Tips for buying on the island and in the Valley

Price the insurance early

Coastal homes can need windstorm and flood coverage. Get quotes before you write an offer so there are no surprises at closing.

Read the condo documents

On the island, HOA budgets, reserves and rental rules vary a lot from building to building. Review them during your option period.

Check rental rules

Planning to rent it out part of the year? Confirm the city and HOA short-term rental rules for that exact property first.

Compare Valley tax rates

Property tax rates differ between McAllen, Mission and Edinburg, and by school district. Factor them into your monthly payment.
