Hello Artem,

Thank you for posting your numbers. Here are some questions I have.

This is a 3 bed 2 bath house hack. Is this two units or do you mean you'll have roommates?

The interest rate seems a little high in the current environment, but I don't know Indiana. Could you get a lower rate?

How sure are you that rent and market appreciation will be 3%? It seems a little high to me, but again I'm not familiar with NW Indiana.

Could you have the tenant pay water/sewer/trash or is that not typical there?

For your other monthly expenses, I assumed that was home insurance and mortgage insurance premium since you listed neither. I'm also wondering where the principal and interest payments are.

I suppose the house is going to need a little TLC so repairs and maintenance is at 10%. Should vacancy be at 8% or a little lower?

Based on what you posted, it doesn't look like a deal to me, but I could be off. Thanks for posting.
