@Joseph Grullon this sounds like a "lease to own" or "Lease Option" transaction. 

That said, getting your license or performing the transaction without violating licensing laws is certainly the way to go.

But again, we have no idea what kind of transaction this is. 

I guess it all depends on what kind of RE transaction you are doing.

That leaves us with remote investors - people who invest in real estate across state or national borders without actually living in the area. 

Real estate is very much an interpersonal transaction.

Scrolling through a bank statement knowing that all transactions are for your business beats scrolling though all of he personal transactions and having to decipher the business ones.

It's easy to search on Redfin/Zillow with the keyword "ADU" now.I found some recent transactions data (almost all from second quarter of 2021) in the bay area that might be of interest to you: https://www.redfin.com/CA/Camp...https://www.redfin.com/CA/San-...https://www.redfin.com/CA/Sant...https://www.redfin.com/CA/Sunn...https://www.redfin.com/CA/Sant...https://www.redfin.com/CA/San-...You can see that in all of these cases (whether with detached or attached ADUs), ADU added more value than the estimated construction cost, which shows that building an ADU can be a proven strategy for bay area home owners to not only improve cash flow, but also immediately add equity value.

Dot the I’s and cross the T’s.Best of luck!
