What Texas investors should know

Texas is a non disclosure state

Sale prices are not public record in Texas, so appraisers work from MLS data and their own sources. Send your best comps with your deal. Strong comps help support your after repair value.

Property taxes drive your DSCR

Texas has no state income tax and relies on property taxes, which often run higher than in other states. Use the actual tax bill, not an estimate, when you run the DSCR calculator, since taxes are part of the full payment.

Cash out on rentals

Texas has strict cash out rules for homesteads. Our loans are business purpose loans on non owner occupied property held in an entity, so cash out DSCR refinances are available up to 75% of value.
