Quote from @Dave Schimmels: What is a good way to get accurate rent comps with existing tenants based on the area?

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

You could also consider CoLiving/Rent By The Room(RBTR)/Single Room Occupancy(SRO)/Padsplit.

We usually rent there each year in February. 

When tenants stay for ten years, it's usually because their rent is well below market rates.

.)- Average days on market- Absorption rate- Historical data on rents and sale prices in the area- Population growth- Main economic drivers (industries, individual companies, etc.)- Crime stats... if you know specific zip codes/submarkets that you'd like to target, the best data will come from local precincts. - and more..I'd recommend remaining active not only here on BiggerPockets, but in other valuable RE investment networks that you can find - i.e. local meetups (meetup.com, eventbrite, BP local events). 

Note, I am not looking for a syndicate to BRRR or rent of some sort.Experience: I have personally bought an old home on a 8,000 sq ft lot, rezoned it to two 4,000 sq ft lots with a family member.

I rent out a 2 unit property in baltimore county.

A rent-to-own type situation and also a sublet/ property arbitrage.
