As of October 2026, we analyzed 1,917 active for-sale homes in Conroe, Texas. The typical listing is priced at $346,107 and is projected to generate about $37,616 a year as a short-term rental.
After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 54.5% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — roughly in line with the 53.1% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Conroe #93 of 200 for cash-flow potential.
On market momentum: homes in Conroe sit a median of 59 days on the market, and 29% of active listings came on in just the last 30 days — a steadily paced market, which shapes how much room there is to negotiate.
For a DSCR loan — which qualifies on the property's rental income rather than your personal income — that's a relatively healthy setup: in Conroe, a meaningful share of listings throw off enough short-term-rental income, after costs, to cover an estimated investor mortgage payment.
