New Orleans real estate/ owner occupied duplex

I have been looking at few 2-4 unit properties uptown and was wondering if anyone familiar with the local market thinks prices will change significantly in the next 12 months.

Also, I am planning to live in one of the units. Does anyone have advice as to how I could best complete a rent/buy analysis considering it would be an income producing property? I will also have to weigh the tax implications of the rent revenue/ figure out which maintenance costs would be deductible.
