Yep, this has been apparent for months.  Even feeling it on the off-market deals.  This "hotness" would include MF as well.  Crazy.

Here is statewide code in WA. We would expect this to be updated if anything new was passed. I got to know this like the back of my hand when I owned my own PM firm in Seattle.  https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=59.18

Also, Seattle specifically has their own Just Cause Ordinance.

Best of luck!

Hi ,


We are planning to move to Seattle from Boston and looking at buying a house, we can use help in deciding on how to move forward .

1- I work from Home for now and only need to travel to Seattle downtown maybe 1-2 times a month.

2- We have no kids its just me ,my wife and our dog , we prefer house with nice yard and if possible views ...the american dream.

3- Looking to buy something between $ 350-450 K budget.

4- Prefer a neighbourhood that will not crash in property value as we are putting our savings into the home, an investment that can appreciate well over time.

Any help or advice in terms of which all neighborhood to search is much appreciated, ideally a nice suburban house with brilliant views

Thanks again .

Hi Mohit, challenging but definitely possible.  I suppose it depends also on your specific criteria for "brilliant views." :)  You really shouldn't need to be 60-70 miles out.  Possibilities exist much closer.   Best wishes on your search!

Hi Brandon thanks so much for the info!

Do you have a website?

 Will send you a PM. Not sure we're allowed to post domains.

Hey CJ, very cool that yours planning to visit. Next time try to shoot for summer when you really can enjoy what the PNW has to offer. 

Yes, for that price you will have to be outside the greater Seattle area. You'll be able to find a duplex, South Pierce County, maybe Tacoma. I'm currently hunting for off market deals for clients under $500k and over $5mil. Happy to help you in your search. I can offer you our MLS Homespotter app to search.

Unfortunately, Seattle (and Tacoma is starting to follow) is extremely tenant- friendly. That involves a much longer conversation. I'm happy to point you to general WA Landlord-Tenant law info if you'd like to review at your convenience.

Best wishes on your investment goals!

Send me a PM and I'll send you a list we keep in a spreadsheet. You could also Google "hard money Tacoma Seattle."

Depends on many factors on you personally.  How long have you been an agent, what are your goals, what are your support needs?  I had my own firm for 4 years.  I was also at KW (Keller Williams) for a year and loved it but now I've been at eXp for over a year and it's pretty great, based on my needs/goals.  You can't go wrong with either KW or eXp.  I just prefer to have the stock rewards and revenue share option which made me move to eXp vs. staying at KW.

@Ryan Rupe some good feedback from the group here. I suppose it depends on what your metric is for "healthy" cashflow. Yes, greater Seattle is super tight. S. King, Tacoma and Pierce Co will have more options. As James mentioned, also depends on whether you plan to owner occupy. $35k will get you into a duplex or maybe triplex with owner occupy financing. I'm happy to send you a link to our local MLS app if you'd like to watch inventory and search at your convenience. I have MF experience in the Seattle-Tacoma market. Happy to help you analyze deals if you need it. Keep in mind there is more to reviewing properties than just the financials. Best wishes on your plan!
