Apartment / condo [P]Probability-based. Building type is estimated.
What does [P] mean? Address and location are real public data. Anything marked [P] is a probability-based estimate generated for a typical home like this one – not a record about this exact property. Hover or tap [P] to see how each value is estimated.

First look at the property
This is an apartment / condo in Sweeny, Brazoria County, with an estimated value of $134,000 [P]Probability-based. Probability-based estimate for a typical home like this one. It is not taken from any register or record about this specific property. and about 810 sq ft of living area. Below is a short read of what speaks for and against it, based on the data on this page.
Strengths
- Built in 2002, newer than most homes in Sweeny, so roof, plumbing and wiring are less likely to be at the end of their life.
- Appraised value and building facts come from the BCAD county record, not from a model.
- Plumbing / electrical risk looks low on the available data.
Weaknesses
- Property tax of about $2,510 per year ($209 per month) is a large running cost.
- Modeled cash flow is negative with 25% down: –$835 per month.
- Cap rate of -1.2 % is low compared with typical mortgage rates.
- HOA dues, special assessments and title issues are not known and must be checked.
Working hypothesis: this looks like a better fit for an owner-occupier than for an investor focused on cash flow. That is a starting point, not a conclusion; the sections below show the numbers behind it.

Methodology (TX-model v1.1 · 2026-10-12): when no county record is used, estimated living area × a city-level price per sq ft × age factor × a property-level seeded variation, cross-checked against size- and age-adjusted nearby comparable values. Sale prices, listings and assessments from county records are not connected, so every number on this page that is not marked “OSM” is a modeled estimate [P].
Estimated value [P]Probability-based. No sale price or appraisal is used. The estimate multiplies the estimated living area by a typical price per square foot for the city, adjusted for age. Treat it as a rough guess.

Rental analysis
- Market rent range
- $855 – $1,045 / month [P]Probability-based. Modeled from typical rent per sq ft for the city and property type. Asking rents are not collected rents.
- Long-term rental
- Standard 12-month lease assumed
- Short-term rental (STR)
- Possible with local registration/permit [P]Probability-based. Texas cities set their own short-term rental rules, including licensing, occupancy limits and zones. Verify with the city (Sweeny) and your HOA before assuming STR income.
- Vacancy and concessions
- 6 % vacancy · 1 % concessions [P]Probability-based. Typical underwriting assumptions; adjust in the Financial model.
- NOI (base case)
- –$1,656 / year [P]Probability-based. After vacancy, taxes, insurance, HOA, 8% management, maintenance and admin. Before debt service and income tax.
- Cap rate
- -1.2 % [P]Probability-based. NOI ÷ estimated value ($134,000). The denominator is the modeled value, not a purchase price.
- Break-even occupancy
- 181 % [P]Probability-based. Occupancy needed to cover operating costs, debt service and capex reserves.
Rent comps: nearby modeled rents are not available; rent benchmarks would come from HUD Fair Market Rents and licensed rental feeds. Treat the range as an estimate.
Rental comparables [P]Probability-based. Modeled from nearby properties of the same type. Advertised rent is not achieved rent or a signed lease.
| Address | Rent / mo | Characteristics | Built | Distance | Date | Source type |

Median nearby rent $3,225 vs this property’s estimate $950 (–70.5 %): the estimate differs from nearby comparables – verify before relying on it.
True cost of ownership [P]Probability-based. Every line is a modeled estimate shown as a low – base – high range because taxes, insurance and maintenance are uncertain.
What will this property actually cost per month? Pick how you will use it and change any assumption. Ranges widen where the input is most uncertain.
An automated estimate is not an appraisal, inspection, insurance quote or lender approval. Actual loan terms depend on the borrower.
Property tax scenarios [P]Probability-based. Texas property taxes are local, so your bill will not simply copy the current owner’s. These scenarios use assumed tax rates and appraisal behavior.
Model what a buyer may pay, separately for an owner-occupant with a homestead exemption and for an investor. The current owner’s modeled bill is shown for contrast.
Rules used: homestead exemption applies to the school-district part of the rate for a qualifying primary residence; homestead appraisal growth is capped at 10% per year after the first year; non-homestead property may have a separate cap (verify current law and your county). The exemption does not apply automatically to investment property. Verify rates, exemptions and caps with the county appraisal district and the Texas Comptroller.
Property tax protest support
- Deadline: generally May 15 or 30 days after the notice of appraised value is mailed, whichever is later – confirm the date on your notice.
- Check the appraisal district’s record of your property (area, year built, condition, exemptions) for errors.
- Gather evidence: comparable assessments and sales, photos of defects, repair estimates.
- Compare your assessed value per sq ft with similar nearby homes (this property’s modeled value: $165 per sq ft).
- A protest does not guarantee a reduction.
Insurance and hazard intelligence [P]Probability-based. Premium ranges are modeled from value, age and city-level hazard. They are not quotes. Actual premiums depend on claims history, roof, coverage and insurer.
| Coverage | Estimated range (modeled) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Homeowners (dwelling $122,000) | $798 – $1,710 / yr | Base $1,140 |
| Wind / hail deductible | 1 % – 2 % of dwelling coverage | Common in Texas policies; check your policy |
| Flood (separate policy) | $600 – $2,000 / yr | NFIP or private; homeowners policies exclude flood |
| Named-storm coverage | Often separate in coastal counties | Ask the agent |

Quote checklist
- Ask for the CLUE report of the property and seller’s claims history.
- Get quotes from at least three insurers/agents, with the same coverage and deductibles.
- Confirm roof age/material, and whether hail damage is excluded or cosmetic-only.
- Ask about wind/hail and named-storm deductibles.
- Check flood zone on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center and get a flood quote.
- Confirm whether the Texas FAIR Plan / TWIA applies (coastal areas).

- NOI = effective gross income − operating expenses (no debt service, no income tax).
- Cap rate = NOI ÷ price.
- Cash flow = NOI − debt service − capex reserve.
- Cash-on-cash = annual pre-tax cash flow ÷ cash invested (down payment + closing + repairs + reserves + points/fees).
- DSCR = NOI ÷ annual debt service.
- Break-even occupancy = (operating costs + debt service + reserve) ÷ potential gross income.

Overall assessment
As a home for your own use
Estimated cost of owning is about $1,631 per month with 20% down at 6.75%, including property tax, insurance, HOA and maintenance. The relatively recent build year is a plus. Compare the price with recent sales of similar homes in Sweeny before you decide.
As a leveraged rental
Base case gross yield is 8.5 %, cap rate -1.2 % and cash flow –$835 per month with 25% down. With these assumptions the property does not pay for itself, so a lower price, higher rent or a larger down payment would be needed. Change any assumption in the financial model above to test it.
Largest open questions
- The real market value: confirm with sold comparables and, if buying, an appraisal.
- The tax level after purchase: homestead exemptions and reassessment change the bill.
- The insurance quote: hail, wind and flood cover can differ a lot between addresses.
- Technical condition: foundation, roof and HVAC need a physical inspection.
Method and limits: this is a desk analysis from public records, map data and stated assumptions. Items marked [P] are probability-based estimates. It is not an appraisal, inspection or legal advice.
