A rental can look great on...
The following local update was published on August 17, 2026 by Modern Roots Realty Group, a dedicated real estate professional serving the Central Texas area.
A rental can look great on paper when you’re only comparing the rent to the monthly payment. The problem is that roofs, HVAC systems, appliances, vacancies, and tenant turnover don’t show up as neat monthly expenses.
Before buying, I’d look at the age of the major systems and decide how much of the monthly cash flow needs to stay with the property as a reserve. That way, a large repair is something you planned for, not something that suddenly wipes out a year of profit.
A good investment should work beyond the best-case months.
