How to calculate rent for investment
I am in the beginning stages of getting ready to purchase my first home with the VA loan. I am trying to calculate how much the property would rent for before I buy it so that in 3-4 years when I PCS I can rent it out and know I would have cash flow on it. In the area I am in there are not a lot of houses comparable for rent so I am having trouble figuring out what a fair market value for the house would be. What can I do?
