Help needed finding investment property in Seattle

[Peter Yang]

We live in California and are looking to purchase an investment property in Seattle. We're originally from the area so are somewhat familiar with the city.

I know the Seattle area market there is getting ridiculous but it seems like there's still a lot of upside in property values due to tech and foreign investors. Do folks have thoughts on any of the following:

1. What are some up and coming areas in Seattle that are within commute distance to Amazon / tech companies? (e.g. Beacon Hill?)
2. I heard the Seattle city laws are bad for landlords - has anyone had any personal experience?
3. Any recommendations for experienced agents for investors (or if you're an agent), would love to chat.

Thank you guys in advance!
