Mutli-Family Rental Property Analysis

[Patrick Fermo]

Hello All, 

I'm practicing running the numbers on Multi-Families so that when I cross a good deal I'm able to analyze it quickly and efficiently. My plan is to house hack a 2 unit while renting out the other side, and then after the first year move out and rent both sides. When running the numbers, do you input the values as if you'd be renting out both sides immediately? How do you factor in the loss of rental income in that first year when deciding whether or not you're looking at a good deal? Thanks for the help!
