I'm my opinion they are both good HML providers, LendingHome was good to me and worked with me when I had no experience so that was a plus on the flip side (no pun intended), Renvo is top notch, I can reach out to Eric Workman, the  VP of lending, anytime as I have his cell phone and he typically gets back to me right away whether its text, phone call or email.

I'm planning to build one of the preapproved ADU plans provided by the city of Sacramento in my backyard (using a an owner-build permit).

Just wanting to provide the best value I can to my PMLs Appreciate any and all advice-Thank You!
