How to determine ARV
Hey guys,
I was wondering how someone can determine the after repair value of home. I know most people say that they look up the sold comps on the MLS for similar properties. What if you are a beginning investor like me and don't have access to the MLS?
Thanks

You can find sold listings on Trulia.com and zillow.com to compare with. Just keep an eye on the dates of the sale, and make sure you are using actual sales numbers, as apposed to zestimates.
I found I was pretty accurate this way prior to getting MLS access.
