Description
Prime hard-corner opportunity with exceptional visibility and high traffic in the heart of Harlingen's medical and retail corridor. Positioned on Business 77 (S. 77 Sunshine Strip) with easy ingress/egress, this 1.38-acre corner is an ideal site for a QSR or similar establishment. Join an established high-traffic node anchored by McDonald's, Raising Cane's, Panda Express, and Texas Regional Bank — where national QSR brands have acquired sites. Walking distance to the Valley Coastal Bend VA Ambulatory Surgery Clinic and Valley Baptist Medical Center, and minutes from Harlingen Medical Center, the UTRGV Institute of Neuroscience, the UTRGV Academic Health Center and Clinical Education buildings, and the area's major medical practices. Neighbor to established and fast-growing subdivisions, the site draws steady daytime medical traffic with a strong residential base. This is a rare high-visibility corner in one of Harlingen's most active corridors.

Investment Calculator
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.

Accuracy
It is an estimate, not a quote or a guaranteed return. It is only as good as its inputs:
- From the MLS listing:
- From a rent comparable:
- Your figures:
- Our estimates and assumptions:
- Not provided, counted as $0:
- Missing: the monthly rent. Enter it to get a cap rate.
- MLS figures are what the listing reports. We have not verified them.
- The tax on a listing is the seller’s last bill, and it can be lower than what you will pay: a homestead exemption, the 10% cap on homestead appraisals and an over-65 or disability tax ceiling do not carry over to an investor.
- 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.
