Unlike the other lenders, Figure.com does automatic appraisal (without a human involved) based on public data and they treat ADU square footage the same as the main house square footage.

I used JR French with 360 contractor services for some crawl space work in Charlotte, I would call him and ask if he does work in your area because I know he covers a large territory and he’s always treated me right.

@Avery Rustad I like to stay away from having tenants doing repairs, but if you’re treating it like an external transaction, then I don’t see anything wrong with that.Just make sure he’s as qualified as any other painter you would use to do the work.

They generally treat the properties well, pay timely, and stay for a spell.

If it was me, I would not be inclined to accept someone just typing in their name and treating it as a signature, if that’s what you are describing.
