Your numbers may not seem to make sense from a cashflow position, but you will be getting into a multifamily property with very little cash (comparatively) and lowering your mortgage expenses compared to not house hacking.

We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

They will be a little more expensive that Conventional when compared apples to apples, but would probably be worth it. 

Long-term financing not so much, with high rates/fees compared to others....

Hi @Naveen kumar Vadlamudi in terms of house hacking compared to out of state investing.

Go line by line in the bill and ask questions about the charges and compare to the scope of work you approved.

Cap Rate helps in comparing investment opportunities by evaluating potential returns based on income and value. 3.
