Hi, anyone know of a good source to find market rents???

Loopnet is good for commercial deals. The newspaper, online site like forrent.com and signs in the yard and for rent magazines and Realtors are the only other sources I can think of. Not much help.
You might also try Property Management companies. They can usually do a free rental analysis for you. Just don’t abuse them, tho.
Another great source is: http://www.huduser.org/datasets/fmr.html
This is HUD’s site for fair rents in any state/county/city. I find it to be a tad high for my area, but I give a break for a solid tenant. I don’t like to deal with evictions, but who does?! Frankly I’ve been absent from the site because of a new purchase and an uncollected rent issue <oman).
Good luck!
