I'm wondering, why would I rent out a single family home vs putting my money in a stock market index fund? Index funds seem like they're less hassle, but do they consistently perform worse than real estate? If I'm putting in extra work to evict people, you would think there would be some sort of large difference in returns.

What tools exist for appraising the value of an appraiser? Any sort of standardized ways of doing this? Do I just have to rely on Yelp and other such websites to get statistical data?

@Seth Nadreau, thank you for your response. I am curious, why should I kick them if they mention $/square foot?

@Craig Curelop, What kind of real estate investing do you do?

I know Zillow and other websites have tools to give you valuations on properties, but what other tools are there? 

@Craig Curelop, what is average cashflow?

I'm in the KC MO area. Just bought my first house and am looking to rent it out. I know I should be looking for things like ROI. I'm looking to get $500,000 a year in income off of renting out properties. What's the best way to get started here? Looking for a checklist of things I need to know / do in order to get started.
