How to run Comps for free.

[Mowafak Fagiri]

I just turned 18 and I'm trying to flip my first house, and I have one problem and that's running comps. I was wondering if anyone knows the cheapest and most effective way to run comps? 

Thank You

I would look at comps of recently sold property on Zillow and Realtor. Some criteria that are important for a good comp are that they are within 6 months, year built within the decade, within 20% of the living sq ft, same bed/bath, within the same subdivision/1 mile of property, and similarity in large features like a pool or new roof. I would pull some active listings to get a feel for the market trend as well but don't lean on that information with much weight. 

Let me know if you need any help or have any questions
