Rental Housing Search Engine

Have you seen this new search engine for rental houses?  There's finally a single place for rental hunters to search when looking for a new apartment or rental house. RentJungle.com pulls contents from the listings of thousands of other websites-7,219 sites and growing-and allows searchers to conveniently search one location. And for those investors with rental properties, if you're rentals are not already listed at sites that Rent Jungle pulls from, you can pay a small monthly fee to have your properties included on the site.

A spokesperson for the company claims Rent Jungle is capturing more than 80% of the rental listings on the Internet.

Visitors simply go to the site, put in a city and any optional specifics (like number of bedrooms or whether you need to have a pet-friendly rental) and the site will not only find the properties, but it will show them on a detailed Google map. That way, you can see if it's close to a major landmark or Interstate. Searchers can further narrow the results by sliding the bar up or down for rent cost on the left. A single click and site visitors are being taken directly to more information and photos of the property.

Agents and investors, check out the site and leave your comments here on your thoughts about the site!

Does it include Section 8 homes as well?  I get that question from sign calls and can only refer them to www.gosection8.com.

Looks like an interesting site. I will play with it a bit. Could be good to have as a reference to give to folks looking for rentals in my area.
