Quick answer
DSCR Loans Georgia is a brand of Loan Daddy LLC, a licensed mortgage broker. We arrange business-purpose DSCR loans for non-owner-occupied investment property in Georgia: single-family rentals, 1–4 unit properties, condominiums, townhomes, short-term rentals and portfolio structures. Loan amounts are sized by the property’s rent against its full monthly obligation. We are not a lender, rates are set by the wholesale lender, and every loan is subject to underwriting and lender approval.
Underwritten on the rent, not the W-2
The coverage test is the property’s rent against its full monthly obligation. That is why self-employed investors with heavy write-offs can still buy, and why we start every conversation with the address rather than with your tax return.
We shop it across wholesale lenders
We are a mortgage broker. That means one file can go to several lenders with different coverage floors, rent assumptions and property rules — and you see the actual terms in writing before you commit to anything.
County taxes, appeals, LLC vesting, STR rules
A tenant-occupied duplex in Macon and a licensed short-term rental in Savannah are different files. We work in the Georgia details: parcel-level tax figures, the 45-day appeal window, entity vesting and local rental ordinances.
Straight answers about coverage
If the ratio does not clear, we will tell you the down payment or price at which it would — with the arithmetic shown. A hopeful application that ends in a declined file is the most expensive thing we could sell you.
Four steps, and none of them is a surprise
A business-purpose file is read from the property outward, not from your W-2 inward. Here is what actually happens.
Send the address and the rent
A two-minute form. The address, the price or current balance, what you expect it to rent for, and which entity will hold title.
We model the coverage
Taxes from the county parcel record, insurance at a realistic premium, HOA dues if any, and the rent the appraisal can support. You get the ratio and the weak point.
File, appraisal, terms
If the deal clears, we package the file, order the appraisal, and put the lender’s terms in front of you in writing before you sign anything.
Close, vest, and lease it
Georgia attorneys close Georgia property, title vests to your entity, and you own a rental financed on its own numbers rather than on yours.
What we arrange for Georgia investors
Every one of these is business-purpose debt for non-owner-occupied property, sized by the property’s own coverage ratio.

Where our investors buy
Coverage ratios move with county tax bills, insurance premiums and rent depth. These market pages explain what is different about each one, in plain Georgia terms.

Atlanta is the deepest rental market in Georgia, so DSCR deals here usually stand or fall on three metro-specific items: very different county tax bills between neighbo…

Georgia investor guide
Assessment ratios and appeals, non-judicial foreclosure, HOA-heavy suburbs, short-term rental rules and LLC vesting — the Georgia context behind every file.
Market commentary is a general benchmark, not a DSCR loan rate or offer, and not a promise about any specific property. Sources named on these pages were reviewed October 2026; no figures from them are quoted here, so check the current release of each source before you rely on it.
Run the coverage ratio yourself, before you make an offer
The calculator takes rent, taxes, insurance, HOA dues, loan amount and the rate you were offered, then returns the ratio and a plain-English reading of it. The rate field starts blank on purpose — we do not publish rates, and a prefilled number would look like a quote.
- Numerator
- Monthly rent — a lease, or the appraiser’s market rent opinion
- Denominator
- Principal & interest, plus taxes, insurance and HOA dues
- What it is not
- Not a cash-flow statement — most programs do not deduct vacancy or maintenance
- Who sets the floor
- The lender, per program. We shop those programs for you.
Questions investors ask first
Can I use one of your loans for a home I plan to live in?
No. Our programs are for non-owner-occupied investment property only. If you or a family member will occupy the property — including living in one unit of a duplex — that request belongs with a licensed consumer mortgage professional, and we will say so rather than take the file further.
What interest rate will I be offered?
Rates are set by the wholesale lender, not by us and not by this website, and they move with market conditions. The rate you are offered depends on the loan amount, the property type, the coverage ratio, the reserves available, your credit profile and the lender’s appetite at the time. We will shop the scenario across multiple lenders and show you the terms you are actually offered in writing before you commit.
How are Georgia property taxes calculated on a rental?
Georgia assesses most property at 40% of fair market value and applies county, city and school millage rates to that assessed value. Because values and millage differ by county and city, two similar properties a few miles apart can carry materially different bills. Pull the parcel record for the address rather than using an average.
Are you a lender?
No. DSCR Loans Georgia is a brand of Loan Daddy LLC, which is a licensed mortgage broker. We arrange and place financing with wholesale lenders on our approved list; we do not fund loans from our own balance sheet. The lender or investor that funds the loan makes the final underwriting decision.
Send us the address and the rent
We will tell you which programs the file clears, what the coverage ratio looks like at the loan amount you want, and what would have to change if it does not clear. Business-purpose loans for non-owner-occupied investment property only.
