Determining Rent
I am looking to buy and hold a house for about one year and then turn it into a rental. I want to make sure that it cash flows well right now so that at the end of the year I will for sure cash flow. Does anyone have a way to determine what the rent would be for a SFR? Also I was talking to a realtor and I was told that I cannot count the rental income as actual income if the property does not have a two year rental history. Is that correct? Please let me know if you have any information in regards to this and thank you in advance.
