Running Comps Without MLS

[Spencer Krautkramer]

How do people run numbers to compare properties in a neighborhood without MLS access if you're not an agent? I'm looking to buy my first deal (house hack) and I am looking in a specific market and want to study past sales and do an in depth comparison and analysis. That way when I'm looking at a property on the market, I can run a comparison to see how it sits in comparison with other similar properties that have sold in a close proximity. My agent is super helpful with this for me, but I'm curious what people do themselves without the MLS. Any advice is welcome
