Rental Loans FAQs

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The EasyRent rental loans are classified as DSCR Loans, which are mortgage loans secured by residential real estate turnkey properties strictly used for a business purpose and underwritten primarily based on the property.

We offer rental loans in every state except North Dakota, South Dakota and Nevada. In all states we lend - rural markets are eligible as well!

The DSCR Ratio, not to be confused with “DSCR Loans,” is the “Debt Service Coverage Ratio.” It measures the annual cash flow of a rental property in a ratio of rental income divided by expenses.

We calculate DSCR by taking monthly Projected Income (Rent or STR income) divided by your monthly payment – PITIA (principal, interest, tax escrow, insurance escrow and any HOA dues). No expenses besides taxes, insurance or HOA dues are considered in underwriting or qualification.

Our rental loans require a minimum DSCR of 0.75x.

Loans on Rental Properties generally range from 5.50% to 10.50% as of September 2024.

Yes, these are DSCR Loans that are primarily based on the rental income and DSCR of the property, however, borrower credit score and liquid asset reserves also count.

Easy Street Capital offers rental loans with interest rates as low as 5.50%, and the rate offered will depend primarily on three factors; your credit score, the DSCR ratio and the LTV ratio. Additional factors include also determine the rate include loan structure, prepayment penalty terms and loan purpose, more advanced analysis of how to get the lowest rate are included in this article. In addition, borrowers can pay more “points” or higher closing fees to lower or “buy down” the interest rate on a rental property loan.

Our rental loans require a minimum qualifying credit score of 640.

While rental loans are limited to borrowers with a minimum credit score of 640, we have flexibility to offer loans to people borrowing with partners within an LLC and providing rental loans for people even with recent mortgage late payments, foreclosures and even bankruptcies.

Yes, Easy Street Capital’s will finance rural properties through the EasyRent rental loan program. LTVs for loans secured by rural properties have a maximum of 65%.

Our rental loans require a minimum down payment of 15% for rental loans for purchases of rental properties.

Our rental loans require a minimum loan amount of $75,000. Portfolio, or “Blanket” rental loans have a minimum loan amount of $225,000 and must have three or more properties in the portfolio.

Our rental loans have a maximum loan amount of $3,500,000. Portfolio, or “Blanket” rental loans have a maximum loan amount of $5,000,000.

Our rental loans have a maximum LTV of 85.0% if the loan purpose is an acquisition or a rate-term refinance and a maximum LTV of 75.0% if the loan purpose is a cash-out refinance.

Yes, we lend on properties up to 10 units for the EasyRent loan program.

No, Easy Street Capital’s rental property loans are strictly for business-purpose, and occupying the property is strictly prohibited.

A cash-out refinance in real estate finance is a refinance mortgage loan (either on a rental property owned free and clear with no debt or in conjunction with paying off the old mortgage) in which the borrower receives greater than $2,000 in proceeds. Proceeds are generally determined by subtracting the payoff loan amount, closing costs and any escrows from the new loan amount.

A rate-term refinance in real estate finance is a refinance rental loan in which the borrower receives less than $2,000 in proceeds at closing or has to bring additional funds to cover payoffs, closing costs and escrows.

Easy Street Capital does not utilize DTI for qualification for rental loans! There is no income verification or tax return requirement for qualification for a rental loan with Easy Street Capital.

Yes, EasyRent loans are first-time investor friendly, and we do not have any restrictions or limits on loan offerings to first time investors. We are dedicated to helping real estate investors start the journey to financial freedom and love to help people get started!

Yes, generally most of our rental loans have thirty year terms and have an interest rate fixed for the entire term. However, we do offer some borrowers Hybrid ARM (adjustable rate mortgage) options, in which the interest rate is fixed for the first five years of the term, and then floats based on several loan provisions for the final 25 years of the term.

We offer a “Partial” interest-only option where only interest payments (no principal paydown) is required for the first 10 years of the term, and then the loan amortizes on a 20-year schedule for the final 20 years of the term.

The DSCR is calculated on the interest-only payment that will be in effect for the first 10 years of the loan term.

Not necessarily, most rental loans from Easy Street Capital have fees associated with paying off the rental property loan early, typically in a “5/4/3/2/1” structure. This means that if prepaid in the first year, there will be a prepayment penalty of 5% of the remaining loan balance, with a 4% fee if prepaid in the second year, 3% if prepaid in the third year, etc. There would be no fees associated with prepaying the rental loan with this structure for the last 25 years of the loan. However, EasyRent is a flexible loan program that can be tailored to our borrower’s strategy and needs. Our rental loans can have reduced prepayment penalties, such as a “3/2/1” or “2/1” structure, no prepayment penalties at all or even higher prepayment penalty structure, such as a 5% fee if prepaid during the first five years of the term. Generally, the higher and longer the prepayment penalty is in effect, the lower interest rate you will have.

A “blanket” rental loan is the term used for having one loan secured by multiple properties. Also sometimes called a “portfolio” loan, it is usually preferred by investors seeking to simplify their portfolio management, preferring having one loan to make payments for and track rather than many individual loans.

Yes, EasyRent offers blanket portfolio loans for real estate investors. Qualification and the documentation process is similar to a rental property loan for a single property, however all the properties secured under the blanket loan must be in the same state.

Properties for Rental Loans need to have a third-party appraised value of at least $100,000 to be eligible under the EasyRent rental loan program. However, for portfolio, or “blanket” rental loans, the minimum property value can be as low as $75,000.

Yes – vacant properties are fully eligible for rental loans from Easy Street Capital. We will use the market rent (as determined by the appraisal) to project cash flows for the property. Additionally, if planned to utilize the property as a short term or vacation rental, we can utilize projects from industry data providers to qualify the loan.

Rental Loans from Easy Street Capital require limited documentation (although shouldn’t be considered “no doc” loans!). Documentation requirements include an application, authorization to pull credit, two months of bank statements for liquid asset reserves, property and flood insurance (if applicable), leases or short term rental operating history (if applicable), entity documents (if borrowing through a business entity), and documented renovation information (if doing a BRRRR Method refinance).

Yes – in fact we recommend borrowing through an LLC (however borrowing as an individual is OK in most states). We require a full guaranty for anyone who has more than 25% of ownership of the entity and allow up to four separate guarantors on each loan.

No – we are a flexible lender that can work with borrowers with blemished credit history. Our median FICO minimum is 640, which allows the vast majority of potential borrowers to qualify with us. We have a limit of one bankruptcy, foreclosure or short sale within the past seven years and require that all delinquencies on the credit report be cured prior to closing our loans. You may have to pay a moderately higher rate, but we should be able to find a loan for every investor, even with credit flaws.

Yes, we lend on condos with loans consistent with our standard structure and rates. There are some limits on LTV and DSCR based on the characteristics of the condo structure, but are welcomed by Easy Street Capital.

Yes, our rental loans can finance all sorts of investment property strategies, including long-term rentals, medium-term rentals and vacation rentals. Not only are vacation rentals eligible, but Easy Street Capital is a leader in financing vacation or short term rental loans with qualifying rental income from sources such as AirDNA and full eligibility in seasonal vacation markets. Check out our free STR Revenue Estimator Tool here!

“Reserves” in the context of rental Loans refer to liquid assets held by the borrower at closing of the loan. This can be cash held in a bank account, or even stocks, bonds and assets held in retirement accounts (although these assets will have their value “haircut” or reduced by 10-20% for counting reserves. For the EasyRent loan program, we generally require 3-9 months of PITIA payments for liquid asset reserves to be documented.

We offer loans to non-US citizens if the borrower is a documented permanent or non-permanent resident alien. We will also lend to foreign nationals residing outside of the United States if the borrowing entity is an LLC and 50% or more of the ownership is held by a US Citizen or green card holder.

Rental Property Loans under the EasyRent loan program are intended for “turnkey” properties only, meaning little to no renovations are needed. To finance an investment property that needs renovations, such as for a fix and flip or BRRRR Method project, refer to our EasyFix hard money loan program!

No, EasyRent rental loans prohibit any subordinate or second-lien financing.

Robert W. | Apr 05, 2024

Fast and Reliable

I’ve used Easy Street on several deals as a broker myself. They have definitely been the fastest and most reliable hard money lender that I’ve come across. Dustin and the team always make sure that my clients and I are taken care of, even after closing.

Noah H. | Mar 15, 2024

Saved the Day!

My team and I recently had the pleasure of Zach Edelman from Easy Street Capital, and he and his team, Amanda Werth in particular were excellent. We used their DSCR loan program for an investment/ rental home and we turned to Zach after we spent nearly two months with another lender rep that simply promised and did not even know his own guidelines. But, Zach and Amanda saved the day, not only did Zach pull it off in record time, but he got us even better terms than we thought we could get prior. Zach and Amanda and their team were great to work with: they were very responsive, informative, friendly, and best of all they got it done. Thank you from the whole crew of mine... we will be back to do more business with this team for sure.

Derek P. | Dec 05, 2023

Top-Notch!

Great Communication

I had a very great experience working with Easy Street Capital. My loan officer Zachary and the Credit Analyst Abby worked diligently to get 3 loans done. There was always communication and updates which I really valued. Getting 3 loans done was a tough one but not for them. I appreciate both of them and can’t say enough about them. Highly recommended! Again, thank you.

Greg G. | Nov 05, 2023

Exactly what I Needed!

Amanda was super easy to work with and was able to do exactly what I needed. The rates were also very reasonable compared to other lenders I talked with. I am looking forward to doing my next project with Easy Street!

Jerry D. | Sep 08, 2023

Straightforward and Simple

Easy Street closed my deal in very short time after I fired the other lender for giving me the run around. The draw process was very straightforward and simple. Given this current high interest rate climate, they were easy to work with until I decided I found reasonable long term funding. I would use them again if I get stuck and need someone to close quickly. Amanda Hart is super fast!

Lorri W. | Sep 07, 2023

Responsive, Informative, Friendly

I worked with Zach Edelman from Easy Street Capital, and he and his team were simply excellent. I was looking to refinance my short term rental property and was working with another lender that simply could not provide what I needed. I turned to Zach 3 weeks before my loan was due. Not only did Zach pull it off in record time, but he got us even better terms than we thought we could get. Zach and his team were great to work with: they were responsive, quick, informative, friendly, and best of all they got it done. Thank you!

Andrew L. | Sep 07, 2023

Demian P. | Sep 01, 2023

Extremely Responsive

Zach & Eli at Easy Street assisted with 2 purchases for me recently and were extremely responsive, very helpful in figuring out loan options to get me in the best financial positions for my goals right now, and great at navigating appraisal issues (which I expected - I am pretty well versed in real estate transactions and knew there would be an appraisal issue here, it was not anything that resulted from Easy Street's handling of the loan!) And did I mention extremely responsive?? Never had to wait to hear back from them when I had a question or requested an update!

Ashley D. | Aug 19, 2023

Perfect service. Honesty and fast!

My partners found Easy Street Capital on the bigger pockets forum and I cannot express how great this lender is. Zach, my loan officer is VERY responsive, fast, and honest. They've made the process so easy compared to other lenders I've dealt with from the past. They have great rates & low minimum which really helps us in the area we are investing. Jill who does the back office work was awesome to work with as well. She answered all of my questions and assured me everything was going well. Definitely choose Easy Street Capital for you next loan/investment funding. I promise you will not be disappointed!!!

Milwaukee L. | Aug 15, 2023

My Lender of Choice!

Let me praise Stephen King. I had another lender promise a ten to day close and then extended to 20 days the day before closing. I knew who I had to call. Stephen took my call late this past Thursday, me out and didn't bat an eye. I gave his team heard everything they needed and they closed bridge in less than a 24 hours. You guys are my lender of choice now, no question. Stephen deserves acclaimation. This client was also my largest referral source and was his this personal deal Thank you for making me look like a hero!

Matthew B. | Aug 08, 2023

Smoothest Experience

Out of my 5 years in real investing my most recent transaction with Stephen King at Easy Street has been by far the smoothest experience. They were able to close my deal in 5 days, high level of professionalism and communication. Would recommend to anyone.

Horace H. | Aug 08, 2023

Offering Guidance

I can honestly say that Easy Street Capital was a delight to work with!! Everyone was so kind and helpful while going through the process of my hard money loan. I was surprised by how “easy” they were to work with as a newbie and even with unforeseen delays they were patient and cooperated in a professional manner. Amanda Hart was my initial contact and she is amaZing to work with!! She was my initial draw to the company and why I decided to move forward on my loan. I had and have immense confidence in this woman to guide and direct me as she would do her very own family member. I highly HIGHLY recommend her and this company for your hard money needs!!!!
