Mortgage calculator questions

How much is a monthly mortgage payment in the RGV?

It depends on the price, your down payment, your rate, and local property taxes — which vary by city. Use the calculator above with your numbers, or a nearby city, to get a real estimate in seconds.

Why are Rio Grande Valley property taxes higher?

Texas has no state income tax, so property taxes carry more of the load for schools, cities and counties. Combined rates across the RGV typically run around 2%–2.3% of appraised value, though a homestead exemption can lower what you actually owe.

How much down payment do I need?

Putting down 20% avoids private mortgage insurance (PMI), but plenty of buyers put down far less through conventional, FHA or VA financing. We’ll connect you with a lender to see what you actually qualify for.
