Description

A very nice three bedroom, two bath, two car garage home in pristine condition. Quartz countertops, newer stainless appliances, remodeled master shower, and so much more. High ceilings, two dining areas, indoor laundry. The landscaping is very pretty, with a healthy yard and sprinkler system--there's even a firepit in the back! This home is completely ready for immediate occupancy - it is neat and clean and in like-new condition. For the last four years the current owners have only used the home a few weeks a year. The roof is approximately 8 years old. In March of 2025 a historic flood dumped over 20 inches of rain in Harlingen and surrounding areas in less than two days. The home took on approximately 2-3 inches of water, but the owners have flood insurance. The entire interior of the home was redone. They had the exterior painted at that time, as well. You'll be impressed by this immaculate home! $279,000.

How we calculate the cap rate, and how accurate it is

Cap rate = NOI ÷ price. NOI is the rent you would collect in a year, after vacancy, minus the costs of running the property. The loan is left out, so the cap rate measures the property as if you paid cash.

Amounts are rounded to the dollar; the cap rate uses the exact figures.

Is it accurate?

It is an estimate, not a quote or a guaranteed return. It is only as good as its inputs:

  • From the MLS listing: price
  • Our estimates and assumptions: rent, property tax, insurance, vacancy, maintenance, management
  • Not provided, counted as $0: HOA
  • MLS figures are what the listing reports. We have not verified them.
  • Listings in this MLS do not include property tax, so unless you enter your own figure we use 2.2% of the price a year. Look up the property’s value and taxing units at the Cameron Appraisal District (opens in a new tab); a rental does not get the homestead exemption.
  • If a listing advertises its own cap rate, it may leave out vacancy, management or other costs, which makes it look higher.
  • To confirm it, ask for the current lease or rent roll, last year’s tax bill (Cameron County Tax Assessor-Collector) and your own insurance quote from a Texas-licensed agent; coastal wind and flood coverage can cost much more. For a specific property, Ricardo can ask the listing agent for the lease, the tax bill and what the seller pays for insurance.

What it leaves out

  • The mortgage. Your loan shows up in cash flow and cash-on-cash, not in the cap rate.
  • Big repairs and replacements (roof, A/C, appliances) and savings set aside for them.
  • Utilities, lawn care or pest control, if the owner pays them.
  • Closing costs, leasing fees, income taxes in the U.S. or Mexico, and depreciation.
