# 16615 Barcelona Dr, Friendswood, TX 77546

For sale at $230,000. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,209 sq ft, built 1974. Updated Oct 27, 2026.

## Summary

At the starting numbers, this home is a good fit for a DSCR loan: it works on all three scores. The rent covers the monthly payment 1.41 times (DSCR 1.41), and you would have $259 a month left over after vacancy and reserves.

With the other settings as they are, a price from $134,000 to $184,000 works on all three scores. Getting a price in that range would be possible with a motivated seller. The seller's tax bill of $4,472 (2025) is lower than an investor's estimated $4,557 a year, because exemptions and caps do not transfer. Get a real landlord insurance quote and a lender term sheet to firm up these estimates before making an offer.

## Before you rely on these numbers

- The verdict uses our standard wording. The AI-written version wasn’t ready, or it didn’t pass our fact check.
- Every number here is an estimate. Before you make an offer, get a lender’s quote, an insurance quote, and a recent lease nearby to check the rent.
- Property taxes reset after a purchase. The seller’s exemptions and caps don’t transfer, and the taxable value moves toward your price.
- Get a real landlord insurance quote. Prices vary a lot by ZIP code, roof age and flood zone.
- Check the rent against a recent lease nearby. Lenders use the lower of your signed lease and the appraiser’s rent estimate.
- Texas doesn’t make sale prices public, so every home value estimate here is rough. Ask an agent for recent sales nearby before you make an offer.
