Its worth as must rent as a renter is willing to pay, (for dollhouse or jailhouse). Just because you spent money and expect a rent, that does not translate into what the renter can afford or want to pay, you also have to look at your competition. Lately, everyone is so convinced that 'their' home has value, what they forget is that they in turn were convinced what it was worth, in todays terms its absolutely meaningless, its worth what the next person is willing to pay. (sometimes it can be a lot, sometimes you will be surprised how low it is)

make sure you can rent the home for enough to cover all you expenses + make a little money. how much does it cost you(mortgage+taxes+insur+assn fee) vs. how much can you rent it for (check craigslist.com to compare rentals in your area). does your assn allow rentals?

You have to look at this situation as an investor. ask yourself a few ?'s. most importantly can you rent the house and cover all your expense + make a little money( mortgage+insurance+assc fee+taxes= total for you) how much can u rent for, check craigslist.com to see rental prices in your area). if you can rent for more than you have to pay monthly, good. make sure the assn allows rentals! if you need more help contact me through my website http://www.DennisStrange.com
