Are "Zillow's" Rent Estimates Inflated or Padded?!?!

[Daniel F. Harb]

Question: Are you finding when you check the rental estimate on "Zillow" that they are over the actual estimate? Whether checking, California, Indiana, Kentucky, or anywhere, USA, are you seeming to find the estimate "Off"? I have found out about actual rents from "Boots on the Ground" and it seems more often than not, the rents are estimated as higher. Sometimes way higher.

Not good when doing a property analysis and it is critical to get an "Actual" rent value.

Have you found this? What are your thoughts?

Thank you in advance!
