How do i determine ARV?

[Anssi Viljanen]

Hello community,

How do I determine ARV? I know it is based on comps. Is there a way to get comps without MLS access? It also seems to me that my RE agent sends me comps that are really not very useful: comparison to 10yr older sale, different # of rooms, different zip code sometimes, different decade of construction

Now this is LA where areas have been developed in multiple times so i dont know if LA comps are different in that sense?

All help appreciated!
