Opinions on Rentometer.com & Rentmetrics.com?

[Samantha M.]

In general, do you find the rental numbers reliable using the websites rentometer.com and rentmetrics.com ?

I was looking at a property in a lower end neighborhood and was unable to find anything comparative to the subject property leased in the past 8 months. However, rentometer and rentmetrics both produce a number for me.

I am just not sure how they are getting there data, thus I am not sure if it is reliable or not. Are they somehow able to get off market rents such as craigs list?

Thanks
