This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom single-family home at 22815 Red Leo Ln in Spring was built in 2004 and has 1,980 sq ft. The numbers start from the asking price of $165,000, and 15 nearby rentals suggest $2,230 a month in rent. At that price and rent, the rent covers the monthly payment 1.37 times (DSCR 1.37). That is comfortably above the 1.25 most lenders like to see. After 8% of the year empty and 10% of rent set aside for repairs, you would have $224 a month left over.
Three Greater Houston facts drive these numbers. The home is in a municipal utility district (MUD): ENCANTO REAL UD adds 0.74% to the tax rate, and the county labels it a developing district whose rate can change. Rents in Greater Houston have been flat, so the numbers assume 8% vacancy and no rent growth. The home is in zone X, a FEMA minimal-risk flood zone (flood insurance optional); most Harris County homes that flooded in Harvey were outside mapped floodplains, so optional does not mean unnecessary.
