Creating Comps for properties in Hillsborough FL

[William Howley]

Hi, I am a local investor in Tampa, Florida. I was just wondering what other people are doing to do their comparables research. 

Are they relying on a real estate agent? 

Do I need MLS access to do them myself?

Is there an automatic tool or service out there that is somewhat accurate? 

Just wondering if anyone has any strategies to quickly and easily produce comps for a multitude of properties. 

Thanks.
