How to determine rent

[Javier Campanini]

I was wondering what others are using to determine rent for a given property. I know there are a lot of variables (bedrooms, sq feet, quality, etc.), so anything within a +/- $300 range would be good. My main objective is to do a quick first pass over different properties.

I know of a couple of sources, but the data isn't easy to work through:

• Craigslist - search for a zipcode, with 0 miles
• zilpy.com - but they have a limited number of searches

I'd be willing to pay a subscription fee if the data is easy to consume and accurate enough.

Thanks! :)
