What unit size / config is the easiest to rent out?

[Nawab I.]

I am considering my first real estate deal. I am thinking to buy a rental property in Austin area and rent it out. With a 40 to 60k down payment budget, what will be safest to buy and quicker to rent? Is one bed condo in A location better or 3 bed in B location?

How does Austin scenario compare with Sacramento, CA. One obvious difference is that rental income will be lower but property tax will also be lower. Are Sacramento properties expected to appreciate better than Austin?

Thanks
