I'm now looking to house hack in Dallas or the surrounding areas (likely Arlington) but am a bit stuck on how to run the numbers.When calculating cash flow on the my duplex in Indiana I took into account PITI, vacancy reserves, maintenance and repairs reserves and utilities to get down to my net cash flow amount.When running the same calculations using 5% down on the house hack, I find myself quite a bit in the negative.

If your goal is stability and less volatility, an LTR could be more predictable, but it wouldn’t give you the cash flow cushion you’re looking for.Pros:More predictable income with less management effort than STR.Lower vacancy rates compared to STR.Less risk of fluctuating occupancy rates.Cons:Potential negative cash flow if maintenance and repairs exceed margins.Limited growth potential for income.3.

I can only speak for my own city, Greater Cincinnati.

Generally speaking though, this asset class can be argued to be one other most management-intensive. 

I have only tried it twice so just wondering what the more experienced investors think of this, or is this just something that people talk about to try and make a real estate investing negative seem not so bad? 

Have your attorney send your contractor a letter explaining your dissatisfaction, any legal, ethical, or moral violations his operating methods result in, and making him an offer BELOW your “target” amountbest of luck I have an attorney that I considered speaking with on this matter, but I’m not sure that he specializes in things like this.
