Buy to Rent - How do you compare?

[Alex Kovalenko]

How do you guys go about picking properties to buy to rent? Use Zillow? 

For example with 3 bedroom / 2 bath - in Tampa it seems like you can buy an OK house for around $250k and rent it for around $2.5k while Fort Lauterdale similar houses go for around $350k-$400k and rent is a bit cheaper around $2k. So seems like Tampa is much better from investment standpoint. 

Am I missing anything? Thanks,
