Tired of brokers, owner's demands, fake listings, while searching for a flat in Bangalore

Omg, finding an apartment in Bengaluru that is decently priced and nice apartment is so exhausting. It's literally like a full time job. me and my boyfriend spend countless hours scrolling through different sites, talking to brokers, getting ghosted.

The whole apartment hunting scenario is infuriating. I am so exhausted doing this and having a full time job.

I would appreciate any tip to making my life easier in this process. Or any red flags I should be looking out for.
