ForRent.com VS Apartment Guide

Craigslist CAN be shady, but that is because they do a bad job filtering out suspicious posts. It is kind of like a treasure hunt for rental spaces on the internet, where you need to search very carefully and with a lot of filters to find a decent place. I found my current apartment on apartments.com but I have also had successful communications and interviews on forrent.com. I should add: Be careful if the... Source: 10 months ago

That's the only way to find something that you will feel comfortable in. You can have some sketchy ass places right across the street from some nice places and they'll both be similar in pricing.

Any of the major sites: Zillow, Truilia, Apartmentslist, will have all the corporate owned places and a good majority of the smaller but professionally managed condos, etc. FB market place and Craigslist I've personally found to be where the majority of basement/ADU's are found. The much smaller complexes that are likely owner run with virtually no internet presence a lot of times can be found on some of the much... Source: over 1 year ago
