Loan Examples
The following loans are for education purposes only. They do not represent actual loans executed by Easy Street Capital.
Loan Example 1
Angela takes a hard money loan from Easy Street Capital in order to rehab a townhouse to resale in Dallas, TX. The list price of the property is $180,000. The terms of the loan include a 55% loan-to-value (LTV), so she must bring 45% of the price as cash at closing, making the principle note amount $99,000. The interest rate on the note is 8% for a term of 12 months and the company requires a five point origination fee at the closing. The interest is to be paid on a monthly basis and the principle will be paid back after the sale of the property.
In accordance with the terms of the loan, Angela will be required to contribute a $4,950 origination fee in addition to 45% of the purchase price, or $81,000, since there is a 55% LTV. Once the deal is executed and Angela takes over the property, she will have to begin making payments each month of $660 to Easy Street Capital ($99,000 principle x 8% / 12 months). At the end of the note, she sells the renovated property for $261,000. After deducting the $7,920 in total interest payments ($660 times 12 months), the $4,950 origination fee, the $99,000 principle on the note, and the $81,000 she brought to closing, she will make a total profit of $68,130 ($261,000 sales price minus $192,870 in total costs). This profit would be reduced by any rehab costs paid out of pocket.
Loan Example 2
Easy Street Capital issues a fix and flip loan to Lawrence for a renovation project in Dallas, TX. The deal dictates the following:
$150,000 purchase price
85% loan-to-value (LTV)
18 month term
9% interest rate
4% origination feeBased on a $187,500 sales price after the 18 month term, the numbers for this project would look like the following:
$187,500 sales price
- $127,500 principle (85% LTV)
- $22,500 down payment (15% on 85% LTV)
- $5,100 origination fee (4% of the $127,500 principle amount)
- $17,213 interest payments (18 months x 9% interest)
-----------------------
= $15,188 gross profit (doesn't include taxes or renovation costs) -

I have experience with flipping houses and recently used another hard money lender. I chose easy street capital because they assured me it would be simple and easy. Little did I know that they pay out 75%of each project, let alone pay monthly for the loan. That being said, I should have access to 100% of the money whenever a job is completed. After solving that problem, I get 60% of the house completed and they refused my draw. They stated they want 100% of the house completed and ready to sell before they approve the draw. This is after pretty much paying for the job on my own. if you enjoy paying for the job up front and hoping to be reimbursed 75% of your funds depending on how they feel about the job then I recommend this company. If you enjoy fighting back and fourth for the money that you’re paying for this is the company I recommend. I can promise you I will never recommend and use this company again for my future flips. This has been the most difficult experience I have ever had. Please learn from my experience.

I am a seasoned investor and have done previous loans with this company. The last loan will be my last with Easy Street. Loan officer Greg Sanchez emailed me 1 business day prior to closing notifying me that they will not be able to fund the loan. This was my first time hearing about the possibility of it not being funded so it put me in a bad position. I had to beg the owner for an extension and spend countless hours finding a new lender that could fund the loan. Easy Street was unprofessional and I would not recommend working with this company.
