Depends on what your definitions of "good" and inexpensive" are.

I doubt you can get a home in Austin under 200k these days. Try at least 300k in East Austin. My folks live in East Austin and all the homes for sale in their neighborhood area are listed at 400k plus. If you don't mind living outside of Austin, you could probably get some homes in the 120-150k to start range.

All in the name of progress of course.

What do you consider "inexpensive rent?"

You can get a good clean house up in Williamson County!

Anywhere out of Austin!

Theres places on 620 and anderson mill other way from williamson county 2 bd and some have garages for 1050.

What's next? Your business is slow because your incall is in a neighborhood I find terrifying?

Why does that fact that others are interested in other topics have a bearing on this thread? Should everything here cease until she announces she has found a home?

All she needs to do to accomplish what she wants is to contact a Realtor / Locator Service.

Justified or not, many people want input from non-professionals that don't have a stake in the outcome. It also makes sense to seek out all the input you can get. It's a pretty big decision for her. She probably thought people in the community would want to help where they can.

Apartment locators are free and will find you exactly what you need within your budget.
If you have a real world job, it will help prove income. Most management companies will require you to prove monthly income at 3 times the monthly rent. You can also find someone you can sub-lease a place for a few months. If you do it UTR, you may not have to qualify for a lease through the manager's office. Craigslist is the best place for that. Just don't get suckered. Change the locks and get a contract notarized.
Of course a roommate is always an option...but make sure they are provider friendly.
