Washington State? SFH+ADU

I've been think about moving out of state to begin real estate investing journey. Mainly because my area is too expensive. Been thinking about Washington state around Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, or maybe somewhere along the outskirts of these cities. I would most likely be purchasing an SFH and would think about adding an ADU, or converting the garage into a livable area in order to rent out the main house. Would appreciate some input, thoughts, and tips! Or if anyone has some suggestions on what to look out for in this market that'd be great.

@Joas Espinoza, having an ADU is a form of house hack and is a great way to start your Real Estate journey.

What we typically do is finishing a basement or a garage then rent them out to offset the mortgage payment.

I did ADUs conversions and will be happy to chat more about that.
