Why a DSCR loan fits Georgia investors
Georgia market snapshot
Atlanta's growth, Savannah's tourism, and several large military installations keep rental demand steady, with moderate property taxes. Georgia closings run through an attorney, and local short-term-rental rules differ from city to city, especially in Savannah.
Why DSCR fits
Strong tenant demand and plenty of single-family rentals make it easy to find properties that rent well enough to meet DSCR, with no cap on financed properties. We coordinate with your closing attorney and use the real county and school-district tax figures.

Answers
Georgia DSCR loan FAQ
What is a DSCR loan in Georgia?
A DSCR loan in Georgia qualifies you on the rental income of the property instead of your personal income. We divide the monthly rent by the full monthly payment (principal, interest, taxes, insurance and any HOA). No W-2s, tax returns or employment verification are required.
What DSCR ratio do I need for a Georgia rental?
Most lenders look for 1.0x or higher. Our program accepts a DSCR as low as 0.75x with compensating factors such as reserves, which can help in Georgia markets where taxes, insurance or HOA dues are high compared with rent.
How much can I borrow on a Georgia investment property?
Up to 85% LTV on a purchase for strong borrower profiles, and typically 75 to 80% on a cash-out refinance. The maximum depends on credit score, DSCR, property type and loan size.
What credit score is needed for a DSCR loan in Georgia?
A minimum 620 FICO score is accepted. Higher scores earn better pricing, with the best rates generally reserved for 720 and above.
Can I buy Georgia rental property in an LLC or as a foreign national?
Yes. You can close in an LLC or other entity, and foreign nationals and first-time investors are welcome. An attorney or tax advisor can help you choose the right structure.
How fast can I close a DSCR loan in Georgia?
As fast as 14 days with a complete file. Appraisal scheduling, title work and insurance quotes are the usual timing factors.
Can I use a DSCR loan for a short-term rental in Georgia?
Yes, where short-term rentals are allowed. Check local zoning, licensing and HOA rules for the specific city before you buy, because rules differ from one municipality to the next.
