What I have seen most Loan Officers do is split marketing costs, but you can't pay more since that could also be considered a kickback.I have also seen companies have realtor's get licensed as an MLO while they handle most of the transaction for them and pay them a cut since they will be the MLO and Realtor on the loan. 

One consideration is to always check the Clue report with your insurance agent during the option period to see insurance costs and potential coverage and past claims.  

@Audrey BlotzYou might call a title company to see if they have any thoughts about searching property records for homes w/ ADUs.

Let me know if you want a connection to the company who recently built a pool at one of my STRs, JAM Pools.

If you can become friends with someone with a license who looks at dumps, they would love company on some of those trips and a potential client as you learn.

I run a PM company in central CT.  

I have a single family home that I've been trying to find a Property Management company to work with and I can't believe how difficult it has been.

I'm soon to be leasing the PA farmland to a solar company on a long-term lease (more yearly than my W2 job, and 3% escalator, compounding).With such an advantageous situation in PA, I want to be able to maximize my potential.

All of the meetings that I see about ADUs are sponsored by builders who want to sell their ADUs.Are there others who want to build their own or want to share their experiences about building ADUs / converting outbuilding / navigating codes in Portland that DO NOT involve hiring one of these tiny house start-up companies?

Ideally before you purchase your realtor/lender will provide you with a property management company who is willing to provide resources, leases, and whatever you need to get house hacking.
