Starting to give up on real estate
Hello all, im yet to find a good deal in my area. Its okay i understand its going to take time. I found a great deal and the day i put my offer in it went under contract that morning. I have a quick question for anyone who invest or starting to invest. Im trying to figure out how much i should charge for rent in the area the home is in to see if the deal is good enough for me

Besides using Craigslist & rentometer as Alex Capozzolo suggested, you should go look at houses for rent in your area. Attend open houses to see what the house is like in the inside. You'll start learning your market and will know what a house will bring in rent. Good luck!
