Analyzing a House Hack (First time buyer)

Any advice for someone trying to buy their first duplex and house hack? 

I currently have a pre approval and am shopping properties and am stuck on the deal analysis side of things. I want to be able to pull the trigger when a good deal comes a long and be confident in my investment. What are the best ways to analyze a deal, specifically house hacking a duplex?

Any other advice for someone starting out this way would be greatly appreciated.

    Find the best property you can afford that also can produce enough income so that your monthly out of pocket expense is equal to or less than what you'd pay in rent. Don't over think this, pull the trigger actions create results.
