Rent rates outside Ithaca, NY? Anybody have experience?

Hey everyone!

I’m about to place an offer on a place in Cortland County, NY, about halfway to Ithaca. I’m having a hard time feeling confident in my numbers for rent.... some homes seem very cheap to rent currently while others are very expensive. This is a single family home on a humble plot, and I’m thinking $1/sq ft? Does anybody have any thoughts?

I’m trying not to waste the time of property managers since don’t know id be hiring any although I reached out to one, and never heard back.

Thank you!
