Driving for Dollars help!

[Tristin Lysogorski]

So I'm an aspiring fix-n-flipper out here in NEPA. Because I'm new and don't have a whole lot of capital, I've been driving for dollars to try and locate deals. My question is: once I find a deal, how do I know how much to offer on the property? Normally, the best way to find the value of a property would be to use comps from the MLS correct? Well, as I'm not licensed, how would I be able to obtain comps? I assume working with an agent wouldn't make sense because the seller usually looks to avoid agents because it costs them extra money.
