rental value of first buy n hold?

[Michael Murphy]

Hello All!

Any suggestions for figuring rental charge for a potential investment property other than calling a PM company or Craigslist? Just wondering if there was a MLS for rentals or something. More data would give a better average...

TY!¡!!!!

Hi @Michael Murphy ... to clarify you are looking for the value of what your rental property would rent for?    If so there are a few great resources....   http://www.rentfaxpro.com/    or    https://www.rentrange.com/  

I use both when i am buying in areas i'm not overly familiar with the rental market.  My experience with both of these companies is while they don't present empirical evidence of the rent values , they both have excessive resources and when comparing the rent values they present to the properties already in my portfolio they are pretty accurate.
