@Tracy Qi, many areas are over-saturated.

We can run AirDNA report for you and check average vacancy rates.

@Nicholas Chan, good question for your CPA.

@Derek Heinz, you can try HELOC and pull some of the equity out without selling your current home.

FHA loan may not be so easy since FHA requires a distance of minimum 100 miles between the two properties. Most probably you will be buying in less than 100 miles

@Nanci E Keate, reach out and I can connect you with my CPA and quick book folks

Quote from @Mark Weins:

Say i buy land in seattle with a house on it but the lot is big enough to build a DADU, if it cost 100k to build the DADU and I can sell it for 500k, and build it in a year, I could make 400k in profit every year by doing one deal. Does anyone have experience building DADU's in seattle who can answer this question? What is the profitability like when you build a DADU

 @Mark Weins. building a DADU for a $100K seems pretty low. Most builders are charging $250-$250/sq ft depending on if you will GC the whole project, or they will do that. 

We typically see DADU cost to be $300K-$350K

Quote from @Vishnupriya Suresh:

In general, I see the rent in Everett and Redmond different only by approx. few hundred dollars while the house price is almost double. I am wondering who is renting a house for $3500 at Everett when similar house is available at Redmond for $3900. What is the catch here?


 The east side is primarily appreciation more than cash flow. The rent to value ration on the east side is way lower than a lot of other places, so many investors are buying there but purely for appreciation

@Liz Rosaldo, We do deals in Bellingham. Feel free to reach out anytime
