Texas underwriting
Texas property taxes & your Killeen DSCR
Texas has no state income tax, but property taxes are among the highest in the nation — effective rates in the Bell County area commonly run ~1.8–2.2% (Bell County). Because DSCR is rent divided by full PITIA, taxes are often the single biggest swing factor in a Texas deal. We underwrite to the real assessed-value tax bill (not the prior owner’s capped amount), so your DSCR reflects what you’ll actually pay.
| Effective property tax | ~1.8–2.2% (Bell County) (verify per parcel + exemptions) |
| Impact on DSCR | Taxes are a major PITIA line — budget the reassessed bill |
| Insurance | Moderate — hail; model $2.2K–$3.2K/yr |
| How we help | We model the true tax + insurance so your DSCR is accurate up front |
