1. check if your jurisdiction allows detached ADUs2. check if you can split ownership of the two homes Hi @Adrian Chu, I am also in the Seattle area and have been interested in this hack, but I am still getting held up on understanding how you split the ownership of the home/property.

Not an impossible task, but it winds up being ALOT of work for a home that is still likely to have a number of deficiencies compared to a newly built, energy efficient home.Now the question I've had a lot of people ask me is: I just bought a concrete block home.

I know people that are really good at their trade (plumbing, cleaning, electrician, etc) but they don't have financial discipline, they don't know how to market, they suck at customer service, they don't use tools to their advantage, etc.Cody Sanchez (lady in the video) buys different types of businesses and makes them profitable by applying basic business disciplines.

People talk about it like it's standard and easy to do but you do not want to find out after you've sold the other property that it isn't possible so just proceed with caution.

I've seen landlords held hostage for years by tenants who know how to manipulate the law.On the other hand, sitting vacant costs you the mortgage, taxes, utilities, insurance, lawncare, and other expenses.

People can lose money.

Looking for other people’s opinions.

@Sebastian Tamburro you're going to get advice/offers from numerous people trying to profit off you - be careful!

That's one reason I hang out on BP - most people in my life can't appreciate the level of work it took to get to this level.

You should go to your local REIA, there are like-minded people at these events that can always give you tips and insight too.
