Is this is Ok? Looking to rent but sick of the scams

Hey there, 

I don't know if this is really the place, but the usual sites are untrustworthy...

My husband and I are looking to rent in the Tampa, Orlando, Port Canaveral / Central Florida area. We've seen a huge amount of houses and the frequency of scammers is about 4 out of 5 so far... We are irritated and exhausted and just want to talk to someone trustworthy.

Does anyone here have or know of someone with a 3-4 bed, 2 bath single-family property for rent starting in September? We have a perfect rent history since 2021, prior to that we actually owned.

Alternatively, does anyone know any reliable methods for finding rental homes (as a renter) that isn't 80% scammers? We're losing our minds, it feels like nothing is real anymore!

Thanks for the help! Once this insanity blows over, I'm excited to join you as investors some day 🥺
