I have a free training on my YouTube channel that teaches you how to create a comp set and review the competition in your market so that you can make an intelligent decision on whether or not to move forward.

Both strategies offer valuable lessons, but the last thing you want is for a beginner to overleverage themselves and take on more than they can handle.

I feel like every project has its curveballs, and sometimes it’s the unexpected stuff that teaches us the most.

That is a very valuable lesson! 

The ADU just takes up valuable backyard space. 

Personally I could not justify investing $11k in a course that teaches you to rent a property then turn around and rent it to others. 

It’s more of a solution for owners who need liquidity but don’t want to sell their property outright, interacting with  advisers, agents, and other related people that are expensive and may be hard to connect with, or take on additional debt, including such debt like loans from banks and offline interactions, which require valuable time.

Not to mention, these agents provide incredible valuable by providing me real time market intel on buyers tendencies, want's and needs which is important, especially when you are developing for-sale housing.

•Are there any specific features or data points in these apps that you find most valuable?

Using your $100K example, the 6% seller assist is far more valuable to this buyer than merely reducing the purchase price by $6K because the 6% seller assist is a $6,000 reduction in funds required to close whereas reducing the purchase price by $6K equates to less than a $200 savings (2.5% down payment + some incidentals).
