Analyzing rental rates?
Hey BP crew, other than the Apartments.com or Redfin's, what are you using to evaluate potential rental rates in an area you are considering investing in? Thank in advance!

Rentometer, FB marketplace, and Craigslist are all good options.
You can also look up median rents in any city with census data but I believe that is a inclusive of all housing types, sizes, bedroom/bathrooms, etc. so I wouldn’t use that to analyze a specific deal but not a bad option when analyzing markets.
