So I calculated an example. 20% of 352K is $70400 but there's also closing costs.

Then there is another “commercial” one that had “potential” of $175k profit about that she is using in her calculations- well somehow we got to the point everything was done- DD, photos, drone, marketing listings etc. realtor contacts me - come to find out - this isn’t even the RIGHT parcel!

Another thing I think that is worth noting is for people who don't have much of a net worth or much opportunity taking a calculated risk in real estate can be a great way to bring some freedom to your life down the road. 

But when I check them against the bigger pockets calculator, I come up with negative returns.

Also, is there a nifty tool to calculate incremental return of additional principal payment?

IMO every house hacker should include all of these numbers into their overall decision/calculations. 

Be very careful when calculating for a refi or sale-  recent zoning changes have been confusing and ridiculously restrictive for student housing-  some properties are $50k for a reason, run-  it looks... bleak.
