For the 10 year period spanning October 2014-2024, single-family prices in Austin nearly doubled, yielding an annualized appreciation rate of ~9% in that period.With inflation nearing its 2% target and signs of a slowing labor market, The Federal Reserve recently made its second cut to the federal funds rate since the start of the COVID pandemic.

Try looking into zillow/Redfin and see what your potential rents you can get near the neighborhood by filtering the bedrooms/bathrooms of the intentional property that you are planning to buy.

Our plan is to rent each of the 3 bedrooms of the main house as mid terms and the in-law as a long term (already have a tenant in there).

For a duplex, you'd likely need to double the estimate if the units are identical.

If the property is in a rough part and only rents for 1000 and is harder to manage than a rental that's double that and it's percentage based they gave to be compensated fir the extra work. 

However, there are plenty of charming single story one bedroom house ideas out there.
