@Huy Huynh, I will add to the list above Tacoma and Everett.Both of them are having pretty good deals as well

Account Closed I went through a similar process in my head about a property I have in Tacoma.

When we close on both new build properties in July 2022 it will  bring our total portfolio value to $3.5M.All the financial stunts I pulled along the way:Borrowed against my 401k, took out a HELOC, pulled lines of credit, flipped a Toyota Tacoma for $4k, bought and rented out a fleet of 4 cars to Uber drivers, charged lime scooters, sold my dream truck, bought a clubwagon van to store things in to save on having to pay for a storage unit, bought a 2006 Honda Civic as my main car, borrowed from private lenders, slept on friends couches and even ran up credit cards.Every Biggerpockets rule I broke:The 1% rule.

Tacoma, or N. of Seattle (such as Everett, maryville, Snohomish, etc.).

Run numbers for practice by picking a few properties in the south (Tacoma, Fife, Federal Way) or up in the north (Edmond, Everett, etc.) from zillow or redfin.

True multifamily tends to perform a lot better outside the city, in markets like Renton, Everett, & Tacoma.

The most effective way to do this would be a basement unit, as they tend to cost much less than backyard cottages ($50,000 - $150,000 is a good estimate for a basement unit build, or way less if you throw in sweat equity or cut corners, while a 700+ sq ft backyard cottage will usually cost you $200,000+)Right now I like Kent/Des Moines (because of the upcoming lightrail stop), Renton & Everett (low prices, good multifamily opportunity), Tacoma (wonderful place to live, few good jobs, but may be revitalized further by upcoming light rail stops and more companies switching to Work From Home), and the Beacon Hill and Hillman City neighborhoods of Seattle. 

Outside of Seattle, there are a lot more small multifamily opportunities in Renton, Tacoma, and Everett. 

I’m in the Seattle Tacoma area. 

In the most "HCOL" area, lets say Seattle - Tacoma area, people is moving to Spokane for example.
