Or more accurately, I see what comps are going for and I can't believe the numbers I'm seeing, and have a hard time using those numbers in our calculations. But apparently, if they are accurate I am under-calculating our net worth by $400k-$500k

Net worth is $2.6 and about $1M of that is our home equity.
About 38%
Depends on age. You must be quote young. As you get older, RE will become a lower percentage of your overall NW.
Not necessarily. As we paid off our mortgage RE became a more significant part of our NW, and when we bought a second (non investment) house it jumped again. So while our cash/investments has increased, so has our home equity.
That's a choice you made. The second home is an investment, not 'home equity'.
