I have read on the internet and from few other people that it is not the right time to purchase a property as there is a prediction going around about market crash.

Anyone have good strategies to determine the value of a property with hardly any comps? 

The market determines the rental rates based on a variety of criteria.

UPDATE: I was determined to figure this out and it just took me another minute to do so.

Once you determine who has jurisdiction, those folks will likely be able to answer your question.

What I can't seem to determine is the rental potential as in will I be able to keep it consistently occupied in one area as opposed to the other.

I am trying to determine if I am being unreasonable or to impatient and looking for advice. 

Sometimes Facebook and internet searches are the only way I can get the information.

Since you're new to investing, go slow.1) identify how much time you can devote to investing2) based on nu. 1, determine whether you want to be active investor or passive one3) based on the conclusion in nu. 2, look into options available for either passive or active investors.I have a library of books.

That will determine the next step.
