I would think you would have to be able to prove their rent as income which if you do you might also have to pay taxes on that income, but don’t quote me on that. If you are buying a house I do suggest you check out this site

No. Your income is way too low . You need an income of $90,000 - $105,000 to qualify or, to put it another way, an income of almost 3 times what you have today. Also, the lender will not count any rental income you claim in their calculations because this is not an investment property.

single family property is not a duplex where you can rent the other side out—so renatl income cannot be used

No, you can not count future rent as income.
You can buy a house worth about 140k with your income and down payment.
