Hey Jackie, my partner in builds them in the greater LA area and has clients he can likely connect you to to share their experiences with ADU builds on single family lots.What I will say is that, per the math investing around $200,000 in an ADU that is around 450sqft 1Bed 1.5 bath can rent close to $1800+ in the area.

I have an opportunity to JV with a company that has identified properties and will fix/flip. They are looking for investors.  I want to make sure I will not get scammed out of my money (has happened before). How can I...

But by putting it into a broadly diversified index fund like others have mentioned, you'll get the higher "expected" returns of the stock market.  

As an out of state investor, I would love to connect and potentially have a property manager in my team that experience in Section 8 rental. 

Sometimes you can find firsthand experiences that don't show up immediately in basic searches.3.

I've done some negotiation with the seller already and we've agreed on the broad terms of the deal.

(b) Is it okay to talk to multiple realtors at the same time (I'm thinking it would be better to have a separate realtor with lots of market knowledge and experience in each of the mentioned locations) or should I only plan to use one?

Does anyone have experience?

I’m looking to hear from anyone with recent experience with either laundry platform, and why they went with whichever platform.

It would just need to be a situation where they have great contact with the person doing that managing of the project (I.e. have known the person for years, great reputation, person has experience in flipping etc.).
