There are different websides, offering flats / appartments / houses to have a look, as well in local newspapers. But the best way is having connections. And never pay in advance! An option is, to ask a real estate agent with good connections, but then you have to pay the agent.
You only have to share, if you apply for a room in a WG (shared flat). But this is always mentoned, as usually those people living in the WG search for a new member in their WG. If this is not mentioned like "one room in a WG of three" (ein Zimmer in einer Dreier-WG) the ad will be for a whole flat / appartment / house.
If there is a landlord, this will get to know you. At least you will have a video call, if not a visit to see the flat in person. And any payment will be done on a German bank account. No one uses foreign banks, paypall, wire or things like that as a proper landlord.
