- Read your local newspapers. As you read through the classified adds, make sure you are comparing apples to apples. Homes with swimming pools and 4 bedrooms is not the same as a one bedroom studio.

Be sure and ask for documentation of their comparable. Use your advisors to help gather information and to give you feedback, do not rely on them to make your decisions.

- Go drive around. As I drive to and from work I notice a number of rental signs. If you have a location or area targeted, or you just bought a rental, beat the street. You can learn a lot just by calling your competition.
