I'm just curious as to what other Investors use to calculate the ARV or FMV when you have trouble finding COMPS (this is assuming that your NOT using a Realtor), See I normally will use websites like Zillow and RealEstate ABC.com to pull COMPS, But their are times when they are No HELP, Because of lack of Information and I'm NOT currently working with a Realtor, So that option is out of the Picture and YES I know that you can go check the Counties web site (Assessed Value) But, That too is usless a lot of times, Due to lack of proper Updating.

i'm especially interested in meeting solid turn-key folks who specialize in working with out-of-towners.... definitely PM me if this is your business....aside from all that, i'm in my 30s and work as a software engineer (web, databases, etc) for a small interactive company here in new york city.
