Comps

General Real Estate Investing

Hello:

I am new here and still have to learn a lot.

My question this afternoon is:

What is the best way to get good and useful comps?

Do I beg one of my realtor friends to constantly pull up comps for me or is there a way that I have access to comps myself since I have internet access more or less around-the-clock?

Thanks for your replies.

Ideally you’ll want to arrange MLS access through either a newbie realtor (offer to pay his dues) or through your title company (after they see you as a source of repeat business). Free resources:

County Clerk’s online (if you have an idea of property tax rates, you can triangulate a rough estimate of value.
Not comprehensive by any means, but they’re free.
