I'd compare the cost of keeping the house versus what rents are in your area.

The cost is probably small compared to theft, fire, tornado, etc.

On average, after all the expenses, I make about $500 - $1000 more per month compare to long term rental.

Interview several banks with the same questions, put their answers on a spreadsheet to compare which has the best terms for your business.

@Ryan HHi Ryan,Watch the Amp Draw of the new fridge compared to what is on the circuit already and the Breaker Amps.If it's older wiring the fridge may not have it's own circuit or it may be too small.just my 2 cents...

Single-family rental returns are comparable to stocks, with far less volatility.3 .The local market dynamics are creating pockets of opportunity for residents.Today’s rental market represents more than 16 million households, according to Green Street Advisors.

Re: sales price, while the sale of the comparable unit in your complex will definitely be helpful, that's not going to be the only measure an agent will have when doing a CMA for you.  

No comparables can lead to high vacancies (which you may have to allocate for).

A single offer at your asking price isn't nearly as convincing that the "market is willing to pay" as compared to 6 or 8 or 10 offers/interested parties.Definitely create a list of your upgrades along with the cost (assuming the cost is high enough to bridge the gap between the dated comps and your sale price) - photos don't really matter. 

All,I am new to the sight but I am looking for a resource to find metrics / multiples for comparable transactions on a given property type in a similar area.
