Where do renters look for their homes?

[Darren Dennis]

I'm still looking to start investing and as i look for properties, I started wondering something...  Where do renters look for their homes?  I looked on zillow and found a few places but i'm sure i'm missing something.  I know that in NYC, a lot of traffic goes through streeteasy, but lets say you're looking for something on Long Island, the Hudson valley, etc?  Are people looking through agents?  The last time I rented was over 14 yrs ago and I just happened to walk into a rental complex and asked what they had available.  I'm trying to both find a place to list my future rental and to find a place to look at comps so I don't find myself overpricing or getting into a place where the math won't make sense.
