Easy Street Capital (easystreetcap.com) is a private real estate lender headquartered in Austin, Texas. It runs three loan programs for investors: EasyFix for fix-and-flip and bridge loans, EasyBuild for new construction, and EasyRent for long-term rentals. EasyRent is its DSCR loan. Easy Street qualifies these loans on the property's income against the payment, with no income documents or debt-to-income ratio.
The EasyRent page says the loan has no minimum DSCR. Easy Street will qualify an Airbnb or VRBO purchase with no booking history, using appraisal rent or AirDNA's revenue projections. This page covers those terms, what Easy Street Capital reviews on Trustpilot and BiggerPockets say, and the company's regulatory record.
Easy Street Capital's EasyRent DSCR loan terms
Easy Street figures DSCR as monthly rent, or projected short-term rental income, divided by the full payment: principal, interest, taxes, insurance and HOA dues. The FAQ repeats that there is no minimum, and the page says your rate depends mostly on credit score, DSCR and LTV.
Terms on the EasyRent page, read November 3, 2026:
Term | What Easy Street publishes |
|---|---|
Minimum DSCR | None |
Credit score | 640 median FICO; up to one bankruptcy, foreclosure or short sale in the past 7 years |
Loan amount | $100,000 to $3.5 million per property |
Blanket loans | Up to $5 million; 3+ properties, $225,000 minimum, all in one state |
Max LTV | 80% on purchases and rate-term refis; 75% cash-out; 65% on rural property |
Structures | 30-year fixed; 10 years interest-only then 20-year amortization; 5-year fixed hybrid ARM |
Prepayment penalty | Usually 5-4-3-2-1; 3-2-1, 2-1, none, or a flat 5% for five years also offered |
Property types | 1 to 10 unit residential, condos, rural, long-, mid- and short-term rentals, vacant property |
Reserves | Generally 3 to 9 months of payments in liquid assets |
Borrower | LLCs, or individuals in most states; anyone owning over 25% signs a full guaranty |
Closing | Same-day term sheet; closing "in as little as 30 days" |
The property must be rent-ready; Easy Street sends properties that need work to EasyFix. It doesn't allow a second lien, including one that funds your down payment, and you can't live in the property. First-time investors are eligible. Foreign nationals qualify when a U.S. citizen or green card holder owns at least half of the borrowing LLC.
Easy Street doesn't publish ARM index, margin or caps, cash-out seasoning, or rate-lock terms.
How Easy Street underwrites Airbnb and VRBO rentals
Easy Street's short-term rental page lists these rules:
- No booking history needed. For a property without 12 months of short-term rental history, income can come from the appraiser's long-term market rent or, in some cases, AirDNA projections or appraisal-based short- or mid-term rent.
- Refinances need little history. You need a live listing and at least one completed booking, with no full year of operating history required.
- Full AirDNA revenue for "Professional STR Investors." The page says most DSCR lenders discount AirDNA revenue by about 20%. Easy Street uses the full projection if you own three or more U.S. short-term rentals with 12+ months of activity each, or one with a year of history in the same market.
- Rural and seasonal markets are eligible. The page puts the rural LTV cap at 70%. The EasyRent page says 65%. Ask which applies to your file.
- Personal use is limited. You can stay in the property generally no more than 14 days a year.
The STR page says its short-term rental loans cover properties up to 4 units, while the EasyRent page lists short-term rentals among its 1 to 10 unit property types. Condos, including non-warrantable condos and condotels, appear on the STR page. Neither page covers local permit or zoning rules, so check your city's STR ordinance yourself.
EasyRent rates and fees
Easy Street advertises EasyRent rates "starting at 5.75%." The FAQ dates that figure to September 2025, and the page still showed it on November 3, 2026. Your quote will depend on your credit, DSCR, LTV, loan structure, prepay choice and loan purpose. Easy Street lists "0 point options" and lets you buy the rate down with points.
The EasyRent page doesn't list an origination fee, underwriting fee, appraisal cost or other closing costs. Ask for a full term sheet with every fee before you pay for an appraisal.
Easy Street Capital reviews
We couldn't open the review sites directly for this page. These figures come from search-result snapshots read November 3, 2026, and may not match the live pages.
- Trustpilot (easystreetcap.com): 3.1 out of 5 from 11 reviews. Snippets show a 2025 reviewer who says a loan extension request went unanswered for two months, one-star reviews about over-promising and unexpected charges, and another reviewer praising speed and terms.
- BiggerPockets: snapshots of BiggerPockets business pages listed under Easy Street's name disagree. One shows 4.6 stars from 187 reviews; another shows 4.9 from 64. The visible reviews are mostly five-star and often name a loan officer.
CrowdfundedWealth, a third-party review site, published a summary of complaints on May 11, 2026: communication breakdowns, lost non-refundable deposits, last-minute term changes, funding delays and problems after loan servicing moved to an outside servicer. Easy Street's homepage advertises in-house servicing.
Applying direct or through a mortgage broker
You can request a quote from Easy Street directly. In August 2026 it launched a borrower portal that shows your application, loan options, documents and deal status through closing.
Easy Street also runs a mortgage broker program covering all three loan programs. Brokers get "Standard" or "Enhanced" pricing depending on tier. Standard-tier loans close in Easy Street's name; Signature-tier loans close in a white-labeled name. The broker page doesn't publish broker compensation. If a broker brings you an EasyRent loan, ask who the lender is and where the broker's fee shows up on your settlement statement.
Easy Street Capital's size and funding
Easy Street says it funded 3,640 investment property loans totaling more than $1.28 billion in 2025, per an August 18, 2026 release. A June 2025 release reported a record $1.2 billion in 2024, up 20% from 2023. Neither release splits rental loans from flip and construction loans.
Easy Street closed a $175 million securitization of residential transition (flip and bridge) loans in June 2025 and a second $175 million deal on November 13, 2025, per its own releases. A June 8, 2026 post says it appears in Scotsman Guide's 2026 Top Private Lenders lists, including the DSCR list, without giving a rank.
Stephen Hagerman is president. Casey Denton and Scott Townes are senior partners. CrowdfundedWealth reports the company was founded in 2016 and is privately held. Easy Street's site doesn't state a founding year or name outside owners.

Where our review info comes from
- We don't rate or score companies. There is no ConsumerAdviser score, star rating, or ranking formula.
- Ratings shown are public reviews. When we show a rating, it is the company's rating on the named third-party site (for example Google, Trustpilot, or the Better Business Bureau), with the number of reviews and the date we checked. Each one links to the source so you can see it for yourself.
- We never combine sources.Each site's rating is shown separately, exactly as that site displayed it. Ratings change over time, so the current figure on the source may differ.
- Facts come from public records. Product details, fees, eligibility, and licensing come from each company's own published materials and public records, and show the date we last verified them.
- How often we update. We recheck ratings, review counts, and company facts each time we update a page. Every rating shows the date we checked it, and every page shows the date it was last verified.
- How lists are ordered. Each list says how it is ordered — alphabetically unless noted otherwise.
If a company has no public review data on file, we leave that space empty rather than estimate. Always confirm current details with the provider before you decide.
ConsumerAdviser is compensated by some of the companies that appear on this site. If you apply, sign up, or purchase through links on this page, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. The appearance and order of companies on this site may be based on a combination of factors, including compensation and user conversion rates, except where prohibited by law. We do not publish scores or ratings of our own; any rating shown is a company's public rating on a named third-party site, with its date. This site does not include every company, product, or offer available in a category. Information is believed to be accurate as of each page's last-updated date and is subject to change.
