Georgia Rental Market Snapshot
State-level data DSCR underwriters use to size Georgia rental deals.
Georgia — and Atlanta in particular — is one of the most-funded SFR-rental markets in the country. Non-judicial foreclosure plus no rent control plus strong in-migration produce reliable DSCR coverage. Atlanta's Westside, South Fulton, and Gwinnett submarkets see the highest deal flow. Investors should note Athens and Savannah have local STR registration regimes — verify before relying on nightly-rate income.
Major Georgia Markets We Fund
Active DSCR deal flow across Georgia's core rental markets. Same requirements — 1.2 DSCR, 680+ FICO, 20–25% down — apply statewide.
| Metro | Median Price | Gross Yield | DSCR Investor Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Atlanta | $385K | 5.5–7.0% | Largest DSCR market in the Southeast — institutional SFR competition, deep deal flow |
| Savannah | $345K | 5.5–7.5% | Historic-district STR market, downtown registration cap limits new STR supply |
| Augusta | $215K | 8.0–10.0% | Highest gross yields in GA, military rental demand from Fort Eisenhower |
| Athens | $305K | 6.5–8.0% | UGA student housing — verify lease cycles align with DSCR underwriting |
Georgia Eviction Timeline & Landlord Posture
How Georgia courts handle non-payment evictions — material to DSCR loss-severity assumptions.
Georgia's dispossessory action allows eviction filings 7 days after a written demand. Non-payment hearings typically scheduled 7–14 days after answer. Atlanta tribunal calendar moves faster than most metros.
Georgia Rate Adjustment vs National Baseline
Non-judicial foreclosure and no rent control keep loss severity below national average; Atlanta MSA pricing tracks national jumbo curves.
Final pricing depends on FICO, LTV, DSCR, property type, and program. Baseline national DSCR refi rates start at 6.25% as of May 2026.
