It is the only calculator of its kind to help you determine: if househacking is a better investment than a traditional home purchase, how long to hold onto the investment before selling, how long to live in the property, and which unit to occupy.If this will be a traditional rental property investment (not a househack), select ‘renter’ for all units under the Summary Tab’s ‘Property Information’ section.Metrics used for the deal analysis:The purchase price is based on the median sale price - $1,450,000 Unit bed/bath counts are based on the median 5 bed/3 bath counts for sold Astoria 2-family properties this year.Projected rents are $3,200 and $3,900 respectively as shown in our median rents for 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom apartments.Not included in the analysis is ADU income.
