- 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.
Mcallen market context
What makes Mcallen different.
Mcallen is a mid-size city of about 133,502 residents in Hidalgo County, TX. Average household income runs roughly $65k, which puts the estimated median home value around $205,000 and typical days-on-market near 38. 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 Mcallen.
- ARV (After-Repair Value)
- What the Mcallen 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.
