You've got a few things going on here.If "there aren't comparable properties within the radius they're willing to search", then you've got a property that is unique and virtually no lender wants to lend on a unique property.The reason they're only using comparable sales is because the broker/lender is selling to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and that's all they'll buy.

I work with a lot of BP Members and I'm an investor myself, so I see things from a unique perspective. 

Plus, extremely minimalistic furniture (inflatable bed, foldable chair, foldable table).
