As of August 2026, we analyzed 749 active for-sale homes in Round Rock, Texas. The typical listing is priced at $444,900 and is projected to generate about $47,894 a year as a short-term rental.
After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 51.9% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — roughly in line with the 52.5% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Round Rock #104 of 200 for cash-flow potential.
On market momentum: homes in Round Rock sit a median of 55 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 — Round Rock 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.
