Updated 2026 · Based on median market data for Durant, OK
Durant sits in the South with a population of 50,000 growing at 0.9% annually. The median home costs $225,000 while rents average $1,460/mo, producing an estimated cap rate of 5.66%. This is a moderate market that rewards careful deal sourcing.
Durant works best for experienced investors with a clear strategy — Section 8, student housing, or deep value-add rehabs. The 5.66% cap rate at median prices is tight, so success depends on buying below market, forcing appreciation through renovation, or accessing above-market rent streams through niche tenant bases.
Target properties priced 15-25% below the $225,000 median — around $180,000 or less. At this price point with $1,460/mo rents, your cap rate improves to roughly 7.5%. Factor in 0.88% property taxes ($1,980/yr), budget 5% of gross rent for maintenance, and underwrite to a 5.8% vacancy rate. On a 20% down conventional loan at 7%, monthly PITI will run approximately $1,462.
