Talk through a propertyHow El Paso deals
actually look
El Paso County offers investor inventory dominated by single-family rentals, duplexes, and small apartments at price points well below DFW or Austin. Large institutional multifamily is thinner, so many deals land in residential or small multifamily DSCR lanes.
Property taxes still apply and reassess after purchase. Capituro underwrites El Paso properties on program splits by unit count and property type, with realistic tax and insurance loaded into DSCR.

What investors own here
Workforce single-family rentals
East, northeast, and west El Paso neighborhoods contain 1970s to 1990s rentals often purchased between $140K and $260K. Loan sizing is driven by leverage targets and DSCR minimums as much as purchase price.
Duplex and fourplex
Older duplex stock near central corridors and Fort Bliss-adjacent areas is common entry product. Four units max fits 1 to 4 Unit DSCR.
Small apartments and retail
Limited 6 to 15 unit buildings and neighborhood retail along Mesa and Montana corridors. Multifamily routes by unit count. Retail fits Commercial DSCR.

Program detailsWhat slows deals here
Price points versus DSCR minimums
Affordable purchase prices may sit below typical minimum loan sizes. Investors may need higher leverage, multiple properties, or larger buildings to reach program floors.
Tax reassessment on lower-cost deals
Even modest purchase prices trigger appraisal district review. Model the post-sale tax bill before comparing El Paso cash flow to other Texas markets.
Thin market above 10 units
Fewer 11+ unit buildings mean investors may need residential or small multifamily programs rather than assuming large apartment debt exists locally.
