First-Lien Private Lending · Eastern Pennsylvania

Discipline is the strategy

Fund capital is deployed through Easy Cash Loans as short-term, first-lien bridge loans — 10–14% borrower rates, 6–18 month terms, never more than 70% of independently verified after-repair value. Here is the full playbook: how loans are made, how capital is protected, and what we do when things go wrong.

The Lending Process

From application to payoff — six steps, no shortcuts

01

Borrower Application

Borrower submits the property address, renovation scope and budget, comparable sales, credit report (600+ floor), and proof of 5+ completed flips in the prior 24 months.

02

Underwriting & Verification

Easy Cash Loans independently verifies the ARV, pressure-tests comps and renovation budget, vets the borrower’s track record, and enforces the 70% LTV cap and 20% single-borrower concentration limit.

03

Approval & Term Sheet

Approved loans receive a term sheet: loan amount, rate (10–14%), term (6–18 months), borrower-paid points, and all conditions precedent to closing.

04

Closing & Lien Recording

First-lien mortgage recorded. Title insurance issued. Personal guaranty executed. Only then are fund proceeds disbursed — with every document retained in fund records.

05

Servicing & Monitoring

Easy Cash Loans tracks the payment schedule and renovation progress, conducts periodic property check-ins, and maintains monthly communication with every borrower until payoff.

06

Payoff or Default Response

At term, the borrower sells or refinances and repays in full. In a default: Pennsylvania foreclosure, pursuit of the personal guaranty, and active asset management to maximize recovery.

Underwriting Standards

Six lines we never cross

Every loan issued through Easy Cash Loans must clear all six standards. A deal that misses one is a deal we pass on.

5+

Completed Flips, Prior 24 Months

Borrowers must prove five or more completed flips within the last two years. Experience is non-negotiable.

600+

Credit Score Floor

A minimum 600 credit score on every guarantor — borrowers who honor obligations elsewhere honor them with us.

≤70%

Max LTV of Verified ARV

Loans capped at 70% of after-repair value, verified independently — never on the borrower’s numbers alone.

100%

Personal Guaranty

Every borrower signs personally for the full loan amount. The property is the first source of recovery, not the only one.

100%

Title Insurance

A title policy on every transaction insures the fund’s first-lien position against defects and prior claims.

≤20%

Single-Borrower Concentration

No borrower may hold more than 20% of fund capital — one operator’s stumble cannot sink the portfolio.

Capital Protection

Four layers between your capital and loss

We underwrite every loan as if it will default — so that when one does, the outcome is already engineered.

Layer One

First-Lien Recorded Mortgage

Every loan is secured by a recorded first-position mortgage on the subject property, with title insurance on every transaction. In a default, the fund holds the senior legal claim — the right to foreclose and recover ahead of every other creditor.

Layer Two

Sub-70% LTV Equity Cushion

We lend no more than 70% of the property’s independently verified after-repair value. That builds a 30%+ equity buffer into every position — even a meaningful decline in value leaves the loan covered by collateral.

Layer Three

Personal Guaranty on Every Loan

Every borrower signs a personal guaranty for the full loan amount. If the collateral ever falls short, the fund has recourse to the borrower’s personal assets — and borrowers with skin in the game finish their projects.

Layer Four

Proven Borrower Track Record

We lend only to operators with 5+ completed flips in the prior 24 months and a 600+ credit floor. No first-time flippers, no speculation — experienced hands manage the renovation risk on every project we fund.

If a Borrower Defaults

A playbook, not a panic

Defaults are a known cost of lending. What matters is the response — ours starts on day one and runs until capital is recovered.

Day 0 – 30

Contact & Cure

Immediate borrower contact, late fees assessed, and a workout or reinstatement plan negotiated while the project keeps moving.

Day 30 – 60

Formal Notice

Formal default notice and demand issued; the personal guaranty is invoked and foreclosure counsel is engaged.

Month 2 – 6

Foreclosure Filing

Pennsylvania judicial foreclosure filed. The property is secured, insured, and preserved while the action proceeds.

Month 6 – 18

Property Recovery

Title recovered at sheriff’s sale or by deed. Easy Cash Deal’s crews complete the project and sell to maximize recovery.

Pennsylvania is a judicial foreclosure state — recovery runs through the courts and takes time. That is exactly why the 70% LTV cushion, personal guaranty, and title insurance exist: the collateral math is built to absorb the wait.

Risk Factors

The risks, stated plainly

Every investment carries risk, including possible loss of principal. Here is our honest assessment — the PPM contains the complete risk disclosure.

Borrower Default

Mitigated

Some borrowers will miss payments or fail to complete projects. In a lending fund, this is a matter of when, not if.

Mitigation: Sub-70% LTV cushion, personal guaranty, title insurance, experienced-borrower requirements, and a defined default playbook engineered to recover principal.

Foreclosure Timeline Delay

Real Risk

Pennsylvania judicial foreclosure can take 12–18 months, during which capital in a defaulted loan is tied up and distributions on it pause.

Mitigation: The equity cushion is sized to absorb carrying time, guaranty pressure encourages pre-foreclosure resolution, and workouts are pursued before litigation.

Geographic Concentration

Real Risk

The fund lends exclusively in Eastern Pennsylvania. A severe regional downturn would affect much of the portfolio at once.

Mitigation: Concentration is deliberate — it is where our information advantage lives. Conservative LTVs, short loan terms, and diversification across eight counties and property types temper the exposure.

New Fund, No Operating History

Real Risk

EC Capital Fund was formed in January 2026 and has no fund-level track record. Early investors rely on the managers’ personal history, not audited fund results.

Mitigation: The managers bring 100+ personal transactions in these exact markets and have personally borrowed $3M+ from private lenders — they have operated on both sides of this exact loan.

Redemption Risk

Mitigated

Interests are illiquid. There is no public market, and redemptions depend on fund liquidity at the time of your request.

Mitigation: 6–12 month lock-up plus 90-day notice lets loan maturities fund redemptions in the ordinary course; the Manager may delay redemptions in adverse conditions to protect all investors. Commit only capital you can leave deployed 12–18 months.

Renovation & Contractor Risk

Mitigated

Rehab projects run over budget and over schedule. A stalled renovation weakens the collateral behind the loan.

Mitigation: Budgets are pressure-tested in underwriting, progress is monitored monthly, and Easy Cash Deal’s crews and contractor network can step in to finish a project if a borrower cannot.

Pocono Short-Term Rental Demand

Sustained vacation-rental demand from the NYC and NJ metros supports after-repair values and makes renovated properties highly liquid on exit.

Affordable Entry Points

Regional price points put 70%-LTV loans squarely in the $100K–$350K range — the sweet spot where risk stays manageable and capital stays diversified.

Deep Investor Community

A large, active fix-and-flip community across the Lehigh Valley keeps the borrower pipeline deep and lets the fund stay selective on every deal.

Home-Field Advantage

The managers have transacted here 100+ times. We know the sub-markets, contractors, title companies, and pricing rhythms street by street.
