High variable property taxes that resets each year in Texas?

Question about the high variable property tax rates that "resets" every year in Texas. My strategy is long-term buy-n-hold for SFHs. Investors in Texas have been passing this variable property tax increases on to tenants for the past years. If rent growth will be flat for 5-8 years, curious to know how other investors here are addressing this?

I haven't seen SFH tax increase based off rent, but based on sale prices. While rental and sales value growth aren't always connected, you usually don't see housing values skyrocket with rent going flat, so if rent does goes flat (which i don't see happening for a while) you should be safe.

Always enjoy talking to other investors, message me if you would like to talk further.
