Tough terms
31/100
A few lenders would likely make this loan. The weak spot is down payment (25%).
When the rent doesn’t cover the payment, most DSCR lenders cap the loan at 70% of the price. At 25% down, only a few lenders would likely make this loan. Putting 30% down opens it to most lenders. So does a price or rent where the rent covers the payment.
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 $84,000, 75% under the asking price. That would be close to impossible to get.
This seller may come down about 3%: listed 13 days, priced over the estimated home value. Working against you: the seller sounds firm.
At the starting numbers, this home is not a good fit for a DSCR loan. You would put in $497 a month after vacancy and reserves, so the return on your cash is weak. Fewer lenders would make this loan, and getting this price would be hard. The home is built 2024.
For the numbers to work, the price would need to be about $84,000, which would be close to impossible to get. A rent of about $2,713 a month would also work, but that is above the likely range of $1,860 to $2,410. Putting 30% down would open the loan to most lenders. The MUD adds 1.10% 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 $83,530 at this rent (taxes stay at the county’s value, which is higher than that price), or a rent of about $2,713 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 $70,680, it would reach 1.25.
About $11,476 a year ($956 a month) on a taxable value of $344,716 (the county’s market value, which is higher than the starting price of $165,000)
3.33% a year ($3.3291 per $100, 2026 rates, with some districts still on last year’s rate)
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 ($352,167) times this home’s rates comes to about $11,592, before any exemptions, so their real bill is lower. You’d pay about $11,476, which is $116 less.

Each line is a separate local government with its own rate. Rates are set every fall, and each line shows its latest adopted rate. Your payment depends only on the total.
: This home is in a MUD that taxes it at $1.5000 per $100, about $431 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.

Harris County appraisal district account 1471360040014 (27222 PRAIRIE BLAZINGSTAR, HOCKLEY, 77447), from Harris County’s Truth-in-Taxation record, read Oct 15, 2026. Exemptions on record: none. This is our estimate. Check it against the seller’s tax statement.
About $2,130/month likely $1,860 to $2,410
Fair A good starting point. Check it against a recent lease nearby. Why: the likely range is wide, the nearby rentals are far away.
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 1.3 miles away, renting for $1,800 to $2,700 (the middle one: $2,100). 2 of them were on the market in the last 90 days.
They rent for about $1.07 per square foot. At this home’s size, that’s about $2,140/month.
About 31 days (the middle of the rentals that left the market).
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 1.29% of the price each month, so the price is about 6.5 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 X (area of minimal flood hazard) is low risk on FEMA’s map. Flood insurance is optional, but many Greater Houston homes that flooded in Hurricane Harvey were outside the high-risk zones, so many landlords buy it anyway.
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).
