Rent analysis tools?

[Tony Antonelli]

My wife and I recently sold our short term rentals and we're looking to re-invest in long terms. We live in a very remote part of Colorado so we're going to be investing out of state. We're also just a few weeks away from welcoming our first child so travel is a little difficult at the moment.

My question is: what tools are you using to assess rents in different cities? For short term rentals we used airbnb and vrbo. We'd look up comps and then check the prices and availability of those comps. So far for long term we're using Craigslist and the "for rent" feature on zillow and realtor.com.

Are there any better tools that y'all are using ?
