Overview

§ 01

Prime investment opportunity in Houston’s 5th Ward. This income-producing property, with a CAP RATE EXCEEDING 10%, spans 11 total lots and features 5 duplexes (10 total units), individually metered and all currently leased, delivering IMMEDIATE CASH FLOW from day one. Corner at the end of a dead-end street, the site offers limited through traffic while still providing ACCESS FROM TWO SEPARATE STREETS, an ideal setup for tenants and future development. Property backs to industrial and rail, supporting steady rental demand in a strong working corridor. Located within an OPPORTUNITY ZONE, this asset presents potential tax advantages and long-term upside.

In addition to the existing duplexes, there are two tear-down structures and room to build up to 4 additional duplexes (8 more units). At the current pricing, the property is operating at an 8%+ cap rate with all units leased—offering strong in-place returns with clear expansion potential in one of Houston’s rapidly growing submarkets.

MUD Disclosure (§49.452)

§ 03 · Data moat
● §49.452 Notice
Not in archive
This MUD is not yet in our §49.452 archive. We'll add it on request.

Texas Water Code §49.452 requires districts to publish annual notices with tax rate, bonded indebtedness, and assessed value. Most Harris-area MUDs publish these; a handful managed by Inframark do not.

Request this notice
● What this tells you

The §49.452 notice is the only public document that lists a MUD's exact tax rate, outstanding bond debt, and the assessed value used to compute your taxes — direct from the district, not the MLS. If the district is newer or has more bonds outstanding than its neighbors, your effective tax rate will be higher here than just across the street.
