Local FAQ

Conventional Investment in Longview, answered.

Do Longview-area prices fit a conventional loan?
Yes, across the whole metro. Zillow's July 2026 mid-tier values ran from $166,238 in Marshall to $297,029 in Hallsville, with Longview at $234,128, and every submarket in the set sits comfortably under conforming loan limits. At the low end the loan itself is small: an 80% loan on Marshall's mid-tier value is about $132,990 ($166,238 x 0.80), our arithmetic. Check loan-size minimums with us at the low price points; our DSCR program starts at $100K, which is the comparison to run.
When does conventional beat DSCR on a Longview rental?
When your income documents cleanly and you plan a long hold. Conventional is usually the lowest-cost long-term money for a buy-and-hold, in exchange for full documentation. DSCR qualifies on the property's cash flow instead, which fits a borrower whose income is uneven or write-off heavy. With gross yields near 6.0% in Longview ($1,177 x 12 / $234,128) and higher in Kilgore and Marshall, we run both structures on your file and show you the difference. Subject to underwriting.
What does the owner's title policy cost at a Longview price?
The same at every title company, because Texas fixes the premium. Under the schedule effective March 1, 2026, a policy above $100,000 costs $780 plus $0.00494 per dollar over $100,000. On a $234,128 policy that is about $1,443 (($234,128 - $100,000) x 0.00494 + $780), our arithmetic on TDI's formula and an illustration, not a quote. Recording a 6-page deed of trust costs $45 in either Gregg or Harrison County ($25 first page + 5 x $4), per their posted schedules. Ask your title company for the full closing statement.

What taxes and insurance should a Longview buy-and-hold budget?
The full property tax stack and a roof-focused hail and wind policy. Investment property gets no homestead exemption or cap; on 2025 rates the stack is 1.996131 per $100 in Longview ISD, 2.121030 in Spring Hill ISD, and 1.395234 in Hallsville. Gregg CAD began a residential reappraisal in July 2026 that runs to March 2027. Neither Gregg nor Harrison County is on TWIA's eligibility list, so there is no coastal wind-pool exposure, but we could not source a county average premium, so get a bound quote on the property. Talk to your CPA and insurance agent.
Does Texas tax rental income at the state level?
No, Texas has no individual income tax. That means a Longview rental's net income is not reduced by a state income tax, which helps the hold math on gross yields of roughly 6% to 9% in the core submarkets. It does not remove federal tax, and Texas recovers revenue through property tax and a franchise tax on entities. Talk to your CPA about your own position.

About the local figures on this page

Local rules move. Every tax rate, fee, ordinance and market figure here comes from a primary source and carries the date we read it, and we correct them as the rules change. Where a number is mid-change or we could not verify it, we say so rather than guess. Before you commit a budget, confirm anything that drives it with the city or county, and talk to your attorney or CPA on questions of law or tax.

Published by USA Mortgage Funding, LLC, NMLS #152588. Researched from primary sources by our team, drafted with AI assistance, and every figure checked against its source before publishing. Where an answer rests on a public record, that record is linked under it. Figures read on 2026-09-04.
