Whatever you want to do post your number, first, lets have a look and don't forget that a huge chunk of your mortgage payment is applied to the principal and this makes a huge difference when crunching your numbers.But...I still try to stay away from single-family homes when the home will not appreciate in value, substantially, but as a previous BP member posted, you still may be better off buying than renting if that is your only choice and cannot buy an investment property that generates a profit almost exponentially compared to a single family home for your personal residence.

If you did and got great results, you can forget about what I wrote.

Not trying to schill their products but they have some great content for getting started and things to know. 

The margin for getting it right is smaller than LTR. 

Is there some sort of industry standard for getting rough rental estimates? 

@Corbett Brasington yeah… i don’t know why I can’t copy and paste it correctly from my browser window.

In fact, forget percentages all together...they tell you NOTHING of importance, and just cloud the issue. 

This large 3/2 home with a large bonus room is nearly 100 years old, but it is still in good condition, and has been updated with new HVAC, insulation, electrical (installed by previous owner), flooring and paint, windows, and kitchen backsplash + counters.

We recently purchased a duplex and had a few electrical issues and a few windows that didn’t latch put in our amendment before we agreed to purchase.

Forget the dial with the estimates on it.
