Top 10 Washington Zillow Investment Listings Ranked by Cash-on-Cash Return
Ten Seattle-metro Bellevue and Bothell rental listings from Zillow ranked by cash-on-cash return—Realy metrics for WA investors.
These ten listings were pulled from the Seattle metro Zillow market (Bellevue, Bothell) and ranked by cash-on-cash return (CoC) using Realy’s Chrome extension—highest CoC first.
Every property shows negative CoC under lean assumptions—including a $20M Bellevue waterfront estate at −36% CoC. The Eastside is one of the hardest cash-flow markets in this series.
