As of August 2026, we analyzed 702 active for-sale homes in Tomball, Texas. The typical listing is priced at $405,000 and is projected to generate about $44,240 a year as a short-term rental.

After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 31.6% 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 Tomball #166 of 200 for cash-flow potential.

On market momentum: homes in Tomball sit a median of 39 days on the market, and 39% of active listings came on in just the last 30 days — a fast-moving 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 — Tomball 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.

What actually works in Tomball

Cash-flow is the exception rather than the rule in Tomball right now: 47 of the 549 Tomball homes, condos and townhomes we can price confidently clear a DSCR of 1.25. Nine in ten of them are priced under $317,000.

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	3 bed	4 bed	5 bed
$150k–$250k	44%1.18	—	—
$250k–$350k	12%0.98	27%1.05	—
$350k–$500k	0%0.76	0%0.78	5%1.06
$500k+	0%0.50	0%0.53	0%0.61

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