Conclusion

This property is ideal for a House Hack turned Nomad™ opportunity.  With only an assumed 5% down, conventional loan, it would be considered a breakeven cash flow opportunity.  There would be some upfront costs to partition off the separate living areas and to add to the already existing kitchenette.  Further, we assessed an 8% yearly repair/maintenance budget for this property which is very conservative since the home is recently fully-remodeled. If self-managed, the return would be even greater upon moving out.  Furthermore, the rents budgeted are on the very low end. Considering the proximity to downtown, each unit could easily get $100-150 more a month than budgeted.
