Presentations focus on creative and high-yield strategies to build wealth quickly and reliably in real estate, 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. ShortTerm (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: Consistant 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 the best real estate deals, including sending mail & calling potential sellers to source off-market deals.
