Most Austin pro formas break on taxes and vacancy.
Investor-owned Austin property carries no homestead cap, so taxes reset to full assessed value at your purchase price. Add a realistic vacancy factor, a true maintenance reserve, and turnover costs, and a deal that looked like 7% often lands closer to 4%. We would rather show you that before closing than after.
"Their numbers were less optimistic than the listing agent's — and they turned out to be right."

Questions, answered.
What is a good ROI on an Austin rental?+
Most Austin buyers underwrite to roughly 4-7% cash-on-cash in year one, with total return meaningfully higher once principal paydown, depreciation, and appreciation are counted.
Do Austin rentals cash flow?+
Some do. Central Austin often runs thin on day-one cash flow and stronger on appreciation, while suburbs like Pflugerville, Hutto, Manor, and Kyle price closer to break-even or positive.
What expenses do investors forget?+
Property taxes at the non-homestead rate, insurance increases, a real maintenance reserve, turnover and make-ready costs, and vacancy between leases.
Will you analyze a property I don't own yet?+
Yes. We give buyers a rent projection and expense estimate before closing at no cost and with no obligation.
