If you had a medium size commercial property and you are doing massive amounts of work then I could see the need for all of that but otherwise...forget it.

You'll need comps that are sold as close to you as possible, as recently as possible and similar in size, style and features as possible.Good luck!

If you position size properly, RE and stock market can work for you.

Maybe 25 to 50 basis points or so on medium size properties in the 3 to 5 million range.

@Justin K. the insurance I have on the two rentals I own in the same area, adjusted for size.

Here's hoping that this is the most volatility we'll see for the rest of the year, but something tells me all bets are off.

But again not predicting it but there is the thought process that ( and or good reason) that these are loans that once taken are good until you sell the property etc.. the bank is not going to advertise this fact. you need to read it in the docs and I bet most of the MLO's at the credit unions don't even know what the docs say.. :)

Given that the only ways to lose money in this industry are bad investments and lawsuits, I’m not willing to bet my portfolio that I’ll be in the lucky 10% of people who never have problems. 

As for the best sellers it is difficult to tell because you will likely have a small sample size, my guess is that it will be people who want to move to a new city or state and are on a time crunch to do so.

What size of land?
