Looking for guidance on property lived in first then renting

Looking for help in evaluating a home I purchased and lived in for 2 years.  In the military at the time and moved.  Decided to rent.  Now having joined Bigger Pockets I want to see if what I have is a good deal and not sure how to figure out.  Please let me know how to do this.

    How to evaluate a rental is just one of many, many tools provided by BiggerPockets that will teach you how to evaluate a property. Watch a couple of the videos or read some blogs on BP and then practice a few times. It's pretty simple.
