included a number of Bay Area cities. They showed the median rent for a typical

the middle, in other words, half the rents for a 1-bedroom apartment are less
then this number and half are higher.

The best
way to find out how much your property might rent for is to look at ads to see
how much rent other owners and property managers are asking for on similar size
units in your area. Rather than spend hours combing through Craigslist and
other rental web sites I have found several good web sites that make it easy
for you to look at a map and see the rental ads from Craigslsit and other
rental sites.
