FAQ
Chattanooga Lending Questions
How fast can Ryser Capital close a loan in Chattanooga?
Fix and flip and bridge loans can close in as little as 72 hours once title and insurance are in place, with a 7 day average. DSCR rental loans take 2 to 3 weeks because of the appraisal and lease review. Our fastest close on record was under 24 hours.
Do I need to be a local investor to get a loan in Chattanooga?
No. We lend to local investors and to out-of-state investors buying in Chattanooga. Out-of-state borrowers typically need a local property manager or contractor lined up, and we can help with introductions.
Do you lend to first-time investors?
Yes. Experience improves leverage and pricing, but first-time flippers and first-time landlords are funded regularly. A strong contractor, a realistic budget and adequate liquidity matter more than a long track record.
What credit score do you require?
There is no single hard minimum. Credit is one input alongside experience, liquidity and the property itself, and stronger credit improves leverage and pricing. Tell us your estimated score on the application and we will quote what fits.
Do you fund rural or luxury properties?
Yes. We fund luxury homes and rural properties around Chattanooga that many lenders pass on, as long as there are reasonable comparable sales to support the value.
