How good the loan terms would likely be, and how many lenders would make this loan:
Hard
85/100
Your price is 50% under the asking price. Getting a seller to agree would be hard, unless the home needs major work.
For the rent to cover the payment 1.2 times, the price would need to be about $149,000, 67% under the asking price. That would be close to impossible to get.
This seller may come down about 9%: listed 89 days, priced over the estimated home value, the seller sounds open to offers.
At the starting numbers, this home is not a good fit for a DSCR loan. You would put in $430 a month after vacancy and reserves, so the return on your cash is weak. Most lenders would still make the loan, but the rent covers the payment only 1.02 times. The home is in a FEMA high-risk flood zone that requires extra insurance.
For the numbers to work, the price would need to drop to about $149,000, which would be close to impossible to get. A rent of about $3,348 a month would also work, but that is above the likely range. The MUD on this home adds 1.00% to the tax rate, which is a big part of the gap. Before you make an offer, ask a local leasing agent what homes like this one have actually leased for.

A price of about $148,837 at this rent (taxes stay at the county’s value, which is higher than that price), or a rent of about $3,348 a month at this price.
Most good DSCR deals are bought below the estimated value. Use this as the price to aim for when you make an offer. At about $131,752, it would reach 1.25.
About $13,450 a year ($1,121 a month) on a taxable value of $410,807 (the county’s market value, which is higher than the starting price of $225,000)

Texas writes tax rates of value. This is what you’d pay as a landlord once the county reassesses the home: your price or the county’s market value, whichever is higher, times every tax rate on this home. There are no exemptions, because they don’t transfer to an investor. Lenders figure taxes the same way.
Last year’s value ($401,353) times this home’s rates comes to about $10,895, after their exemptions. You’d pay about $13,450, which is $2,555 more.
Why yours is likely higher:

: This home is in a MUD that taxes it at $1.5000 per $100, about $514 a month of the total. The MUD sold bonds to build the neighborhood’s water, sewer and drainage, and homeowners repay them through this tax. The rate usually falls as the bonds are paid off, but it can stay high for years in a new neighborhood. The county lists it as a developing district, so its rate can rise as it sells more bonds. Ask the seller for the MUD notice they signed when they bought.

Solid The range is tight, and the rentals it compared are close by and similar.
These are : RentCast’s estimate for a long-term lease, built from 15 similar rentals nearby. The range is where the rent should land 85% of the time. Rents in Greater Houston have been flat, so plan around the middle or lower part of the range until a real lease says otherwise.
15 homes, usually 0.6 miles away, renting for $2,400 to $3,500 (the middle one: $2,850). 10 of them were on the market in the last 90 days.
They rent for about $1.33 per square foot. At this home’s size, that’s about $2,965/month.
About 32 days (the middle of the rentals that left the market). 3 of the 15 are still listed.
Every week a rental sits empty is a week without rent. The report’s vacancy setting (8% of the year) covers time like this between tenants.
The rent is 1.27% of the price each month, so the price is about 6.6 years of rent.
A quick check some investors use is the “1% rule”: monthly rent of at least 1% of the price. It’s a rule of thumb. Lenders don’t use it; the DSCR, taxes and insurance decide whether a deal works.

Zone AE is a high-risk flood zone, with at least a 1-in-100 chance of flooding in any year. Lenders require flood insurance here.
The zone comes from FEMA’s current flood map. FEMA’s draft maps for Harris County put more homes in the high-risk zone, so a home near a bayou may change zones. If the seller has a federal flood policy, ask to take it over at closing. It can keep a lower price. Most flood policies come from the .
No. Wind and hail are part of the regular policy here (in Harris County only La Porte, Morgan’s Point, Pasadena, Seabrook and Shoreacres, east of Highway 146, are in TWIA’s area).
: Policies here charge a percent of the home’s coverage for wind and hail claims: 2% is standard, about $7,795 on this home, and 3% to 5% nearer the coast. That’s what you’d pay first after a hailstorm, so keep it in your savings.
