I used a free trial of agentpro247.com to generate a list of all the properties that met my criteria.

I can leverage the cash value from now till the time I retire.Here's the logic behind this: Life Insurance Cash Value can generate 2 to 3 times the retirement income of money in traditional retirement assets.

Mostly because the market in Seattle is so inflated that the rental rates would need to be extremely high to generate good cash flow.

I don't mind paying for a good service, but I went back through the last few listings and saw that Trulia generated the most leads by far, followed by Zillow and then Hotpads.

Currently I have two properties that both generate cash flow and have appreciation upside down the road but I'm seeking to invest elsewhere now.

Generate as many leads as you possible can.

Also, for example the 1% rule would never apply here as it would be impossible to generate 1000 eur/month with a 100 000k eur investment. 

I saw a few inexpensive properties from Hunter that need tons of work, but they are in potential areas in Houston, that can generate good return if you can rehab those properties.

Short-term I wanted to generate capital and longer-term cash-flow & wealth. 

Nothing you can do about co.s trying to generate unnecessary work.
