I usually look through several places but one of the most consistent tools I've used to do a quick check on potential rental rates is Rentometer.

I am self employed though so not consistent income. 

I set up a model or chart to make the screening process easier and more consistent.

I once had a tenant who remitted his rent a week late pretty consistently.

We just executed a lease for another 6 months, but I am ready, and have been for some time, to sell and capture the equity locked up in this property.Do any investors have advice, or alternative strategies to consider for this situation?

Be persistent and flexible in overcoming challenges, learning from errors, and consistently expanding your knowledge.

If the property is consistently requires expensive repairs, selling it and reinvesting in a less problematic property through a 1031 exchange could be more financially beneficial in the long run.Remember, each option has its pros and cons, and the best choice depends on your specific financial situation and long-term investment strategy. 

The off-market game, although still very competitive, has brought my investors more consistent and reliable results. 

Some have good earnings growth, pay consistent dividends, and have very healthy balance sheets.

I'm a bit more of a fan of San Antonio and think you may be able to capture some value in Austin as the residential growth expands there, tech starts fleeing back to Cali and can get in before a second wave of interest.With that said, I have a lot of properties in Houston.
