HOUSE HACKING!! By far the best way for anyone to pick up their first rental property, especially a first time homebuyer, its my favorite strategy and I love showing new investors how they can get started with a smaller downpayment, reduced risk and simpler management. This was how I began my investing journey, starting with a duplex in 2016 that has grown into a 6 figure per year portfolio. I love helping others to take the first step in reshaping the trajectory of their financial future. Give me a call and we can talk about what's the best next step for you.

🏘️ 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. We practice what we preach here - every member of the team has completed at least one HouseHack, DADU, or Airbnb Investment (most many more!). HouseHacking and Investing has changed my family’s life by giving us the freedom and financial flexibility to focus on what matters most, and we'd love to help you do the same! Real Estate & Investing can be complex and intimidating, but we promise to act as your expert consultant throughout the entire process, guiding you through your 1st (or 100th!) investment, providing stacks of high-quality resources, and answering all your questions along the way. Rockstars know Rockstars, so we provide referrals to vetted contractors, property managers, & lenders so you have a strong team behind you. Want to learn more? 1.

Questions investors in Tacoma ask

Local answers only. The general ones (what investor-friendly means, what it costs, how vetting works) are on the main finder page.

What do Tacoma agents specialize in?

The 5 agents listed here specialize in fix & flip, land, long-term rental, mid-term rental, mobile home parks, multi-family (2-4 units), new construction, primary residence, short-term rental, single-family rental, and townhouse/condo.

Do these agents cover Olympia, Seattle, and Algona too?

Yes. Between them, the agents listed here also serve Olympia, Seattle, Algona, Auburn, Enumclaw, Everett, Gig Harbor, Graham, Kent, Lacey, Milton, Port Orchard, Puyallup, Renton, Arlington, Ashford, Baring, Beaux Arts Village, Belfair, Black Diamond, Bonney Lake, Bothell, Bremerton, Brier, Buckley, Burien, Carnation, Clyde Hill, Covington, Darrington, Des Moines, Duvall, Eatonville, Edgewood, Edmonds, Elbe, Federal Way, Fife, Forks, Frederickson, Glacier, Gold Bar, Granite Falls, Grotto, Hunts Point, Index, Issaquah, Kendall, Kenmore, Kirkland, Lake Forest Park, Lake Stevens, Lake Tapps, Lakewood, Leavenworth, Lynnwood, Maple Falls, Maple Valley, Marysville, Medina, Mill Creek, Monroe, Mountlake Terrace, Mukilteo, Normandy Park, North Bend, Ocean Shores, Orting, Pacific, Packwood, Redmond, Sammamish, SeaTac, Shoreline, Silverdale, Skykomish, Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Snoqualmie Pass, South Hill, Spanaway, Sultan, Sumner, Tukwila, University Place, Warnick, Woodinville, Woodway, and Yarrow Point. If your search is really greater Tacoma 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 Pierce County and how those deals performed. An agent who works with investors will have the numbers ready.

What is an investor-friendly real estate agent?

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.
