I'm interested in buying properties to rehab and rent in Kansas City. Where can I find good comps, other than a real estate agent, Zillow, Redfin, Trulia and Realtor.com?
Is there a county source or other free website to find comps? I looked on the Jackson County Property Search page, but I was not able to find information on recently sold properties.

An agent that can pull local comps is your best bet as Caleb says. That or Zillow.

I would go with an agent also. Of course, you may have to give him the opportunity to make money.
Nothing against ZIllow, Redfin, etc. but they are highly automated and just go for ZIPcode, price, sqft. They do not account for places with/without view, near to a school, in good/bad shape, etc.

@Charlie J. Bendana- You should cross-check any comps an agent gives you by pulling comps from a title agency. First American Title offers a service called MyFirstAm which gives you free comps. Just remember to use them for your title insurance when you close on a property so you can keep the service.
I don't work for, or receive any compensation from First American.

@Charlie J. Bendana Zillow, Redfin, Trulia and Realtor.com are not good comps. They are merely automated estimates and are often way off. If you want real comps, you need an agent.
