My tips: Don't ever, ever rent a place with baseboard heaters. Those things cost a shitload in electricity. If you live in a hot, humid climate, you probably don't want a place without AC unless you absolutely can't afford it. You will be really miserable really fast. Whatever you think you're going to spend on rent and utilities per month, add at least $100. It's never as cheap as you think it's going to be.

Another thought for searching for places that are not corporate/managed-type places is to see if there's a google group for the area you are looking. For instance, I live in Nashville, which is obviously much smaller than Seattle, and I wanted to move to the East side. I looked up listservs on Google and voila. East Nashville listserv exists and is hugely active. I'm now happily situated in a great place with an awesome landlord who only had the listing on the google groups listserv. Worth a try, for sure. Another idea is to look at the more local, "hip" real estate companies. Lots of times they have agents who work in rentals. MLS sites often have rental properties too.
