How useful is Zillow for finding a good investment property?

[Tara Mansouri]

Hello,

I am extremely new to all of this and was wondering how effective zillow is in finding up-to-date properties.  It is such a simple, user-friendly app on my iphone but I wonder if it may be a little out of date with some of the listings?  Has anyone ever found and successfully purchased a property that they found on zillow?  I probably spend too much time on this app- but, it's a great app that motivates me to continue looking at properties...just curious on your thoughts.  Thank you.
