Id rather have an AI that can filter out the bullshit scams and actually find me something thats not wasting my time.

Ive been tryin to move out of this place for like 2 years, free time is a factor, but the other half is that every other listing i find is either a scam, seems like a scam, or the rent is so absurdly high for an area it doesnt make sense to be.

Scam listings are the worst. I work at https://stream.estate (we're trying to solve this with data analysis), but honestly even with all our filters, your gut is still the best scam detector. The easy tells: price way below market, stock photos, vague addresses, or pushy requests for money before viewing.

Thanks, that’s a really great idea, I’ve noted it down. You’re absolutely right. Filtering out fake listings or negative landlord/seller histories can save a lot of time, money, and nerves.
