to find opportunities and would love to cash flow positive off the bat. I just feel like there's a lot to account for and I want to make sure I don't blindside myself. I'd be grateful for any advice you guys would like to share, thank you!
