As of October 2026, we analyzed 3,727 active for-sale homes in Fort Worth, Texas. The typical listing is priced at $355,499 and is projected to generate about $48,265 a year as a short-term rental.

After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 67.5% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — well above the 53.1% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Fort Worth #34 of 200 for cash-flow potential.

On market momentum: homes in Fort Worth sit a median of 60 days on the market, and 27% 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 Fort Worth, a meaningful share of listings throw off enough short-term-rental income, after costs, to cover an estimated investor mortgage payment.

What actually works in Fort Worth

Fort Worth works for investors, but the window is specific: 1,113 of the 3,078 Fort Worth homes, condos and townhomes we can price confidently clear a DSCR of 1.25. Nine in ten of them are priced under $357,000.

Share of those listings clearing an DSCR of 1.25, by price and bedroom count. The smaller figure is the median DSCR for that group.
Price	1 bed	2 bed	3 bed	4 bed	5 bed
$150k–$250k	8%1.08	68%1.37	96%1.59	92%1.56	—
$250k–$350k	0%0.72	13%1.05	56%1.28	60%1.30	62%1.32

$500k+	—	0%0.60	0%0.65	0%0.72	3%0.76

Darker means a larger share of that group cash-flows. “—” means fewer than 8 active listings — too few to draw a conclusion from.
