A typical DSCR lender wouldn’t make this loan as it stands, because of rent that covers less than 0.75 times the payment, where most DSCR lenders stop.

Negotiation difficulty

Your price matches the asking price. A seller would likely agree to it.

For the rent to cover the payment 1.2 times, the price would need to be about $194,000, 58% under the asking price. That would be close to impossible to get.

Why this score

This seller may come down about 10%: listed 87 days, one price cut, priced over the estimated home value, the seller sounds open to offers.

How the seller describes it: the price was cut.

Our take

At the starting numbers, this home is not a good fit for a DSCR loan. A typical DSCR lender wouldn’t make this loan and the deal loses money each month. The rent covers the monthly payment 0.72 times (DSCR 0.72), and you would put in $1,642 a month after vacancy and reserves.

For the rent to cover the payment 1.2 times, the price would need to be about $194,000, 58% under the asking price. That would be close to impossible to get. A rent of about $4,911 a month would cover the payment 1.2 times, above the likely range of $2,490 to $3,420. The home is in a municipal utility district (MUD): ENCANTO REAL UD adds 0.74% to the tax rate, and the county labels it a developing district whose rate can change. Before making an offer, ask a local leasing agent what homes like this one have actually leased for.

Our standard verdict, from the report’s starting numbers.

At $193,917 the rent covers the loan on typical terms.

At this rent, a price of about $193,917 gets the rent to cover the payment 1.2 times. Taxes would stay at the county’s value, which is higher.

Does the rent cover the loan?

At the asking price of $459,900 with 25% down, the rent of $2,960 a month covers the monthly payment 0.72 times. The rent doesn’t cover the monthly payment. Most lenders would want a lower price or more money down.

What it would take to reach 1.2

A price of about $193,917 at this rent (taxes stay at the county’s value, which is higher than that price), or a rent of about $4,911 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 $176,669, it would reach 1.25.

Show me the math
Loan
price × (1 − down payment) = $459,900 × (1 − 25%) = $344,925, a of 75%
Loan payment (principal and interest)
$344,925 at 7.915%, paid off evenly over 30 years = $2,511 a month
Full monthly payment (PITIA)
$2,511 + taxes $1,024 + insurance $475 + HOA $83 = $4,093
DSCR
rent ÷ payment = $2,960 ÷ $4,093 = 0.72 (the full rent, nothing off for empty months, as lenders count it)
Rent you actually collect
rent × (1 − vacancy) = $2,960 × (1 − 8%) = $2,723
Set aside each month
$2,723 × (0% management + 5% repairs + 5% big replacements) = $272
Monthly cash flow
$2,723 − $272 − $4,093 = −$1,642
Cash to close
down payment $114,975 + closing costs 3% ($13,797) + renovation $10,000 = $138,772
Cash-on-cash return

Local details behind the numbers

Your property taxes as an investor

About $12,289 a year ($1,024 a month) on a taxable value of $459,900 (the asking price)

2.67% a year ($2.6721 per $100, 2026 rates, with some districts still on last year’s rate)

See the tax details

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.

The seller’s bill vs. yours

Last year’s value ($432,916) times this home’s rates comes to about $9,368, after their exemptions. You’d pay about $12,289, which is $2,920 more.

Why yours is likely higher:

  • The seller gets a homestead exemption for living there, which lowers their taxable value. A rental doesn’t get it.
  • After a sale, the county moves the value toward the price you paid.

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 $0.7400 per $100, about $284 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.

Fair A good starting point. Check it against a recent lease nearby. Why: the likely range is wide.

Each dot is a nearby rental that RentCast compared with this home. Point at a dot for details, or see the table below. The shaded band is where the rent should land 85% of the time.

The rentals it compared

15 homes, usually 0.8 miles away, renting for $2,295 to $4,200 (the middle one: $2,850). 8 of them were on the market in the last 90 days.

They rent for about $0.94 per square foot. At this home’s size, that’s about $3,125/month.

How long nearby rentals took to lease

About 30 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. We left out 1 listing that has been up for months, which is usually an apartment complex’s standing ad.

Rent compared with the price

The rent is 0.64% of the price each month, so the price is about 12.9 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).

: Policies here charge a percent of the home’s coverage for wind and hail claims: 2% is standard, about $11,578 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.

  • 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.
