Well done! When my initial lender asked for an extension 3 days before closing the Easy Street team stepped in and saved the day! I appreciate their ability to close quickly and get the deal done.

Easy Street was flexible enough to work around some extension issues due to some unseen hurdles in my house flip. Eternally grateful to Easy Street for making things as smooth as possible. Would definitely recommend them to anyone getting started in house flipping.

In a market that is full of hard money lenders, we made the best choice in using Easy Street. Closed my deal on time and they didn’t ask me to bring my “first born”. It was easy and it allowed me to start my business and keep more of my profit!!! Easy Street is the best in the business! Straight forward & easy!!

I was able to obtain a loan from Easy Street to invest in purchasing a house in TX for fixing up & flipping. Easy Street is one of the best lenders I have dealt with and they are genuinely interested in assisting the investor to be successful with whatever your project is. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs funds for investment in real estate.

Easy Street is great for investors needing to close fast at competitive hard money rates. They have much less red tape to approve and the numbers make sense. This really made it possible for us to move fast and get the deal done.

I have had a good experience with Easy Street Capital. I was able to close my deal quickly with very timely underwriting. The company should be able to close very quickly if you need a quick close. The rehab draws I requested were reviewed and issued quickly as well (basically next day or two). The communication and all processes of the loan have been simple throughout my time working with them.
