Thanks for the tip!

--------------------I have a really incredible off market deal at my finger tips from within the family.

Where you live will always show negative cash flow per month, for you.The trick is to invest so that your costs are less than rent (and, you're building equity).Of course it's ideal if you can invest/house-hack to "live for free" and generate extra income at the same time. 

If anyone could give me some tips on what to look for in multi-family homes for house hacking and how to run the numbers properly that would be greatly appreciated!

A good CPA will more than pay for themselves with the tips they can provide you to reduce your taxes. 

But I have seen new investors forget that tenants may leave and they don't have the capital or contracts to get renovations done to get the now vacant units in tip top shape to get the higher end of the market.  

Any tips on where to find them?

@Andy DanielsThanks for the tips!

Owning properties and making a steady cash flow to be able to have my money work for me has been a massive goal of mine and I have to start somewhere and am looking for tips, ideas, really anything that could help me start this process!

One valuable tip I’ve already realized is the higher-than-expected property tax on investment properties in the Indianapolis area, referenced by @Victor Tatyanin in a recent post (I was quite disappointed by this, but of course this is vitally important information!)
