Post: Analyzation of a Deal

I am currently in the early learning stages of getting my numbers correct when evaluating a property. I plan on having my first property owned this fall. I want to do an FHA House Hack and I got pre approved for some FHA loan numbers and the percentages and numbers used are ones that I qualified for so I could find better or even worse when actually purchasing. This is one that has been on the market for over 100 days, this is my first deal so I have not tried any cold calling or off market strategies, but I am just learning and would like some feedback on if my numbers are anywhere accurate. One thing that has given me trouble is dealing with utilities. I would say it would be best for it to just be tenant responsibility, but if I am targeting college students in the college town of Murray. Most students tend to take what is easiest so they usually prefer a flat monthly rate. So either it would be their responsibility or there would be a flat base rate then I would charge them overages if they exceed that amount. This seems to be the hardest thing to decide so I would greatly appreciate some advice in this area specifically. If anything needs to be changed or added please let me know. Do not hold back all the suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I am a full time college student who is a sophomore and wants to begin his passive income with house hacking (looking at a duplex) while in school. But the obstacle I have been told I will run into is not having a steady income and will not be able to obtain a loan (looking at FHA). Can I use projected rent money as income when applying for a loan? Do part time jobs have any benefit in this situation? Is there any solution for someone without a full time job?
