Normally I would agree but if we are renting out the main house I don't want them paying for the ADU. 

I tend to agree with that philosophy. 

I agree with you 100% about the rent-to-price ratio in the areas you mentioned. 

It was $100 a year and I was not required to join the MLS.To earn a commission you have to be a member of the MLS unless the agent agrees in writing to pay you a compensation before the showing. 

Agree - if you are not afraid of reno then the approach might be different. 

Keep that in mind:)Regarding partnering, have tried it several times and most times it ends with a split.So, if you go forward with partnership, recommend making sure you both agree in writing, on how a split would work.Otherwise, you an both share everything you leanr and help each other out monetarily as needed.

Great comparative info on some of the better markets around the country right now.Cheers!

I agree with calling the city/county and finding out directly from them. 

I agree with @Melanie P.

PayPal is the only commonly used app in this country that handles transfers between countries and it is quite expensive.I've chosen wise.com for my international exchanges.
