    Hi cmyoung,

    A general rule of thumb is that the property should rent for 1% of its value. If it is worth $80,000, you should be able to get atleast $800 per month on it. Like I said, this rule isnt an absolute, but it will give you a good idea.

    Another option is to look in the news paper under houses for rent. This is how I keep uo with rent prices in all of the neighborhoods of my city!

    Best of Success!
