What is the best way to determine ARV without a realtors help

[Ricky Hopp]

Hi all. I am using the BiggerPockets Rental Return tool and wanted to determine the After Repair Value of a 2 BD/1 BA 990 sq ft apt in Jersey City, NJ and had difficulty figuring out a good estimate for this value. Does anyone have tips as to the best way to come up with the ARV? I know that researching comps is important, but is there a way to do this without having to call up my realtor? I'd love to hear your strategies.

Thanks!

Ricky
