Market Analysis: 75941 Diboll

The 75941 ZIP in Diboll, TX is a local-operator market. Outside capital chasing a $172K entry has to pair deep knowledge with the discount.

On balance, the numbers look inviting — $172K purchase price, 0.0% nominal cap — the work to hit that pro forma in 75941 is substantial and deserves full respect.

Nearby ZIPs in Diboll have seen price recovery that 75941 has not matched. Angelina County data supports the view that the spread is structural rather than temporary.

A solid renter share of 23% in 75941 is not, on its own, a problem — but paired with below-average income and high mobility, it changes the operating playbook.

The 75941 ZIP fits a narrow investor profile — hands-on, patient, and willing to accept that the cap rate on paper is not the cap rate in reality.

Negative Leverage — IRR / Tax Play Cap Rate: 4.0%  |  30yr Rate: 6.8%
Leverage reduces cash returns at current rates.

The current 30-yr mortgage rate (6.8%) exceeds the estimated cap rate (4.0%). Financing reduces your cash-on-cash return below the cap rate. Markets like this may still make sense as IRR plays — factoring in appreciation, depreciation, and a future refinance when rates drop.

About Repit School Scores

Traditional school ratings rely heavily on standardized test scores, which often reflect family income more than school quality. Repit takes a different approach.

We evaluate schools based on factors that research shows actually impact educational outcomes:

  • Class Size — Smaller classes mean more individual attention
  • School Funding — Resources available for programs, staff, and facilities
  • Community Factors — Neighborhood characteristics that influence student success
  • School Environment — Size, type, and structure

Scores are updated annually using federal education data.
