Fulshear, TX Rental Market for Investors
An estimated 25% of Fulshear's active listings could cash-flow as a short-term rental — here's what the numbers say for investors, as of August 2026.
As of August 2026, we analyzed 781 active for-sale homes in Fulshear, Texas. The typical listing is priced at $489,500 and is projected to generate about $45,812 a year as a short-term rental.
After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 24.9% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — below the 52.5% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Fulshear #179 of 200 for cash-flow potential.
On market momentum: homes in Fulshear sit a median of 48 days on the market, and 35% 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 — Fulshear runs tighter once operating costs are accounted for: many listings need a below-median price, a stronger short-term-rental setup, or more money down before the income covers the payment. It's a market where running the numbers property-by-property matters.
