Numbers that matter in Houston
Texas has no state income tax, but property taxes are relatively high and vary by school district, MUD and other districts. I look at the full tax rate, insurance (including flood insurance), HOA rental rules and realistic rents before you buy.
Investors from outside the U.S.
As a Certified International Property Specialist, I work with investors from Mexico, Latin America and around the world. See my page for international buyers.

Frequently asked questions
Is Houston a good place to invest in real estate?
Many investors choose Houston for its job market, population growth and lack of a state income tax. Returns depend on the property, taxes, insurance and rent, and I'll help you run the numbers. This isn't financial advice.
Can foreigners buy investment property in Houston?
Most foreign buyers can. Texas SB 17 (2025) restricts some buyers connected to designated countries, so check with a Texas real estate attorney if it may apply to you.
