What is a good way to determine the value of a rental property you would like to buy?

I am interested in investing in some rental property and I would like to know what a good method is to determine how much I should pay for a rental property based on rent recieved.

For instance one duplex I have looked at has collected an average of 11,500 a year over the last 5 years. However, it is for sale for 275,000. That seems like a high asking price based on the amount of money it is generating.

(I know the amount of money a rental property is generating is not the only factor, but I think it should be an easy way to narrow down my options.)

Thanks!!
