How to convince company to get a Costar or RCA membership?

Being an analyst and being tasked to find market data without either of these services is frustrating and a waste of precious time. How can I convince the MD that it is worth getting memberships even if they are pricey?

"Waste of precious time" to who?  You may feel like it's a waste of your time, but your principals may feel that having you run down that info is cheaper than the CoStar subscription.  Really depends on the perspective....
