NO MLS Access

[Christina Thompson]

Hello,

I'm a newbie and I'm looking to wholesale! I have found some properties on craigslist and I need comparables. I really want to get accurate comparables but I don't have MLS access. Please help! What are other avenues that I can take?

@Christina Thompson Talk to local real estate agents, they are the experts of the area. The should know ARV of these houses. They could help you with comps etc. I think that's the best way. In return you give themshort sale, retail leads that come your way.

Presumably you will be working with an agent when you go to resell the property, this person should have a good idea of the arv and no problem pulling some comps.

If not you should start to interview a few in your area. Ask other investors for recomendations at reia's and there should be plenty of agents. Just try to get a Production Record from the last year or two if someone tells you they are a top performer

After doing this a few times you should have a good idea of values in the market you are investing in.
