The Middle-Housing & ADU Investor Guide

What’s inside

The zoning changed. Most pricing hasn’t caught up.

Washington’s zoning reform quietly rewrote what a lot of ordinary lots are worth. Here’s how to tell which ones.

  • What HB 1110 and HB 1337 actually require, and how each city is implementing them
  • Where middle housing pencils on the Eastside versus inside Seattle
  • ADU rules, financing routes, and realistic rent expectations by submarket
  • Running cash flow, cap rate, and DSCR on a small multiplex
  • The zoning-change value play — and the lots where it quietly doesn’t work
  • A deal-screening checklist to kill bad deals fast

Not legal or tax advice. Zoning is applied lot by lot and changes often. This guide is general education — confirm specifics with the city and your own professionals. We handle the real-estate side alongside them.
