@Michael Haas I work in South Lake Union and my husband works in Bothell. We are open to any location north of 520 (either Seattle or East) for the purpose of having a decent commute for my husband. I work in healthcare (software) so I hope to be able to work remote for majority of the week in the future.

Renton and Tacoma would've been a really great fit for us if we could make the commute work. I will keep Everett in mind. Currently the goal is to get something close to the train line so Lynnwood is about as far as we would hope to be.

Thank you so much for the response, I really do appreciate it.

Thank you for the response @Dave Skow,  we will ensure we are pre-approved as opposed to pre-qualified.

Thank you @Kyle Wells for the response.

We are currently looking to purchasing our first home in the Greater Seattle area. There are two strategies we are considering - 1) Zoned duplex/triplex 2) Single Family Home with Mother-in-law suite. With option 1), cashflow may be greater but appreciation will be lower, for 2) appreciation may be higher even though cashflow is lower. Which of the two is a better strategy in this market for building long term wealth?

Congratulations on getting the ball rolling Eric! My husband and I are looking to do a house hack in the Seattle area (we are new to the area) - I am following your thread to learn the answers to your questions.
