Strategy Change Rental Price

I want to do house hack in the DFW area, buying a multifamily and then living in one of the units, but so far I do not like the properties I've seen. I was thinking on changing my strategy to buying a single family, via FHA loan, living in it 1 year and then renting it, since I figured this market is big in single families. Now here is my problem, the MLS only shows the asking price in the properties and not what they rent for. What I'm doing now is taking the MLS street address and input Zillow to see how much the properties close by rents for. I make a range from the lowest to the highest it could rent for and then take the middle price. Is this accurate or do you think there is a better way of getting this info? Also, I am trying to train a virtual assistant, via upwork, on doing this task. Do you think this is wise, or should I do it by myself in this early stage.
