I want to be able grow and achieve more based on my skills, strengths, and work ethic. 

If you want to go this route, I would encourage you to do your homework, find one you trust, and be honest about what you are trying to achieve.

It actually has very good dual ADU potential which I considered a plus when buying,  but at this point I have no intention of building out as such.I support some of the changes to SF zoning since as we all know the only long term way to keep housing costs under control is keep building,  and while seattle does have lots of capacity in its urban villages and L zoned areas,  adding more ADUs is the least negative-impact way to achieve some higher density in existing single family zoned neighborhoods.  

I also had the advantage of coming from a capital markets background so in that sense I was used to (A) working with high achievers, (B) delegating and (C) understanding that talented people need to be paid exorbitantly (the pain of paying doesn’t diminish especially when money is tight).

If they have a good grasp of what you’re trying to achieve and a sound market knowledge, they should be able to find the right property.

lol) All that to say that the more you you can define and articulate your goals, the better chance you will achieve them (learned that from the book Think and Grow Rich) and it really did help.

@Thomas Wood  It may be easier to try to work within the lending guidelines and programs that exist to accomplish what you're trying to achieve.

Roddy,Regardless of the sarcastic tone of many people in this thread, you need to realize that those numbers are pretty difficult to achieve in this day and age.
