Investor Story #1: Fixing Fast in Southern California
Turning a Cosmetic Rehab into a Solid Win
Market: Garden Grove, CA
Loan Program: EasyFix Fix and Flip Loan
Loan Amount: $820,000
Purchase Price: $950,000
Renovation Funding: $75,000
After-Repair Value (ARV): $1,175,000
Loan-to-Cost (LTC): 80.0%
Rate: 9.90%
Close Date: June 2025
In one of Southern California’s competitive infill neighborhoods, a returning investor partnered with Easy Street Capital to acquire and renovate a single-family property through the EasyFix program. Priced at $950,000, the home required only cosmetic upgrades. This kind of light rehab is where speed, simplicity, and trust determine whether a deal closes or falls apart.
Easy Street Capital structured the loan with $760,000 for acquisition and an additional $60,000 rehab reserve, providing 80% loan-to-cost (LTC) and a projected after-repair value (ARV) of $1.175 million. The investor secured interest-only payments at a competitive 9.90% rate and just 1.5 points. This freed up more capital for materials and contractors and helped ensure a faster turnaround.
“As a first-time applicant for this type of loan, I was nervous at first — but the Easy Street team made the entire process clear and stress-free. My account executive guided me step by step, and we closed without a hitch. I couldn’t be happier with the result.” — Verified First-Time Fix & Flip Borrower | Google Review
With guidance from Easy Street’s lending team, this investor completed a successful flip in less than a year. This added another profitable project to an already growing portfolio. The streamlined process, transparent communication, and draw-schedule support allowed the borrower to stay focused on the renovation, rather than red tape.
For fix-and-flip investors, every day matters. Easy Street Capital’s EasyFix program delivers fast 48-hour closings, competitive leverage, and human-level support. Turning cosmetic rehabs into confident, profitable exits in California has never been easier.
Investor Story #2: From Delays to Done
How a Texas Investor Closed Fast on a Waterfront STR
Market: New Braunfels, TX
Loan Program: EasyRent DSCR Loan
Loan Amount: $711,920
Loan-to-Value (LTV): 80.0%
Rate: 6.750%
Close Date: September 2025
After being turned down by two traditional lenders, a seasoned Texas investor couple turned to Easy Street Capital to secure financing for their newest short-term rental property — a five-bedroom, three-bath waterfront home on Lake Dunlap in New Braunfels. The 2,418 sq. ft. residence, in excellent condition, offers direct lake access, a private boathouse, and a spacious deck. This is an ideal setup for vacation rental income. Located just two miles from Downtown New Braunfels, the home provides the perfect balance of lakeside living and urban convenience for guests.
This deal showed what investors value most: speed, transparency, and expertise. Easy Street Capital funded the $711,920 acquisition loan in under 30 days — rescuing the transaction after two other lenders stalled for more than six weeks. The fully amortizing, 30-year fixed-rate DSCR loan at 6.75% and 80% LTV delivered stability and scalability for the borrowers’ expanding portfolio. Using AirDNA market data, the property’s underwritten monthly rent of $7,900 generated a strong DSCR of 1.26x. Solid income performance was confirmed from day one.
“Two other lenders said they could do the deal but kept me waiting for weeks. Easy Street Capital got it done in less than a month — with full transparency and no surprises. I couldn’t be happier with how smoothly it closed.” — Verified Borrower, Texas | Google Review
This transaction reflects what defines Easy Street Capital: responsive underwriting, direct communication, and a process built around the pace of real investors. With this acquisition, the borrowers added another profitable short-term rental property to their portfolio. Their story is a testament to how the right financing partner can make all the difference.
When traditional lenders hesitate, speed and clarity win deals. Easy Street Capital’s DSCR loan programs empower investors to act fast and close confidently with income-producing properties across Texas and beyond.
Investor Story #3: Building New Homes in Richmond
How Easy Street Funded a Dual New-Build in Record Time
Market: Richmond, VA
Loan Program: EasyBuild Ground-Up Construction Loan
Loan Amount: $321,750
Purchase Price: $110,000
Renovation Funding: $309,750
After-Repair Value (ARV): $495,000
Loan-to-Cost (LTC): 76.66%
Rate: 10.25%
Close Date: June 2025
In the heart of Richmond’s fast-growing East End, a local general contractor and repeat Easy Street Capital borrower is transforming a vacant lot into two brand-new single-family homes through the EasyBuild ground-up construction program. The investor acquired the land in a prior year and returned to Easy Street to finance the construction of two attached residences, each planned as a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home, totaling nearly 3,800 square feet across both units.
With approved plans, permits, and surveys already carried out, Easy Street Capital provided 100% construction financing to enable the project to move forward efficiently. The borrower’s prior new-build experience, local market knowledge, and strong credit positioned the project for success. Now approximately 50% complete, the new build is progressing on schedule with active 48-hour milestone-based draw disbursements guiding the project toward completion.
“I have worked with Easy Street as a broker on a few deals now and everyone involved in the process is extremely easy to work with. The communication is great and they get things done extremely fast. My account executive’s communication/attention to my questions and concerns is exceptional. My first deal I sent, he was able to get to the closing table in essentially 24 hours. I was speechless after that the loan closed and will continue to send deals because I know their team will execute.” — Verified Borrower, Richmond VA | Google Review
This active new construction deal demonstrates how EasyBuild supports builders at every stage—offering fast approvals, transparent draw management, and a lending process tailored to real-world construction timelines. With a strong ARV projection, solid infill location, and walkable access to shopping and schools, the project is well-positioned with an exit strategy to sell once completed.
