Texas Investor Market Overview
Texas is one of the top two or three DSCR markets in the country by volume. Houston and DFW each rival Atlanta and Phoenix in deal flow. San Antonio offers growth with military stability. Austin is an appreciation play where prices have gated conventional DTI for most investors. El Paso adds cheap entry and Fort Bliss military tenants.
The non-negotiable underwriting issue in Texas is property taxes, highest in the nation and often 2.5% or more of appraised value. Pro formas that understate TX taxes fail at closing. Insurance is also elevated, especially on the coast and in hail-prone DFW. Texas is non-judicial on foreclosures (fastest in the country via power of sale), has no state income tax, and is landlord-friendly. No rent control.

Why DSCR Lending Fits Texas
Texas property taxes are the single biggest reason a DSCR specialist matters more here than in most states. Generalist brokers underwrite national-average tax rates and TX deals blow up at closing when the true bill comes in. We quote real county-specific taxes at intake and size DSCR accordingly. Beyond taxes, Texas's no-income-tax status pulls in self-employed investors with heavy write-offs whose conventional DTI is dead. DSCR ignores personal income entirely. The state's BRRRR community is massive and operates on no-seasoning refi speed that only DSCR supports.
