How Others Are Building Their Future

Reliable Cashflow & Equity

The Nathans have owned in Ballard for a few short years and know the cost of ownership isn't getting easier. They're expecting to grow a family and want a balanced work life, which has them prioritizing monthly cashflow and faster equity growth which they'll leverage to add a bedroom or two to their bungalow in a couple years.

Built-in Childcare

Susan's single mom of the decade as far as her neighbors can tell. But it still takes a village so she's grateful that Grandma can come over the pass and stay three days each week to help look after the kids. The new cottage gives her the space she needs plus enough income from weekend short-term-rentals to offset most of the costs.

Keeping Family Together

Mom and dad were planning to downsize and finally travel like they'd hoped. But when they researched new places in Seattle, they weren't sure they could afford to stay nearby. That's when we decided to go in together and build them a new home...in our backyard! The cottage gives them a great new place, keeps the family together, and helps us build equity along the way.
