House hacking is about subsidizing your housing payment and eliminating or lowering that monthly burden which is your biggest expense.

We've had our share of CAPEX expenses on a few of our buy and holds which definitely takes away from the Piggy Bank. 

all the time, so I try to every now and then share it with others and answer any questions.Location: Metro DetroitPrimary target: Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1100-$1500 (no rent control in MI)1% rule: 1%-1.4% rule dealsROI: 8-14%Cash flow: $150-$300/door (after all expenses and budgeting for maint, capex, vacancy)Appreciation: 3-7%+ (has been double digit for last decade)Location: C+, B-   Some Notes:- I don't actually save 15% for vacancy, maint, capex any more.

That would cut into your expenses a good amount, add property taxes, insurance, property management, repairs, capex, and a small vacancy rate and you can see that number starts to go down rapidly.

In Kissimmee especially we’re seeing vacancies of ltr of 80 days on average and rental rates under $2200.

On average, 80 people move into Columbus weekly.

I have found a number of other users posted this question in the forum over the years but I cannot find a resolution anywhere.The way the Rental Property Calculator derives the "Profit if sold" number seems to have an error in it if you are using the function to increase the rental rate and expenses each year.

Recognize that it's unlikely that everything stays conservative in how reality unfolds - chances are, between rent growth, appreciation, and interest rates, something is going to move at an above-average pace.

We ended up putting $180,000 additional into the property to cover operating expenses, which we were able to reimburse ourselves through the warehouse property sale and operating profit since 2023.  

This gives me a Net profit of 82K which is an Average Annual ROI of 57.4% based on the total 18k investment.
