Team 912 Investor Resources Hub

The Team 912 Investor Resources Hub is the single starting point for everything we publish on Savannah real estate investing: neighborhood deep-dives, financing playbooks, regulatory updates, deal-evaluation tools, and the contrarian market analysis we use ourselves. If you’re new here, this page tells you where to start based on your stage. If you’re a regular, bookmark it — we refresh the underlying guides quarterly. Team 912 is investor-only. We don’t list owner-occupant houses, write love letters to sellers, or run open houses on Saturdays. We underwrite deals, model rent rolls, run inspections with contractors who actually fix things, and close on the numbers. Everything below reflects that focus.

Start Here Based on Where You Are

If you’re new to Savannah investing

Read these three in order:

Is Savannah a Good Real Estate Investment Market in 2026? — the honest answer, with the numbers behind it.
Savannah, GA Real Estate for Investors — the macro overview: what we buy, what we avoid, and how the local economy actually shakes out.
Savannah Real Estate Investor Glossary — the local terms (STVR, BFE, CRS, ground-rent, RM-25) that show up in every deal here and confuse out-of-state buyers.

If you’re evaluating a specific neighborhood

We’ve published deep-dive investor guides on every submarket worth analyzing:

Pooler — new-construction buy-and-hold, the Gulfstream/Hyundai jobs anchor
Tybee Island — STR-cap landscape after the 2026 ordinance
Richmond Hill — Bryan County, military-family buy-and-hold
Southside / Midtown Savannah — workforce buy-and-hold backbone
Skidaway Island — luxury and gated-community plays
Whitemarsh Island — coastal STR + buy-and-hold
Wilmington Island — STR-friendly coastal corridor
Isle of Hope — historic-district premium pricing

The Regulatory Stuff That Will Bite You

Savannah-area STR and zoning rules change frequently — sometimes mid-deal. We track them so you don’t have to guess:

Savannah STVR Permit Guide — City of Savannah, Tybee, Pooler, and unincorporated Chatham, side-by-side
Coastal Georgia Flood Zone & Insurance Primer — FEMA zones, NFIP Risk Rating 2.0, the CRS discount, when private flood beats NFIP
Flood Insurance in Savannah: What Investors Actually Pay — Chatham County premium ranges by zone, with real deal examples

The Vendor & Lender Bench

The contractors, inspectors, attorneys, and lenders we send our investor clients to. Vetted by repeat performance on our own deals — not paid placements.

The Savannah Investor Pro Directory — vetted CPAs, attorneys, lenders, property managers, insurance brokers, and inspectors we actually use on Chatham County deals
Local Savannah Lenders — DSCR specialists, conventional bankers, hard-money
Additional Resources — partner tools and platforms we use

Weekly Analysis: The Team 912 Blog

We publish two pieces a week — typically one market-data or contrarian-analysis piece and one “Ask Team 912” reader-question Q&A on a real underwriting or financing decision. Recent and recurring themes:

Ask Team 912 — the recurring Q&A series. DSCR vs. conventional, earnest money sizing, seller credits vs. price cuts, STR cash reserves, when to offer above asking, inspection contingencies, and more.
Out-of-state investor playbooks — for investors based in NY, NJ, CA, FL, and the Carolinas looking to deploy capital in coastal Georgia.
Market & macro — boomer-driven inventory shifts, comparable-cost math (Habitat builds vs. retail comps), policy moves in other states that change Savannah’s relative attractiveness.
