We own our house in Seattle and are trying to determine the best strategy for our move - what approach would net us the most money over the next 1-3 years.

It's a 2-unit house, if that matters at all. 

Dont take the easy way out and sell the house.

Let's ask: i'm donating a house I've owned for 10 years to a lcal 501(c)(3).

Originally this started as a house hack I have recently moved out and it is now a 2 unit with one half being furnished rental.

Jesi, I just traveled to Maui for the first time in early January, it is so beautiful.

If you were to sell the rental, what would be your budget and buying criteria to house hack?

This is a great case of how anyone can house hack.

This is a fine example of where to research out of state investments as the housing prices to purchase are still reasonable and low (not like California where I am and entry level house SFR is a million dollars). 

But mostly buy a house with a large lot in a high-density area.
