and you can allocate your proceeds in any way you want.

I properly allocate a percentage of the overall rent to expenses like CapEx, vacancy etc, but on top of that, how much should you have set aside in order to sufficiently cover any unexpected expenses.

Hard to say without seeing the property itself and knowing how old the roof, etc are, but you may want to consider allocating 10% to capex or maintenance/repairs instead of 5%.Hope this helps, best of luck and let me know how it goes if you do submit an offer!

Stick around these forums and find a way to buy a house, house hack with roommates for cheap living expense, then do as you please in your own house.What a fantastic allocation of police resources *eyeroll* it was pretty terrible of that guy to put you in that situation.

There's also a lot of factors a play related to personal finance that only you know, ie risk tolerance, investment allocation, etc.  

Which means that the 10% you were going to allocate to cap ex and maintenance can really be 5%.

I typically have allocated >=$300/month for maintenance/cap ex per unit. 

If you have allocated a set amount to real estate, that amount would be enough to add substantial value to either the single or the duplex (maybe your ADU) after which you could refi and your overall cost structure be better.

A house hack is actually more complex for tax reporting than a buying a full rental since you've got some allocations related to the expenses between business and personal. 

And it doesn't matter how you allocate your proceeds.
