Post: How to analyze comps

Hello, I'm new and going to be starting out with Real Estate Investing after I retire from the Marine Corps in a few months. I've been doing alot of homework and listening to podcasts but one thing I've not been able to determine yet is how you guys are analyzing your comps. What makes a house a comparable house to yours, and how do you find them? Is there a tool out there somewhere that allows you to see these, or do you have to have access to the MLS?

Maybe I'm way overthinking this and it's as simple as finding the same style home with same bedrooms/bathrooms and figuring out the square footage.  I'd be relieved if that were the case!

Thanks!

Darren

Hello everyone!  My name is Darren, and I'm currently serving on active duty in the United States Marine Corps.  I'll be returning to Indiana this summer and will be starting my own business flipping single family houses in the Hamilton and Hancock county areas.

I've been listening to Bigger Pockets podcasts for a little while now, and am grateful for the lessons learned through that.  I would welcome any and all advice or networking that I can be exposed to here in the Bigger Pockets world.  Thanks for working with me!
