Wrote a thorough review which inspired guesty to refund the 1k+ 'onboarding fee', and they had to beg me to take my money back and remove the review, then they tried to take a % of all my future sales that had ever been listed on their platform... had to repeat the process, got that money back, and never removed the purely honest but devastating review on them.Then I found smart BNB, automated nearly 90% of my communications, including upcharges for pets and early checkins... just about everything... their software is a dream for STRs.   

To this day 2 years later, I have never heard another peep from KW.In the onboarding, they pushed HARD for me to attend their "Ignite" program, which turned out to be a full day sales pitch for their $800 "Bold" training program. 

If you will need an Architect to file for the ADU anyway, then I would get one onboard when you’re ready to start.

The sad/funny part is, every so often somebody puts out a post just like this and everybody jumps on board and the OP actually gets responses...

It included some extras like on-boarding witch is basically the data entry.

The best option is to locate a private lender, take them to lunch and detail your experience of what you've done and what you plan to do, and see if you can get them on board to fund your deals.

Your wife is obviously not completely on board with your investment plans for your futures.
