What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I love doing projects in the City of Seattle

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

This property was purchased from the MLS

How did you finance this deal?

Hard money lender and cash

How did you add value to the deal?

Remodeled the existing home, built a DADU, and sold the two separately

What was the outcome?

Sold the two homes in early 2023

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Initially we wanted to keep the existing house and build 2 new homes, but there was a nuance in the land use/zoning code that prevented us from doing that, so we went with an alternative plan.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
