1) Houston Duplex Exceeding the 1% Rule $475K
Asset Quality A | Neighborhood Quality C | Year Built 2026
$4900 per month is already locked in through June 2027, with one tenant leasing both sides and paying all utilities. This is an off-market new construction duplex with two large 3 bed, 2 bath units. The tenant is subletting each unit on Airbnb, which gives him a strong reason to keep the property in good shape and pay on time. Sale comps support $500K, so SRC clients have a pre-market shot at $475K with leases, floor plan, and images available for review.

2) Fort Worth Duplex with $3950/mo Rent and $50K Equity Position, $439K
Asset Quality A | Neighborhood Quality B | Year Built 2022
$3950 per month in total rent is realistic here, with one side already leased for $1950 and the other side vacant and ready to lease. This is a 2022-built Fort Worth duplex with two 3 bed, 2.5 bath units, close to downtown Fort Worth. The assessed value is $481K, and I think a deal could realistically land at $430K, which would put a buyer $50K below assessed value. This is a recently built duplex play with cash flow, tenant income, and a walk-in equity from day 1.

3) Mesquite Furnished Home Produced $100K+ on Airbnb! $412K
Asset Quality B | Neighborhood Quality B | Year Built 1972
$102k in Airbnb revenue was produced in 2024. This is a fully furnished 4 bed, 2 bath Mesquite home with a single-story layout, stainless appliances, granite counters, hotel-style furnishings, and a pool. The buyer has flexibility, keep the current long-term rental setup for stable income or bring it back to Airbnb and pursue the proven six-figure revenue history. This is a rare setup near Dallas with multiple exit paths already in place.

4) San Marcos Texas State University 1% Rule Deal, $375K
Asset Quality B | Neighborhood Quality B | Year Built 1999
$3750 per month, based on previous rents of $1875 per side. This is a San Marcos student rental duplex with two 3 bed, 3.5 bath units, washer and dryer in each unit, fenced yards, large 2 car garages, low-maintenance finishes, and a location on the Texas State University bus route. The property was recently vacated, the seller is willing to lease it before closing, which means an out-of-state buyer could walk into a fully leased property near a major university. I think this will sell around $375K, making it a true 1% rule duplex in a high-growth I-35 corridor market.
