Have you "run the numbers" more than you shared in your post?

If you mean, can you get in good with some gov't program that favor you in acquiring and fixing up run down housing and make it affordable living for people in the community? 

Either model takes a lot of commitment to run successfully.

You'll have to run those numbers to see if it makes sense.

Wholesaling is just like any other business; it takes time to build systems and processes to run a profitable operation.

If everything else looks good, would this make you run?

I’ve had clients pay $100k for a sewer line though (commercial properties, complicated lines running under parking lots, sidewalks, landscaping and the bid includes replacing the landscaping too, etc. or requiring a permit from the city to close off the road for the day with traffic control, etc.).

Run!!

I can run the numbers for NOI-depreciation and this holds true, but not all of the operating expenses are deductible (or at least maintenance, vacancy and cap ex aren’t until that money is spent).

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.
