Sounds like a good deal. It on the surface looks like a delayed home run. $355 in Southern California living expense sounds amazing. The end result is positive because you are saving in bigger percentages by doing that. Fight for that 20% LTV and you will create more room for yourself by dropping that PMI and pushing your income above the break even point not even including rental increases.
If you have any questions about your insurance throughout this process please let me know. Sometimes insurance prices creep up over some time.
Thanks man, how could I get a home owner insurance quote?

only water is paid by the landlord according to the RE agent as all units have separate utility meters, and the $150 for home owner insurance I agree is conservative, not sure how much it would be but I could request that info and I'm not sure what the real number here would be

I'm looking at a property where I think it would make financial sense since I could somehow house hack it if the number's make sense and there would be no cash flow (or maybe there would be) and I would skip on paying rent and starting my venture in the RE investor world.
4-plex for 750k
(All costs per monthly basis)
Mortage $3,402
PMI $451
Taxes $781
Home Owner Insurance $150
Utilities $150
Maintenance and Misc $200
Income from Rent $4,425
Total $709 /month
Now my question is, I'm planning on living with my girlfriend and splitting the remaining $709 by two, and we are trying to get a conventional loan with 5% down (that is how I calculated my costs) which brings me to the grand total of $355 per month for an asset in Southern California, what do you guys think?
I'm also interested to know the tax benefits, the depreciation of the asset on the tax side and any other benefits that I would gain from this investment, if anyone can input with real world experience on a similar scenario it would help tremendously

I'm open to negotiation on time and price, if it makes financial sense than I will make a move, so no time frame for me
