FAQ
Houston fixer-upper questions.
- Are ARVs verified?
- Each Houston listing includes recent sold comps. Your own walk-through and contractor scope are still expected.
- Can I use a 203(k) or similar loan?
- Some yes, most no — most fixer-uppers in our inventory don't pass FHA condition standards. Hard money or cash works.
- What's the typical rehab budget?
- Ranges widely: $15k cosmetic flips up to $150k+ full guts. Each Houston listing includes a starting scope estimate.
- Who pulls permits?
- Buyer post-close. Your GC or you, depending on Texas licensing rules.
How this works in Texas
Fixer-upper in Texas: the local rules.
Timeline & foreclosure
Texas has the fastest foreclosure timeline in the U.S. — as short as 41 days from notice to sale. If you're behind, this matters; we can close in as little as 7 days to beat the trustee sale.
Texas is a non judicial foreclosure state.
Closing custom
A title company handles closing in Texas. Texas homestead protections affect equity at closing — factor those in when you set your price.
Local demand
Houston, DFW, Austin, and San Antonio are four of the largest cash-buyer markets in the U.S., with very competitive offers. Smaller metros (Lubbock, El Paso, McAllen, Corpus) are thinner but still steady year-round.
Houston market context
What makes Houston different.
Houston is a major metro of about 2,961,756 residents in Harris County, TX. Average household income runs roughly $76k, which puts the estimated median home value around $238,000 and typical days-on-market near 24. That mix shapes how fixer-upper deals price and how fast they trade here — bigger metros see more competing offers, smaller markets see fewer bids per home but cleaner negotiating leverage.

Glossary
Key terms for fixer-upper in Houston.
- ARV (After-Repair Value)
- What the Houston property will sell for once renovated. Drives every offer formula; sanity-check it against sold comps within a half-mile and the last 90 days.
- 70% rule
- Max offer ≈ (ARV × 0.70) − rehab. A starting point, not a law; tight markets routinely transact at 75–80% of ARV.
- Assignment
- Selling your purchase contract to another investor before closing. The end buyer takes title; you collect an assignment fee.
- DSCR loan
- Debt-Service-Coverage-Ratio loan that qualifies on the property's rent — not your personal income. The standard way to scale past Fannie's 10-financed-property cap.
