If you're going to reinvest the proceeds you might want to consider a 1031 exchange or a cash out refi to generate the investment funds you desire for your next project.

A great REALTOR will help you gather rental history and the cost to own and show you good sites for pulling rental projections, but you will need to do your own calculations.Everyone's mileage varies.

I think good flippers talk about something like 80-20 -- they do well on 80% of their projects.
