For Out-of-State Families 致外州家庭

The Texas Tuition Play: turn one property purchase into six-figure college savings.

德州学费策略:一套房产,省下六位数大学学费。

Out-of-state families pay up to 4× the in-state rate at Texas public universities. A property purchase in Austin, paired with the right residency-establishment plan, can support qualifying for in-state tuition by year two — and leave your family with an appreciating asset when school ends.

外州家庭在德州公立大学支付的学费,可以高达本州学生的4 倍。在奥斯汀购置一套房产,配合规范的居民身份建立方案,孩子从大二起即可申请本州学费——四年下来,您不仅省下学费,更留下一份持续增值的资产。

UT Austin out-of-state ($45,300/yr) vs. in-state ($11,700/yr) over 4 years.1 Your family keeps the difference — and the property.
以德州大学奥斯汀分校(UT Austin)为例:外州学费每年约 $45,300,本州每年约 $11,700,四年差额约 $133,200。1 这笔钱留在您家里,房产也继续增值。
The Mechanism 操作逻辑

How a single Austin condo can support in-state qualification.

一套奥斯汀公寓,如何支撑本州身份申请。

Texas residency for tuition purposes is established under the Texas Education Code and the THECB rules. Property ownership is one of the strongest "intent to remain" signals — when paired with the right plan.

德州学费身份认定依据《德州教育法》及德州高等教育协调委员会(THECB)规定。在所有"长期居留意图"证据中,房产持有是最有力的支撑之一——前提是配合完整规划。

01

Establish 12 months of physical presence in Texas.

建立 12 个月连续居住记录。

Your student (or the family's primary domicile-holder) must live in Texas for a continuous 12 months before enrollment. A property in Austin gives that residency a verifiable address.

孩子(或家庭主要居所持有人)须在入学前于德州连续居住满 12 个月。奥斯汀的房产为这段居住记录提供一个可核实的地址。

Year 0 — Before Enrollment 第 0 年 · 入学前
02

Build the "intent to remain" file.

建立"长期居留"档案。

Texas DL, voter registration, vehicle registration, full-time Texas employment or self-employment, and — critically — Texas real property ownership. The more boxes checked, the cleaner the application.

德州驾照、选民登记、车辆注册、全职就业或自雇经营,以及——最关键的——德州不动产所有权。证据越多,申请越顺畅。

Year 0–1 — Documentation 第 0–1 年 · 资料准备
03

Apply for in-state status. Save from Year 2 onward.

申请本州身份,从大二开始省钱。

After year one, students typically pay out-of-state once, then in-state for years 2–4 — recovering the investment in tuition savings while the property continues to appreciate.

典型情况下,孩子大一按外州学费支付一年,大二至大四即可享受本州学费——学费节省可覆盖前期投入,房产同期持续增值。

Year 2–4 — Compounding Returns 第 2–4 年 · 复合收益

Texas residency for tuition purposes is governed by Texas Education Code §54.052 and Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board rules. Establishing residency requires more than property ownership alone — it requires demonstrated 12-month physical presence, financial independence (in some cases), and documented intent to remain. Real International does not guarantee in-state tuition qualification; eligibility is determined by each university's admissions and residency office. We coordinate with licensed Texas attorneys and tax professionals on residency planning. Real estate purchases involve risk including market fluctuation. This is not legal, tax, or investment advice — consult qualified professionals before acting.

德州学费身份认定依据《德州教育法》第 54.052 条及德州高等教育协调委员会(THECB)相关规定。仅持有房产并不足以建立身份——须同时满足 12 个月连续居住、财务独立(部分情况)、并有充分的长期居留意图证据。华奥地产无法保证本州学费资格的最终获批;最终决定权在各大学招生与居民身份认定办公室。我们的居民身份规划由德州持牌律师及税务专业人士协助进行。地产投资存在市场波动等风险。本页面内容不构成法律、税务或投资建议——请在采取任何行动前咨询专业人士。
