As of August 2026, we analyzed 716 active for-sale homes in Dallas, Georgia. The typical listing is priced at $398,990 and is projected to generate about $41,507 a year as a short-term rental.
After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 66.3% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — well above the 52.5% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Dallas #38 of 200 for cash-flow potential.
On market momentum: homes in Dallas sit a median of 51 days on the market, and 32% of active listings came on in just the last 30 days — a steadily paced market, which shapes how much room there is to negotiate.
For a DSCR loan — which qualifies on the property's rental income rather than your personal income — that's a relatively healthy setup: in Dallas, a meaningful share of listings throw off enough short-term-rental income, after costs, to cover an estimated investor mortgage payment.
What actually works in Dallas
Dallas works for investors, but the window is specific: 136 of the 511 Dallas homes, condos and townhomes we can price confidently clear a DSCR of 1.25. Nine in ten of them are priced under $434,000.

Darker means a larger share of that group cash-flows. “—” means fewer than 8 active listings — too few to draw a conclusion from.
