Nashville Investment
Property Loans.
Nashville investors work with fast-moving single-family rentals, 5 to 10 unit apartments, mixed-use corners with retail ground floors, and neighborhoods where growth has pushed price points well above other Tennessee metros.
Talk through a propertyHow Nashville deals
actually look
Metro Nashville is not one product type. A renovated fourplex in East Nashville, an eight unit building in Madison, a retail-led mixed-use corner on Nolensville Pike, and a suburban single-family rental in Antioch each call for a different debt lane. Unit count and how income is generated matter more than the Davidson County address alone.
Capituro helps investors close business-purpose financing across those lanes: 1 to 4 Unit DSCR on houses and small residential, 5 to 10 Unit DSCR on smaller apartments, 10+ Unit DSCR on larger multifamily, Commercial DSCR on non-residential and retail-led mixed use, bridge for lease-up and value add, and residential ground up construction on eligible infill projects.

What investors own here
Suburban single-family and small residential
Antioch, Hermitage, Madison, and outer Davidson County hold large stocks of 1980s to 2000s single-family rentals and newer build-to-rent subdivisions. Typical purchase prices often span $300K to $550K for entry rentals, with DSCR loans from $250K minimum. Duplexes and fourplexes appear in East Nashville, Germantown-adjacent pockets, and older suburban corridors.
5 to 10 unit apartments
East Nashville, Madison, and older corridors contain 6 to 10 unit buildings from the 1960s and 1970s. These often sit between residential DSCR and agency apartment boxes. A stabilized 8 unit building typically fits 5 to 10 Unit DSCR at $500K to $2M. Buildings above ten legal units route to 10+ Unit DSCR with rent roll and T-12 underwriting.
Mixed use with retail ground floor
Main street retail, small office, and mixed-use corners along Nolensville Pike, Gallatin Pike, and neighborhood commercial strips fit Commercial DSCR when income is commercial-led. Residential-led apartments above retail should stay on multifamily DSCR programs by unit count.

Program detailsWhat slows deals here
Short-term rental rules by neighborhood
STR regulations vary by council district and overlay zone. Income modeled on peak tourism weeks may not match what DSCR programs can underwrite without operating history or approved market rent support.
Flood and insurance near Cumberland River
Properties in low-lying areas along the Cumberland and its tributaries need flood determinations early. Insurance premiums materially change DSCR on Nashville deals.
Infill construction permitting
Metro infill projects face zoning, stormwater, and utility capacity reviews that can delay ground breaking. Construction loans need realistic permit timelines.
