Best Websites for Finding SOLD Data on Multifamily properties?
My second week on the job. Being asked to find Sold comparables for large multi-family property in Texas. (large as in 100+ units) This is the first time I've been asked to do this.

I'm finding plenty of sites that show active sales, like [Realtor.com](https://realtor.com/). Co-Star is the only source given to me by the boss for Sold Data. Ten-X doesn't have enough data. (none in the area I'm looking) Are there are others? Noticed Redfin and The MLS don't have large scale multifamily properties of this type. My job, or certainly my first impression, might depend on how well I do this. :(

So help MASSIVELY appreciate!! (what can i do to thank people?)

I suggest searching for \"Dallas Multifamily Market Reports\"... check CBRE, Marcus &amp; Millichap, JLL, Cushman Wakefield, etc... all the big names. They will have quarterly reports on the largest markets and you can sometimes find select sale prices reported in those, though I wouldn't expect to find just a whole lot. [A&amp;M Recon](http://recenter.tamu.edu/) is also a good source of information, but you'll be clicking through multiple links to find a handful of sale prices.   Tip: mouse over 'Research' at the top of the page, click on  'Market Research' and select whatever MSA you want. From there you can select on what market segment... [This is what Austin's Multifamily page looks like](https://www.recenter.tamu.edu/research/market-research/#!/Austin-Round_Rock/Multifamily).  \n  \nFeel free to PM me some more specific details. I may have some information that I could share.  \n  \nHowever, if you actually have access to CoStar then there's no other source worth spending time on. Though you will find that most comp pages won't have sale prices on them. You're move at that point is to call the brokers listed and ask if they're willing to share.  Expect to fail more than you succeed in this endeavor. ", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "eb8zn1q", "text": "Find a Multifamily appraiser at one of the big firms and take them out to lunch.
