Knowing how to run comps is what separates the good from the great in the realm of real estate investing. As soon as you’re able to accurately valuate a piece of property, you become indispensable to any investor, wholesaler, flipper, or realtor in your area. And, if your operating as a sole investor, knowing how to run comps better than the rest will be what allows you to get deals that others overlook.

It’s no surprise that Jamil Damji has grown the largest real estate wholesale network in the nation. He’s a comping expert, which is what allowed him to get there. Over the years, he’s wholesaled and flipped hundreds of properties, giving him the knowledge to know what is and isn’t worth it in an appraiser's eye. To this day, Jamil still follows the “eight appraisal rules” that allow anyone, regardless of experience, to correctly comp, value, and estimate a property’s true price.

Do you use any of these rules when you comp real estate? Or, do you use another type of system to find out how much a property is worth? Let us know in the comments below!
