Rent it out.What is left each month?
Enter price, financing, rent and expenses to see monthly cash flow and returns. Austin-area MLS prices and tax rates are filled in to start.
Default rent is the Austin single-family lease median (MLS, Oct 2026).
Insurance is set to about 0.7% of price: the Austin-area average actually paid (Texas Department of Insurance, 2025, about 0.6% of price) plus a landlord-policy (DP-3) markup. Roof age and deductible move it. Type your own quote and it stays.
Tax rate is the 2025 combined rate inside Austin city limits, Austin ISD (county + city + school district + fire/ACC where they apply). Rentals get no homestead exemption. Newer subdivisions may add a MUD tax, typically 0.2–1.0%.
For illustration only. Confirm loan terms, insurance and taxes with your lender, insurer and CPA.
Appreciation is not included — we do not promise future prices.
Depreciation and income-tax effects vary by person and are left out.
