Everett DSCR loans: where the numbers start to work
Everett is the county seat of Snohomish County and a major employment center (Boeing’s Everett plant, Naval Station Everett, and the area’s hospitals). Prices are well below Seattle, and rents are not as far below, so rental properties here more often reach a DSCR of 1.0 or better at standard down payments.
Typical Everett rental properties
- Older single-family homes
- Duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes (more common here than in the northern suburbs)
- Condos and townhomes
- New Middle Housing options (ADUs/DADUs)
Illustrative example (examples only)
Fourplex, appraised $[1,100,000], total market rent $[7,400]/month, PITIA $[6,300]/month. DSCR = 1.17. Lenders may treat 2-4 unit properties differently on rent and reserves.
Things to check
- City rental requirements, registration or inspection programs
- Planned transit, such as the Sound Transit extension to Everett, and how far off it is (verify the timeline before saying anything about it)
- Condition and deferred maintenance on older buildings
