My questions stems from wanting to take out a 2nd mortgage to build an ADU now while rates or high or keep waiting until rates drop.

Comps may seem to support a certain rent or price, (high or low) but it may be pulling data from an adjacent neighborhood that's much different.Plenty to choose from here - good cash flows in the lower priced properties, but an awareness that it comes with less appreciation and rent growth potential.

House hack/rent by the room is best with a high bedroom and bathroom count.

The photo from the tree guy was his trailer full of branches about 20' long and 4' high.

Hi Ben,Is this a low or high rise condo?  

I take issue with the comps due to the quality of the properties selected (mine is fully updated while theirs was not) and one of the properties is now an accountants office.

Kitchen aesthetics: A lot of the things you listed (stainless steel, backsplash, etc) would still be highly desired in a closed off kitchen for most buyers.
