Pulling Comparables - Systems to Use

[Clayton Natho]

I'm in the process of developing my business plan for the purpose of finding and acquiring buy and hold single family (possibly multi family), for the purposes of building a passive income stream in and around Houston, TX.  

One of the things I'm currently try to figure out is how to pull good comps when I'm looking at deals and what it will be worth.  

Currently I'm taking a hard look at:

Real Acquisitions - www.realaquisitions.com

I also saw through internet searches a website called propelio.com

Is there any other websites or any other tool that anyone has found to be a good tool or resource, especially specific to the Houston area?

Any and all comments welcome!

@Clayton Natho  The Zillow guesstimates will be way off in most areas of Houston. Redfin and others will have the same results, so don't count on them for much. Best is to find a Realtor to help and get to absolutely know an area. I invest in the NW Houston area and would not feel comfortable buying outside this area. If I did, I would have to completely trust the Realtor. No offence to Realtors, but there are a few out there who don't know their area as well as they should because either they are too new, or looking at it from a different perspective than I would. You have to work with the person for some time to build the trust.
