Need advice on rental property Lake Stevens,Everett,Kent,Auburn

[Pritam Karmakar]

I'm a newbie and looking for your advice, which is better for a rental property area. Here are my thoughts - either Lake Stevens, Everett, Marysville or Kent, Auburn, Puyallup. 

1. Which area is better for rental property?

2. Do I have to worry about school ratings? 

3. From Kent, Auburn, Puyallup can folks commute via train to Seattle? 

Please suggest. Thank you.

@Pritam Karmakar, it really depends on the deal. Both north and south have very good and very bad deals.

That said, in a general way, the purchase price in the south maybe a little less than the north. For sure anything around the train will appreciate a lot especially if you can market it as "walking distance" AKA (half a mile) from the rail station. For sure school ratings have impacts, but not as much as other factors.

If I am in your place, I will keep my options open and follow the deal, not a specific location.

Feel free to reach out. I am always open to more conversation over the phone or coffee!
