I can include before pictures if anyone wants to see those, but they would be identical, just a different piece of tape.

The theft creates enormous bad faith.

Am I able to use comps for the unit I've occupied or if it's identical to the other side, use that number? 

It's expected and not usually penalized unless a competing offer of identical price has none. 

The bankruptcies, squatters, theft, etc are all irrelevant.  

@Chad Demoss: besides having to secure vacant properties against theft of furnace, HWH, copper and more, you also have to deal with a low-demographic tenant pool where  "pride in home" has been dis proportionally sucked out of them by the "system".

@Matt M.Hopefully they get me confused with the singer and steal his identity first.I agree, I still have family there too so if I ever wanted to go back it’s always an option.

Plenty of car theft.

All of this provides the public with more protection against major theft or loss of funds.

I contemplated the idea of just changing the design concept to have it be attached to the main home, but even in that scenario, the explicit CCR's against even renting one room seemed too controlling to be sane, considering that if this worked as we wanted, there were like 200 other nearly identical situations with lots with homes in that neighborhood that we would have just wanted to rinse and repeat that strategy.
