Advantages: You can see the house you are satisfied with in advance, and you can also see different places in your home, which is very convenient.
Method 2: Find an intermediary where you want to live, and find a formal and legal intermediary. Like I love my family or something. What I want to say here is, don't resist the intermediary too much. After all, many good houses are in the intermediary. Some landlords can't use the internet, or they are busy, so they can only entrust them to intermediaries. Then tell the agent your requirements and I'll show you the house.
Advantages: you don't need to spend time looking for a house, you can find an intermediary with your luggage and you can move in soon.
Follow-up contracts and so on, if you don't understand. It's best to call a friend who has rented a house.
Good luck finding the house you want.
