Sized to the Georgia market: the typical Georgia home is worth about $330,817 and a starter home about $196,584 (Zillow Home Value Index, August 2026). Single family homes sold in a median of 47 days with 3.7 months of supply (Redfin, May 2026). So the example buys at about two thirds of the typical value, budgets a mid-range rehab and resells at the typical value.

Estimates on Capital Kings terms as of October 2026. Cash to close includes down payment, origination, broker fee, the lender's own fees (processing, underwriting, legal or doc prep), title, prepaid interest, insurance and appraisal. Rehab is funded 100% through draws on every program.

New construction in Georgia Full construction guide

Ground-up single family to small multifamily, 12-18 month interest-only terms, lot and vertical funded together. First-time builders qualify at 650+ credit on Lower Fees (680+ on the Financed Interest Reserve) with a general contractor who has 5+ completed builds. Pick the structure that fits your cash:

Lower Fees. About 2 points and no reserve in the loan; you pay the interest monthly from the first draw.

Experience	Max loan	Completed-value cap	Lot advance	Rate	Origination
GC-backed first build	85% of total cost	65% of completed value	70% of lot cost	11.49%	2%
1-4 builds	85% of total cost	70% of completed value	75% of lot cost	10.49%	2%
5+ builds	90% of total cost	75% of completed value	80% of lot cost	9.99%	2%

Financed Interest Reserve. Your first months of interest are financed as part of the loan rather than paid out of pocket: the loan carries an interest reserve of six months of fully drawn interest, so your payments are covered while you build, up to 95% of cost with the reserve counted. $1,995 underwriting and $1,495 processing on top of origination, and 60% of the lot until permits are in. This structure needs 680+ credit and liquid funds of about 10% of the build budget plus fees.

Experience	Max loan, reserve included	Completed-value cap	Lot advance	Rate	Origination
GC-backed first build	90% of total cost	70% of completed value	70% of lot cost	9.50%	3%
1-4 builds	95% of total cost	75% of completed value	70% of lot cost	9.50%	3%
5+ builds	95% of total cost	75% of completed value	75% of lot cost	8.49%	3%

Both structures also carry our 1% broker fee ($2,000 minimum), itemized on the term sheet with every lender fee.

Purchase only (no rehab) in Georgia Purchase-only guide

Buying a property that does not need work, or handling the rehab yourself: 12.5% down, 9.75%, 1% origination for a first deal at 740 credit.

Georgia Lending FAQ

Do you lend hard money loans in Georgia?

Yes. Capital Kings brokers hard money, DSCR, bridge, and fix-and-flip loans across Georgia through our 400+ lender network. We close Georgia flips in as little as 72 hours.

What cities in Georgia does Capital Kings lend in?

We broker investor loans statewide in Georgia, with active deal flow in Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Columbus, Macon and the surrounding metros.

Do you offer DSCR rental loans in Georgia?

Yes. DSCR loans qualify the property on rental income (not your personal W-2), and we broker DSCR rentals across Georgia on single-family, 2-4 unit, and small multifamily properties. Including short-term rentals where projected Airbnb income is allowed.

How fast can a Georgia hard money loan close?

As little as 72 hours. Most Georgia fix-and-flip deals fund in 5-14 days once the file is complete, and the 72-hour programs close that fast when title and insurance are ready.

What's the minimum down payment for a Georgia fix-and-flip loan?

As of October 2026 in Georgia: 10% down (of purchase plus rehab) on a first flip from 680 credit at 9.99%, and 15% down at 700+ credit for our best rate, 8.99% to 9.49%. Investors with 2+ completed flips in the last two years and about $75,000 in verified liquidity can go to 0% down (100% financing) at 620+ credit, 9.50% to 12.00%, when purchase plus rehab fits under 70% of ARV. Closing costs are still paid in cash. Rehab is 100% funded through draws on every Georgia program.

What credit score do I need for a Georgia hard money loan?

680+ for the 10% down program, 700+ for the best-rate program, and 660+ for a DSCR rental loan. Our fastest-close program has no minimum score. First flips are welcome in Georgia with no completed deals required; completed flips unlock the programs with less than 10% down.

Can I do a DSCR cash-out refinance on a Georgia rental?

Yes. Cash-out DSCR loans in Georgia go up to 75% of appraised value at 700+ credit, 70% at 680 and 60% at 660. Rates start at 7.12% on a 30-year fixed for a 760+ borrower, minimum 1.00 DSCR, 6 months of reserves, no tax returns.

Do you finance new construction in Georgia for a first-time builder?

Yes, as long as a general contractor with 5+ completed builds builds it. A first build in Georgia comes in at 11.49% with 85% of total project cost financed, capped at 65% of completed value, 650+ credit. After one completed build the loan moves to 85% of cost at 10.49%, and 5+ builds get 75% of completed value at 9.99%. With a financed interest reserve built into the loan (680+ credit), a GC-backed first build or one completed build prices at 9.50% and 5+ builds from 8.49%, 3% origination plus lender fees. Both structures add our 1% broker fee ($2,000 minimum).
