Savannah pairs one of the country's largest historic districts with one of its busiest container ports, and investors play both sides. The squares, the Victorian District, Thomas Square and Starland carry the renovation and rental trade, while the port and its logistics corridor west of town drive industrial demand across Chatham County.
Loan Goat funds Savannah deals the way it funds Georgia deals generally, on the asset. Chatham County is the working radius, and the same terms extend to Augusta, Charleston and North Charleston when the next opportunity lands one town over.
The whole point of a private lender is that the deal decides the answer. On Savannah property that means value, exit and plan, reviewed by the same desk that releases the funds. Veteran-owned, in business since 2022, 1.3K+ loans closed.
© THE COST SAVANNAH · GA
WHAT DO SAVANNAH HARD MONEY LOANS COST
Pricing a Savannah deal is straightforward. Bridge runs from 9.00% to 13.00% and moves with leverage and risk. Ask for more of the purchase price and the rate moves up; bring a stronger exit and it moves down. Residential bridge goes to 75% LTV and commercial to 70%.
Every quote is written before an appraisal is ordered, so a Savannah investor knows the rate, the leverage, the term and the fees while there is still time to walk. No prepayment penalty on the bridge programs means a flip that sells in four months costs four months of interest, not twelve.
| PROGRAM | RATES | LEVERAGE UP TO | TERMS | LOAN AMOUNTS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BRIDGE LOAN | 9.00% to 13.00% | LTV 75% | 1 or 2 years | $150,000 to $25,000,000 |
| FIX & FLIP | 9.99% to 12.00% | LTV 85% of purchase, LTC 100% of rehab | 6 to 18 months | $250,000 to $10,000,000 |
| RENTAL DSCR | 6.50% to 9.99% Non-QM | LTV 80% | 5, 7, 30 and 40 year fixed | Sized to the property |
Starting rates for qualified borrowers, from the published terms cards. Points and fees are quoted on the Letter of Intent. Rates are subject to change without notice and are not a commitment to lend.
Those numbers are the ceiling and the floor. A Savannah deal gets priced inside them once the property and the exit are on the table, usually the same day the file is opened.

Certainty is the product. A Savannah borrower gets written terms, in-house capital and one person who can say yes. Nothing is sold to a warehouse line mid-process and nothing is re-priced at the closing table, which is why the review record reads 5.0 across 150+ reviews.
Antebellum and Victorian townhouses and row buildings downtown, wood-frame cottages through Thomas Square and Starland, 1950s ranches in the midtown ring, plus warehouse and distribution space toward the terminals. That stock is exactly what the bridge and fix and flip programs are built for.
Short-term rental in and around the historic district is the headline trade, with student rentals for SCAD close behind. Cottage renovation in Starland resells strongly, and industrial near the port suits a longer hold. The program follows the plan, not the other way round.

HOW WE LEND IN SAVANNAH
The comparison is the operating rulebook: high leverage, speed to close, capital that is actually there, low documentation, in-house processing and a rate the deal earns. When a bank says no on a Savannah file, this desk looks at the property. When the deal does not pencil, you hear it before the appraisal is ordered.

SAVANNAH HARD MONEY LOANS, ANSWERED
Straight answers to what borrowers ask before they call. Questions we answer elsewhere link to the page that owns them.
-
Yes. Loan Goat funds investment property in Savannah and across Chatham County on every program listed on this site: bridge, fix and flip, construction, rental property, commercial, owner occupied, bank financing, second and third mortgages and blanket loans. The desk is in San Diego, the capital is in house, and Savannah files are underwritten on the property rather than on where the borrower banks.
Request a quote -
Five to seven days is standard and low-doc bridge files have funded in as little as three. The timeline on a Savannah deal is usually set by title and escrow rather than by underwriting, because the credit decision is made in house by one person. Open title early and the wire follows the written terms.
How it works -
Non-owner-occupied residential from single-family up to four units, apartment buildings, mixed-use, retail, office, industrial and flex, self-storage, hospitality, manufactured housing and land across Chatham County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Savannah asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
Bridge financing does the work, since a historic Savannah renovation almost never matches a bank's timeline. Loan Goat lends on Chatham County property against the asset and the exit, with minimal documentation, up to 75% LTV on bridge and a five to seven day close. Pay it off when the house sells or refinances, with nothing charged for being early.
-
Credit is reviewed, but the property carries the decision. These are business-purpose loans on non-owner-occupied real estate, underwritten to value, exit and the strength of the deal. Investors turned down by a bank for self-employment, a recent event on file or thin documentation are routine business here.
Self-employed borrowers -
Bridge money runs from 9.00% to 13.00% and moves with leverage, property type, exit and experience. Rental loans price lower because the property carries the debt, from 6.50% on the Non-QM tier. Every quote is written before an appraisal is ordered, so you are never chasing a number that changes at the closing table.
Bridge loan terms -
No prepayment penalty on the bridge programs. Pay the loan off the day the flip sells or the refinance funds and you owe interest for the days you used the money. That matters when the whole plan is to be in and out inside a year.
All loan programs -
Five to seven days is the standard, and low-doc bridge deals have closed in as little as three. Speed comes from the structure, not from cutting corners: in-house capital, one decision maker and minimal documentation. Title and escrow set the floor, so the sooner those are opened, the sooner the wire moves.
