After countless thoughts, I felt compelled to take action, hence my post here.I don't really have a specific question; I learn best by doing.

Specifically, I'm wondering:Does the person responsible for finding the house and buyer need to be explicitly mentioned in any of the closing documents?

Did you have a specific question here?

I wouldn't be the owner since my parents own the home and the lot that it sits on.That being said, is there any chance that I could still get tax deductions for building this ADU?

I will throw in one more way of thinking, invest in an area that does not appreciate much and does not usually depreciate much, has little cash flow but helps with tax deductions and equity increase, by making enough that all expenses are paid by the tenants. this type of investing is for Estate investing, it is for the family, not for current use of cash flow. by the time you pass your kids will be in a good financial position when they inherit and sell the properties, and not have to pay taxes on the inherited income, due to the increase in basis. 

"it's been a great cash flowing rental" because it needed these improvements - deduct them from what you've made already, not what you're going to make.is this your only investment property?

I am looking specifically for someone who is excellent at carefully monitoring and toggling pricing with the goal of keeping the Unit as occupied as is possible.I do have access to a few excellent cleaning crews and so I can take that on, but am also open to full service companies who have cleaning in house.I will also consider "small footprint" operations with good references and proven expertise.Thank you,John

It’s probably useful to ask specific people what their experience has been and go from there. 

They'll be able to take the property information and get policy quotes from a few different companies so you can compare what is included in the coverage, the liability coverage, deductible, and monthly premium. 

Are property tax and insurance deductions included within their study?
