Regarding bear: there was a case last summer of a fishing guide in AK who got charged in dense brush by a Grizz and was able to stop it with a few rounds from a pocket 9 using +P, point blank so its possible although not recommended (12 gauge with slugs, 30.06, .454 etc would be better obviously, but a .9 in the pocket is better than a bazooka in the truck). 

more points to add... once you get in the middle of a claim for yourself you will gain experience that IS very valuable for anyone with property (experience probably worth more than the10-20% your PA will take along with your chance to learn) .  

Those comps may feel like poor properties to compare to but they are valuable data points.The regression line will answer exactly what the extra 100 sq ft or bedroom is worth!
