Is $1000 a month a good enough amount for a house hack?
Hi everyone. I’m looking to do my first deal and after crunch the numbers, I’d be looking at about $1100 in positive cash flow a month. I’d be doing a 203k loan to get some work done. After the year I’d be able to rent out the other apartment and my monthly positive would increase to $3100. I’m just worried that the first year isn’t enough to help save up in case anything goes wrong. Any help is appreciated

How off were the monthly taxes that you go from cash flowing $1000 to 'losing' money every month?
