Like a comedian who goes too deep in to the joke  

I will definitely take a deep dive.

Especially in a litigious society like the US.We do a lot of buyer representation and I have always felt it was unfair that an experienced agent with deep knowledge gets paid the same as a rookie, who basically opens the door and fills in the blanks. 

As long as you aren't too deep into the negatives, with the house hack you'd be living in a property at a very small initial investment (compared to 25%) down while having a reduced mortgage payment as you gain equity in the home, and in TX it'll be quite a bit more than most other states in the US.

I know this is pretty deep down the rabbit hole, but hopefully someone has a better idea than a separate excel sheet (although that might be the best answer?).  

To clarify, the Management Companies were changing....As a side note, I was too deep into this purchase when I found out it had an HOA.........suffice it to say I will not purchase an HOA property again.

But don't hold your breath.
