Property in McAllen Texas

Hello,

I am interested in a property in McAllen Texas. It is a brick and concrete single story building built in 2011.

From doing some general searches on the city it seems to go through some very severe weather. Major storms and flooding. 

Do any of you have any experience in this area or have any insights to how real of a risk this is in McAllen? 

Thank you for any input!

    Hi Devin, I’ve lived in the McAllen area for the past 13 years. I would say we do not suffer from extreme weather- at least not on a regular basis. We did have some heavy rains back in June and some neighborhoods flooded (to a certain degree, like 3-5 inches may have come into some homes). In 2012 we had a bad hail storm  that did some heavy damage particular areas. But the good news is those houses got new roofs among other items. So in a nutshell I wouldn’t worry about the weather if you’re investing down here. It’s just mostly hot! Good luck and if you’d like to visit more about the area, just let me know.
