Yes. Ducere Financial Group is based in Austell, Georgia (Atlanta metro) and actively funds deals across Georgia and Florida. We also have lending partners that cover most US states.

Question 5

What is a DSCR loan and who is it for?

Accepted Answer

A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan is a long-term rental property loan that qualifies based on the property's income rather than the borrower's personal income. It requires no personal tax returns or W-2s, making it ideal for self-employed investors and those with complex income structures.

Accepted Answer

Ducere Financial Group is uniquely backed by Ducere Construction Services, a NASCLA-accredited, multi-state licensed General Contractor operating in Georgia and Florida. This construction expertise allows us to accurately assess project risk, budgets, and timelines — giving investors a lender who truly understands the job from both sides of the table.
