About 5410 Belle Vista Ave
With 20% down, your monthly out-of-pocket cost to live in one unit of this Hamilton-Waltherson duplex is just $374 after applying market rent from the second unit toward your PITI. With FHA or conventional financing and as little as 3.5% down, total monthly PITI is approximately $2,332 + PMI. Apply the projected $1,250 rent from the other apartment, and your cost drops to just $882/month.
That’s before deducting mortgage interest and property taxes—an added tax benefit that renters never get!
