Also, I wouldn't dismiss all brokers, as some of them have negotiated terms they can offer or access to private or lesser known funds you may not be aware of.  

The owner is a very small nonprofit who has ties to my family, so we aren’t going to use any RE agents.I’ve noticed there is a North Carolina vacant land contract, but I don’t have access to it as a Texas real estate agent.I’ve noticed there is a North Carolina vacant land contract, but I don’t have access to it as a Texas real estate agent.Do I need an agent to complete this form? 

It will give you access to VA loans, which can get you into a house-hack for virtually nothing and can be used over and over again (refinance out of the VA loan, do another one). 

Use Rentometer.com or BP Insight to have an idea of what the property will rent for.If you don’t have access to either then use 90% of whatever Zillow Rent Estimate is for example, if Zillow says it will rent for $2000, then 0.9x$2000 = $1800 will be the most likely rent.That been said, the best comparable is the one you get from an Agent because they have MLS access with a lot of data that will provide you the best result.Goodluck
