Atlanta- Inlaw suite vs Duplex House hacking

[Jasmine Gilbert]

Hi BP family!

I'm looking to house hack in the Atlanta and Greater Atlanta areas. This is a pretty expensive market, as a new investor and first-time homeowner I have a somewhat limited budget. Recently my real estate agent suggested looking at homes with completed inlaw suites (1 bed, 1 bath, full kitchen). While I am completely happy living in a 1b/1ba  basement apartment I wanted to know if anyone has insight on how well those types of units would rent in comparison to a duplex.

Looking forward to your responses!
