I like watching these shows because they are fun - and sometimes they actually give useful information but that is sort of rare. But for real estate entertainment, they are pretty good.

They sort of remind me of a glitzed up version of This Old House. That show had its share of horror stories too - about projects going way over budget, the experts leaving the projects incomplete because shooting was over and many other disasters.

It is interesting though that this past Saturday - June 30 - Armando showed a few of his projects that didn't work out as planned and he told what he is doing with them. So maybe A&E is starting to react to the heat and trying to make the show more true by occasionally showing that the world isn't always all rosy and perfect?

Reliable free comps seems to be problematic. I've tried zillow in my area and the comps are worthless because although I can see prices of properties sold, I don't know their size or anything else about the property.

Maybe some areas are better but about all I can get from zillow for my area is an idea of how active a neighborhood is - which is good info but far from being useful for comps.

I know the MLS in my area has good comp info but I've yet to find any free or paid service that I as an investor can subscribe to for quick and useful comps.

If anyone has any suggestions other than zillow, I'd love to hear them.
