I would be using FHA financing and living in one unitThe numbers (my best estimate) would be:Rent(current 2 units at 750/month, 1 at 700/month, 1 vacant)=2200Potential rent(fully rented including my unit at 750)=3000PITI=1800 (PMI is making this expensive, this is a rough estimate but should be accurate+/-100)Maintenance=150 (5%)Capex=150 (5% roof was just repaired and 3 units have new heaters)Utilities=400 (best estimate for water sewage and trash seems high to me but would rather be conservative, this is what the last 4plex in the area I analyzed told me)vacancy=300(10% again being conservative saying I will lose about 1 month per year)management=300 (10% I will be selfmanaging at least while I live there but I want it to make sense financially with management)cash flow=$300 (not counting me paying myself rent)In these numbers I am assuming I increase the rent on the one unit that is currently below the others.
