INVESTMENT PROPERTY IN EL PASO, TX
UNDERWRITTEN NOT GUESSED
Small multifamily, rentals, and land around El Paso and Socorro — underwritten on what the property earns today, not on what a pro forma hopes it earns later.
Underwriting an El Paso rental honestly
In Texas, property tax is the line that decides deals. There is no state income tax, but rates are high and they vary between taxing jurisdictions — city, county, school district, hospital district and any special districts stack, so two properties a few miles apart can carry very different bills. Underwriting to the seller's current tax figure is the most common modelling error here, particularly where the seller held a homestead exemption that will not transfer to you.
