Can someone point me to a dependable website where I can find rental rates for a given area?

padmapper.com

I'm a big fan of this website. Interface is nice and it does a fantastic job of compiling postings from various places (craigslist, oodle, apartements.com, rent.com) so that you don't have to look separate websites.

zillow.com
rentometer.com
MLS rental comps
Craigslist has a good map feature debuted a few months back showing places for rent

But keep in mind that all of the above (and previously mentioned padmapper) aren't accurate enough. They're estimates.  I would not buy real estate based solely on estimated rents.

But they'll give you a rough idea to start.
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
