Investment strategies in the greater Seattle area

[Hon Ching Lai]

If you have $400k cash, and a all paid off $800k Single family home. How would you invest those money?

[Amit Saini]

Depends on your investment goals/objectives, risk appetite & whether you wish to be active/passive. You can do a lot with $400k and build a diversified portfolio - options range from SFR, MFR, flipping with value-add, buying land and developing, going out-of-state, to commercial syndicates on the other end of the spectrum.
If no prior expertise in real estate, then stick to simple - SFR w/ value-add (in your home market or out of state) & commercial syndicates, gain experience & knowledge and chart your path forward. 

All the best!
