Short-Term Rental investing in Spokane

Short-term rental financing in Spokane is a different underwriting product than a long-term DSCR loan even though it carries the same name. The lender is crediting nightly revenue instead of a signed lease, which means the documentation, the reserve requirement, and the permit diligence all change.

At the Spokane median of $385,000, a short-term rental prices near $385,000. Minimum down is 25% ($96,250), leaving a loan of $288,750. Estimated all-in PITIA runs about $2,473 per month.

The Spokane ratio math on this product

Gross nightly revenue in Spokane models to about $3,375/month across a full year. Lenders do not credit that dollar-for-dollar — a 28% haircut for vacancy, cleaning, platform fees and management leaves $2,430 of creditable income. Against a PITIA of $2,473, that is an estimated DSCR ratio of 0.98x. That lands just under 1.0. It does not kill the deal in Spokane: moving to a larger down payment ($115,500) usually closes the gap, and several shelves fund down to 0.75x with a rate add-on.

Underwriting notes specific to STR files: plan on 25% down as the floor, six months of PITIA in reserves, and either twelve months of Airbnb/VRBO earnings statements on the subject property or a third-party market revenue study for a property with no operating history. Short-term rental activity is moderate here and local rules vary by zoning district. Verify the permit status of the exact address before you go hard on earnest money — an unpermitted STR is an unfinanceable STR on this product.

Returns and structure

Return metrics at the Spokane median for this product: an estimated cap rate of 4.17%, and monthly cash flow of $43 negative at 25% down.
