I just used rentometer and compared other places near the area. 265k- purchase price13,250- down5000- closing18k out of pocketMonthly payment- 1500 (including escrow)Monthly rent- 1800Cash on cash would be around 20%

I've tried putting together my own excel version but feel like I have nothing to compare it to.

I've started creating an initial spreadsheet that compares different zip codes by some of these metrics (see more here) but wanted to see what other metrics people were looking at.2.

I’ve been searching for seller financing and a lot of the property owners know what terms and down payment they want however I’m in a situation now where the owners are willing to do seller financing but don’t have terms in mind and are open to suggestions.I’m looking at this property to use for the BRRR strategy, however compared to the other houses in the area could be a fix and flip.With the asking price of $68,000 how could I offer a deal with the BRRR strategy in mind?

It’s much easier compared to NYC.

It's very simple compared to others, but not overly so, and it does all the things you mentioned and more.

But the bank went on ONLY COMPARABLE SALES and we were too far off. 

If the UPS tenant is a franchisee then you are comparing two local tenants however the ups tenant must have been approved as a franchisee based on financials.

I have strong credit and would be able cover the costs in the case the rental situation doesn't come to fruition, however where I am hung up is #1 - comping out properties in these more rural areas where there is lower volume and inventory to compare on a $/sqft basis let alone if the information is available and #2 - the majority of the properties I am looking at are older (built 1960s-1980s) some have cosmetic renovations but likely still old bones..this brings me to the my final point is building your 'team' I how have others found reliable inspectors, handymen, emergency services contractors, even cleaners for rental properties?

Is there a website that compares price estimate to rent estimate whether for a specific property or zip code/neighborhood?
