What website do you use to determine rent?
In a neighborhood that you know very little about, what website do you use to set a rent?
How helpful is it?

Craigslist/Zillow. Comps comps comps. I exclude any ads without pictures in my analysis.
I look at each comp and impartially assess how it measures up to mine: parking, amenities, micro neighborhood, utilities incl., pet policy, etc.
After that, I have a pretty good idea of what I should ask for mine relative to the others. This has always served me well.
