I have been given a few names: Equity Trust, Pacific Premier Bank, Midland Trust, Entrust Group, but I am not sure who to go with. 

From my earlier post, people told me the best way to learn is to find a mentor and do some deals with them.

I am sure vast majority of people on BP and life donot want to pay what they donot owe. 

Quote from @Nathan Gesner: Quote from @David Butler: Not suggesting that it isn't illegal (to each their own)--sure sounded questionably moral in listening to the episode. 

People all have different buy box criteria and it's good to learn about as many as you can but then really hone in on really specific criteria for your first (or next) deal. 

I can't wait to purchase our first investment property as I know that is when we will really start learning how it all works. 

Make sure you know the value the ADU will add to the property before building the ADU. 2) the financing on an ADU is typically far worse than for initial investment property acquisition or is often not leveraged (HELOC, cash out refi, etc).

Would love to learn from you all experts here and contribute in the discussion as well.

I'm eager to learn more and connect with fellow investors.

Most first-time investors shop blindly and end up learning the hard way..Also make sure to present the deal clearly to the lender.
