Investment Property in Sendero Springs: what's different here
A rental in Sendero Springs is a business decision that happens to come with a kitchen. For a Sendero Springs rental, the Brushy Creek MUD tax and the pool and trail access both shape what a tenant pays and what you keep.
Texas has no state income tax, but property taxes are high, so the tax bill and insurance often decide whether a rental works.

Why Sendero Springs buyers work with me
I've lived in Northwest Austin since 1976, and much of my recent business has been along the Parmer and 183 corridors as buyers follow the jobs north. My wife, Heather, and I own short-term rentals ourselves, in Spokane and Punta de Mita, so I look at a property the way an owner does. Sendero Springs is outside Round Rock city limits in the Brushy Creek MUD, so compare the full tax rate, not only the price, against homes inside the city.
