I would encourage you to look outside of Austin since going there shouldn't be too difficult if you need to do something in person, you can even drive some of the areas yourself and do your own evaluation of it.

That's not to say you can't do well there, but I'd encourage you to look at Belton and Temple (which can also be very rough and block to block) rather than Killeen.The good news is that there continues to be serious population and job growth in the area.

query=garage#sear...If you can rent a 2 garage at $450 without spending ~$150k for a garage ADU conversion, no work/risk of the ADU conversion, the lower maintenance/capex, easier eviction, no rent control, less tenant interaction, it will not convert your SFR to rent control, etc, it seems superior to the garage ADU conversion.  

I realize you are still looking at a house hack and I would encourage you to focus on that, "since February" is a bit vague (is that inclusive or exclusive of Feb?)

I have had some interaction with this group.  

I strongly encourage finding a fairly priced, knowledgable accountant you can trust.
