I want to put a home on it, it has utilities running to the property already.

The contractor took 3.5 months, and her mortgage was $1,500 not including utilities and landscape (oh and market/escrow time).

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.

Currently landlord pays for all utilities, is a system/product/device that can be installed to the water meter that tracks the usage of water through each unit so I would be able to bill the tenants separately?

The property is rented at 850 a month with market rent average at 1300 and she covers all utilities and yardwork. 

I feel like it can be costly on utilities but the tenants are responsible for water and electricity anyways.

Fully furnished, utilities included, close to hospitals and colleges. 

I’ve been managing it myself, utilizing Guesty to sync my bookings and send out automated messages.

We have a huge influx of people buying in NH at the moment, obviously mostly short-term COVID-related, however I do feel this will be pretty sustained, now that so many people are questioning city life and have realized it IS possible to work from home, so why not do so in an incredibly beautiful place with hardly any crime and tons of outdoor activities?

I'm hoping this program can still be utilized.
