Within the city limits larger single families (6+ bedrooms) rented by the room to young professionals, and Single Families with ADU's can both cashflow quite well. Inside the city limits returns on Small Multifamily are usually quite low, but outside in Renton, Des Moines, Tukwilla, Burien, or Everett the returns tend to be better.

To answer your original question, North Seattle is a wonderful place to live (nice houses, good school districts, ect) but the rent-to-purchase price ratios tend to be better in South Seattle. Buying on the lighrail line is always a good idea.


Are you local @Jai Kay@Harrison Chiu? The strategies tend to change a bit depending on whether you live in the area or are investing here remotely from another part of the country.

Cheers! I'm always happy to hop on the phone or grab a coffee to discus strategies in more detail.
