Approach

How I underwrite

Texas has no state income tax, but property taxes are a large part of every rental's expenses, and the combined rate can differ by half a percentage point or more between nearby addresses. I put the actual rate for each address into the numbers, along with insurance, HOA, any MUD or PID, vacancy and maintenance.

FAQ

Common questions

How much are property taxes on a DFW rental?

Rental properties do not get the homestead exemption, so you pay the full combined rate on the appraised value. Check the rate for the exact address in my city guides and confirm with the appraisal district.

Can you estimate repairs before I make an offer?

Yes.

What expenses should I include when analyzing a rental?

Property taxes at the full combined rate for the address, insurance, HOA dues, any MUD or PID assessment, vacancy, maintenance and property management if you will not manage it yourself.
