What education, credentials, and/or experience does one need to perform market analysis?
Thanks

You do need access to a good database where you can get appropriate info about the market as well as a good understanding of it. I would say residential is easier because there are plenty of sources with very reliable information than commercial properties. So, in other words it is a matter of having good data and knowing how to read it in order to be able to do a decent forecast.
