beginner rental question

[Joshua Towry]

Hello all!

  So me and my girlfriend are doing our studying up on the world of real estate.. we own a property in the west suburbs of chicago, and are looking into moving and renting the home we are currently in.. we currently pay about $720-750/mo.. we could potentially rent it for about 1.2-1.3k/mo.. is that something i should think about doing? we mostly have the resources to get another place for us to stay.. is there anyone that could offer me some advice or send a link my way to give me a little bit more of a heading? im pretty new to all of this.. thanks for all the great info on this site and much love everyone!
