I was browsing Zillow with my wife, going through some ugly homes.

I have been browsing the site for a while now.

You can now browse through some of the most cutting-edge real estate technology startups, take a peak at the link below: List of Y Combinator Real Estate StartupsY Combinator is probably one of the more well known early-stage VC's based in Silicon Valley and they've invested in many different real estate technology startups.Some notable mentions:https://www.openlistings.co/ (transact real estate w/o an agent)www.shittylistings.com (data-driven list of distressed properties)https://www.statwing.com/ (advanced real estate data analysis made easy)http://www.rentobo.com/ (free online rental management)--What real estate startups are you currently watching and where do you forsee opportunity to combine tech with real estate?

I have been browsing trulia, realtor, and zillow for a few weeks.

I echo what everyone else has said - it all depends on what your competition has to offer.You're right - they need some work, but how much "depends".I'd start by browsing craigslist, zillow, trulia, hotpads, apartments.com and whatever rental site I may have left out for comps similar to your size of home, rent range # of baths/bedrooms and see what they have to offer.  

I found one while browsing the net.

After going to a few local real estate meetings and browsing bp i have now decided to get into wholesaling.
