🏘️ HouseHacks & Investments | 🏗️ DADUs| 🤑 400+ Happy Clients | 📈 Our Investor--Agents own $25M+ in Rental Real Estate!
At HouseHack Seattle we show YOU how to use Real Estate to reach financial independence, pursue your wildest dreams, & spend the quality time you want with the people you love.
Want your home to pay you instead of the other way around? As a 5-time house hacker, I’ll show you how to use ADUs, DADUs, and extra rooms to generate serious income— through DADU development, Airbnb rentals, long-term tenants, or creative financing strategies.
We’ve helped clients build thriving real estate portfolios, become landlords, and leverage down-payment assistance to afford homes & lifestyles beyond their wildest dreams.
We specialize in the strategies that helped me acquire over $12M in cash-flowing real estate in the Seattle area, including:
1. HouseHacking:
Buy a home with extra bedrooms or extra units, live in one, and rent the rest. Your tenants cover your mortgage & expenses, and you live for free! Combine this with a low down payment ($20k or less in some cases) and you have the core formula that helped founders Michael & Jess Haas achieve a $2 Million net worth by the time they turned 30.
2. DADU Development:
There is a modern-day gold rush going on in Seattle; we’re talking about DADU’s (Detached Accessory Dwelling Units), the backyard cottages that can now be built on nearly 70% of the residential lots here in Seattle. New zoning laws allow these 1,000 sqft homes to be built, financed, and even sold separately from the existing home on the property. Or, tear down a old home and build 3 new ones (SFH + AADU + DADU) on a lot that previously could only accommodate one! We’re seeing massive 50% + returns on these projects, and whether this is your 1st or your 100th build, we have experienced builder, contractor, and lender referrals to help you every step of the way.
3. BRRRR:
Buy, Renovate or Build, Rent, Refinance, & Repeat! This strategy allows you to re-use the same cash over and over again to acquire multiple properties when other investors might only be able to acquire one.
4. Short Term (Airbnb) Rentals:
With local travel surging and the favorable loan products available to Airbnb Investors (10% down, low interest rates), investing in Short Term Rentals can yield significantly higher cashflow than other investments. Owning money-making vacation homes all around the world doesn’t sound bad, does it?
5. Long Term (Traditional) Rentals:
Consistent cashflow and inexpensive property management options make this the ultimate source of passive income. Although Long Term Rental cashflow has fallen in recent years, our team specializes in ADU’s, DADU’s, Rehabs, Conversions, & Tiny Houses to create above-average returns.
6. Off-Market:
In today’s hot market we pull every lever we can to get you the best real estate deals, including sending mail & calling potential sellers to source off-market deals.
HouseHack Seattle is a group of Active Investors, Avid HouseHackers, & Dedicated Real Estate Agents laser-focused on finding you homes and investment properties with huge income potential.

If your search is really greater Seattle rather than the city itself, start with the agent whose reviews mention the town you are buying in.
How should I choose between them?
Read the investor reviews first, then the agent's own forum posts, which show how they think about a deal before you have spent an hour on the phone. Ask each for the last three investment deals they closed in King County and how those deals performed. An agent who works with investors will have the numbers ready.

An investor-friendly real estate agent represents buyers who purchase property to rent, renovate, or resell rather than to live in. They can price a property against rent comps and renovation costs, not just against nearby sales, and they are used to offers written for speed and inspection terms an owner-occupant would not accept. Many are investors themselves.
