Cozy.co VS Apartments.com

Landlord here. (Small time, my house is a duplex so I only rent 1 unit). I've rented it to people moving to the area before, though. I do the video tour, and use cozy.co (now owned by apartments.com) to run the background check, upload a lease for tenants to sign digitally, and set up digital payments. I'm not saying what their doing is wrong, but just telling you how I do it. Always listen to your spidey sense.... Source: over 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure cozy.co used to do that automatically, not sure if they still do now they are apartments.com. Source: almost 2 years ago

I think I remember cozy.co offering tenants the ability to report payments to the credit agencies. Idk if it is still offered since apartments.com took them over. Source: almost 2 years ago

Our job and 60-70% savings every year helped us to buy our primary home 6yr ago, then I got my realtor license to buy rentals or work as a part time realtor. I was not very successful as a part time realtor but used the license to buy our own rentals every year last 4+ years and saved $10-$15k commission towards down payment on each house. Also, I was able to rent and manage (all new properties and no maintenance... Source: over 2 years ago

Odd question but I used cozy.co for years to do my background checks and I like the service because the tenant paid for everything, I just sent a link to their email so there was 0 liability on my part. Cozy has been sold to apartments.com and has stopped providing this service. All other screening services I've found where the applicant pays for the screening HAS to come with a credit check and I dont want this... Source: over 2 years ago

I'd say start searching now because you never know what you'll be able to find, try apartments.com, Facebook Marketplace, maybe Craigslist if you're brave, and I found a site called roomies.com where you can find rooms and connect with like minded people also searching. I found my place quick; My employer let me know I got the job around 2 weeks before the start date, I found my current place within a week on... Source: 5 months ago

Even if you aren't renting, I'd look for places using apartments.com commute distance feature. All roads in NJ are not created equal. You'll be able to live much further(cheaper, prettier, more space) the further south or west you go, and more than likely 95 or 80 will serve you better than the Garden State Parkway, Route 1, 9, 18, 27, 130.

If you aren't local, try places like zillow, apartments.com, rentcollegepads, or google places like JSM, MHM, Smile, Green Street Realty, University Group, Roland, Bankier, Ramshaw, etc. Source: 5 months ago

You have the budget to afford one of those luxury buildings. There aren't many (any?) in Somerville like that, I think it's due to permits/regulations or something. But if you up your budget filters on apartments.com you could still find something in Somerville with off street parking included. Source: 5 months ago

I always found hidden gems on Craigslist. People shit on it all the time but I preferred it over apartments.com and the like. No b/s, just pay the owner a flat fee monthly. Source: 5 months ago
