While you can’t completely control who applies to live in your properties, you most definitely can find areas that are popular with students, young professionals, families, etc. 4) just as important as finding the property, you need to have an exit strategy in mind for the property.

Are the any Seattle/Renton realtors or contractors companies that specialize in this type of strategy?

These things are the foundation for BRRRR, cash-out financing, and other REI strategies.

@Valentino Sierra, great strategy.

What are your goals and current strategy to work toward them?

(Your mileage may vary)Prior to finalizing a lease agreement, I am considering presenting tenants with two rental price options for consideration:1) Inclusion of renter's insurance within the lease terms, with the option for tenants who decline coverage to pay slightly higher rent (wherein the associated premium cost is included in the monthly rental amount without the tenant's explicit knowledge).2) Inclusion of renter's insurance within the lease terms, with the option for tenants who obtain coverage to receive a slight discount on their rental rate equivalent to the cost of their renter's insurance premium.Optimistically, the second approach aims to incentivize continuous coverage for the tenant through a comprehensive renter's insurance strategy.

This seems like a market where this would be a good strategy.

I have been doing the BRRRR as my exit strategy to obtain properties in my rental portfolio.

I might take a different strategy.

My suggestion, is you visit all these potential locations with your family, and see which area calls to you, which areas you can see yourself enjoying, and allow the STR/MTR strategy take the second seat to your enjoyment and lifestyle vision for you and your family.
