@Kirbi Campbell Add 10 single family homes to my portfolio at 60% ltv or lessMy method, look for municipalities that allow detached accessory dwellings as an investor and either buy properties that have accessory dwellings already or build them.Basically, a twofer model :)

House hack may be by finishing a garage, get Accessory Dwell Unit (ADU), Monther in Law (MIL), Duplex, Triplex, Fourplex, ....House hack a property will allow you to put way less money down (5%).Some neighborhoods in Seattle and Tacoma are pretty good.

Besides this option, are you also open for a house hack (finish of a basement, Accessory dwell unit, mother-in-law, .....)If you are open for the two options, you will have more houses to choose from.Always open to more conversation over phone or coffee if that's helpful!

By the way, instead of a duplex, you might be able to find a single-family home with an accessory dwelling unit to use as a rental.

I explain that on my condo, house and accessory dwelling unit alone here in Los Angeles will net approximately $100,000/year with 3% appreciation in 30 years.   

ADUs are easier to permit, but they result in an accessory unit (not an SFR).

When you say "DADU", we're talking about a dethatched accessory dwelling on the same lot as an existing single family home.

The good thing about Tacoma is that it allows non-resident Accessory Dwell Unit (ADU) without living in it.

One of the good things about Tacoma is that it allows non-owner occupied Accessory Dwell Unit (ADU).
