The costs sound a little low to me if you are talking turn key including permits, site work, utilities, plans, surveys etc.

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.

@Brody VeilleuxTo maximize returns on multifamily housing, focus on mid-grade updates, amenities, curb appeal, utilities, exploring additional units, creating flexible spaces, and refinancing with a value-add record.

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

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).

My total credit utilization would remain < 30% after taking the cash 3.  

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

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?

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