I used Facebook marketplace, Zillow, and apartments.com along with Craigslist. The only annoying thing is that there are some scams out there, so beware. If they ask you to sign up for a specific credit check, nine times out of 10 it’s a scammer. Also if the price seems too good to be true, it most likely is. I’ve heard of some people transferring thousands of dollars in a security deposit just to be blocked or never hear from this person again.

Yes. Also if you haven't moved in a while be aware of new market rents to avoid scams. A 1200 2 bedroom a few years ago would have been normal, but now even a 1600 2 bedroom should be analyzed carefully.
