As of August 2026, we analyzed 872 active for-sale homes in Tyler, Texas. The typical listing is priced at $349,500 and is projected to generate about $37,998 a year as a short-term rental.

After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 58.2% 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 Tyler #77 of 200 for cash-flow potential.

On market momentum: homes in Tyler sit a median of 66 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 Tyler, 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 Tyler

Tyler works for investors, but the window is specific: 224 of the 681 Tyler homes, condos and townhomes we can price confidently clear a DSCR of 1.25. Nine in ten of them are priced under $335,000.

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	2 bed	3 bed	4 bed	5 bed
$150k–$250k	56%1.36	95%1.61	100%1.69	—
$250k–$350k	11%1.01	33%1.18	17%1.16	—

$500k+	—	0%0.58	0%0.60	5%0.57

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