You can use public records to see what other investors have paid for homes prior to fixing up and what the property sold for after renovations were done for fix and flips.

I am trying to find sold price history for properties in Houston, TX and I can find some of them on Redfin.com but sometimes they won't have the information. Are there other sites online where they may show this?
