All things you can caculate before you buy it. If the deal doesn't look good then you look for a better one.
In my city, it is not possible to collect 2/3 of the duplex expenses from a tenant rent because rents are very low and they are not really viewed as an income producing property. You are more likely get 1/3 of the expenses paid by the rent and the owner/occupant will have to pay the other 2/3 of it.
