Setting Rent & Screening Possible Tennants

[John Bongers]

I'm in Bellbrook Ohio (a suburb of Dayton) and my wife and I are looking to purchase a new home and rent out our current home. I was wondering how to calculate the rent I should set and what resources people in the area are using to screen possible tenants. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I definitely have used both Craig's List and Rentomer, in addition not sure if you are working with a realtor but my real estate agent also provided me reports on similar properties that were listed in the area for rent as there is a division of her company that handles both rentals and new sales, these were really helpful because a bunch of these listings weren't on Craig's list, and they contained pictures so I could compare them to my rental.  (Plus she did all the work!)
