Visio Lending Reviews 2026: Is It Legit? Rates & Complaints

Correction, September 28, 2026. This review listed Visio's excluded states as AK, AR, DE, ID, ME, MN, NE, NV, ND, OR, RI, SD, UT and VT (about 12). Visio's live "Where We Lend" map, read September 27, 2026, shows 40 states plus DC and excludes AK, MN, NE, NV, ND, OR, SD, UT and VT; Delaware, Idaho, Maine and Rhode Island are included. Source: visiolending.com; see our September 27, 2026 check of 20 DSCR lenders.

Updated October 17, 2026: two new Visio securitizations on EDGAR, the Beach Point trust tied to them, Visio's own loan minimums, and a $5.1B+ counter. Securitizations: Visio 2026-1 Depositor LLC filed a Form ABS-15G with third-party due diligence reports on July 13, 2026 (filing) and Visio 2026-2 Depositor LLC filed one on October 7, 2026 (filing); on July 31, 2026 Visio 2023-1 Depositor LLC gave notice that its Rule 15Ga-1 reporting duty had terminated, the last payment on securities held by non-affiliates having been made on July 30, 2026 (filing). Beach Point trust: Clayton's October 2, 2026 narrative for the 2026-2 deal says it reviewed 491 loans on behalf of Visio-Beach Point Mortgage Trust, LLC, which “subsequently selected these loans for the Visio 2026-2 transaction” (Clayton report); that reverses our October 9 withdrawal of the “seller” description for this entity, although the filings still do not say who owns it. Digital Risk says 481 loans in the 2026-2 pool were previously in Visio 2023-1 and Visio 2023-2 (Digital Risk summary). Terms: Visio's own guides print a $75,000 minimum loan and $150,000 minimum property value (we had used $100,000 from an aggregator), a 680 minimum credit score and six months of reserves; an 85% LTV page says “$4.8B+ in investor loans funded” while the home page counter reads “$5.1B+”. On October 18, 2026, Visio’s staff-directory page still lists 7/6 ARMs and a 10-year interest-only option. Its non-QM explainer discusses rate and prepayment-penalty buy-downs. We could not re-confirm a general zero-prepayment-penalty offer; require the actual quote to state the penalty and its cost. HMDA: the 2025 file has 4,331 IMF application records: 2,202 originated, 900 denied, 915 withdrawn and 314 closed as incomplete (our count). Ownership: we found no 2026 report of a sale or change of control. Complaints: still 21 in the CFPB database on October 17.

Updated October 9, 2026: 2025 HMDA volume, a lawsuit closed, a prepayment error fixed, and a securitization claim we could not confirm. Volume: Investor Mortgage Finance LLC, the lender entity in Visio's footer, reported 2,202 originated loans for $692.84 million in 2025 and 2,792 for $844.33 million in 2024, a fall of 21% in loans and 18% in dollars (our arithmetic), at a median note rate of 7.35% in 2025 (HMDA, FFIEC/CFPB Data Browser). Visio's August 6, 2026 release says it has originated “more than $4.8 billion” (GlobeNewswire via FinancialContent); its February 5, 2026 release said “more than $4 billion” (release). We could not find the May 2026 release that this page used to cite for $4.7 billion, so that figure is removed. Complaints and litigation: the CFPB database lists 21 complaints against Visio Financial Services Inc. (CFPB); an earlier version said “minimal-to-zero.” SNU Properties v. Visio Lending was terminated on August 7, 2025 (CourtListener docket); an earlier version called it unresolved. Terms: Visio's website now says “No prepayment penalty available” and advertises 85% LTV on purchases on its home page, while its DSCR page still says up to 80%; an earlier version said Visio has no zero-prepay option. Securitization: SEC EDGAR shows one filing under the CIK of Visio-Beach Point Mortgage Trust, LLC, a Form D of December 18, 2020 (equity, $125,000 sold to 125 investors, industry group “REITS and Finance”); we withdrew the unsourced eleven-deal, $2 billion and 25-40% figures, and Visio's 2019-2 and 2020-1 depositor entities filed Rule 15Ga-1 reports on February 12, 2026 that say “No Activity to Report” for 2025 (Visio 2019-2 Depositor LLC). Our October 17 update above corrects the “not a seller” part: 2026 due diligence reports name this entity as the client that selected loans for Visio 2026-2. Tenure: Jenny Coupland has been CEO for about 21 months, so “every executive under eighteen months” is no longer true; it still holds for the CFO, COO and General Counsel.

Why this review exists

Most Visio Lending reviews online were written before January 2025 and still call Jeff Ball the CEO. He is not. Both co-founders retired in January 2025. The current senior team is Jenny Coupland (CEO, from Beach Point Capital Management), Mimi Frusha (CFO, since February 2026), Michele Kryczkowski (COO, since October 2025), and DeJohn Allen (Chief Administrative Officer & General Counsel, since March 2026).

That matters. As of October 2026, the CEO has about 21 months in her seat and the CFO, COO and General Counsel have under twelve. Coupland's January 2025 announcement also pointed to Visio's "growing real-estate investment trust" line, so the firm's strategic direction is a moving target.

So we rebuilt the review from primary records: 2025 HMDA loan-level data for Investor Mortgage Finance LLC, the CFPB complaint database, CourtListener dockets, SEC EDGAR filings (the Visio-Beach Point Mortgage Trust Form D and the Visio depositors' Rule 15Ga-1 reports), Visio's own website and releases (dated, as the company's claims), Arizona DIFI and California DFPI license databases, Scotsman Guide's DSCR ranking, and BusinessWire/GlobeNewswire/Hedgeweek executive announcements.

1. Company background

The legal entities

Visio is not one simple legal name. The stack matters, especially when you read license records or securitization filings.

• Visio Financial Services, Inc. ("VFS"): primary originator entity; NMLS ID 1935590. Some older aggregator content cites "935590"; that is a transcription error of the real ID with the leading "1" dropped.
• Investor Mortgage Finance LLC ("IMF"): affiliated originator; NMLS ID 2297729. Footer text on visiolending.com states explicitly that loans "are originated by Visio Financial Services Inc. ('VFS') or Investor Mortgage Finance LLC ('IMF')." IMF appears to be the vehicle used in states where VFS does not hold the required license.
• Visio-Beach Point Mortgage Trust, LLC: Delaware LLC formed December 26, 2019, LEI 254900YCB6UROL2IBT83, SEC EDGAR CIK 1833820. The only filing under its own CIK is a Form D filed December 18, 2020 (Rule 506(b) equity offering, $125,000 sold to 125 investors, industry group “REITS and Finance”, Santa Monica address, officers who are Beach Point Capital Management personnel). On October 9 we withdrew the earlier “securitization sponsor and seller” description; since then, Clayton's October 2, 2026 due diligence narrative for Visio 2026-2 has shown that the trust acts as the loan seller in that deal: Clayton reviewed 491 loans on its behalf and the trust “subsequently selected these loans for the Visio 2026-2 transaction” (Clayton report). It is still not the same legal entity as Visio Financial Services, and the filings do not say who owns it. Visio's February and August 2026 releases say the company “manages one of the nation's largest investor-loan Real Estate Investment Trusts”; we cannot tie that REIT to this entity from the filings.
• Visio Lending: the brand / d.b.a. used in marketing.

Origins and pivot to DSCR

Founded 2012. Visio's roots reach back to Econohomes, an Austin distressed-property reseller established by Jeff Ball in 2006. Visio Financial Services was founded in 2012 as a short-term mortgage-finance arm. The pivot to long-term DSCR financing happened in 2015 with the Rental360 launch. The watershed moment was fall 2016, when Visio completed the first-ever investor-only single-asset rental loan securitization, the template every modern DSCR shelf follows.

Headquarters. 1905 Kramer Lane, Suite B700, Austin, Texas 78758. Confirmed by BBB, Yelp (March 2026), and the Visio-Beach Point Mortgage Trust LEI registry. The Guadalupe Street address occasionally cited in older third-party profiles is stale.

Employee count. More than 200 employees per Visio's August 6, 2026 GlobeNewswire release. LinkedIn shows the 51-200 band; PitchBook lists 139. The 200+ figure reflects rapid 2025-2026 hiring under the new C-suite.

Founders and current leadership

Both co-founders retired in January 2025:

• Jeff Ball: co-founder and CEO from inception until January 2025. Now Board Member of Visio-Beach Point Mortgage Trust. Pre-Visio: founded Econohomes 2006; MBA Santa Clara University 1995.
• Matt Matza: co-founder and President. Retired alongside Ball.

Current C-suite (Visio's leadership page also lists Ryan Manning as Chief Technology Officer; tenures below as of October 2026):

• Jenny Coupland — CEO since January 13, 2025. Prior: Managing Director at Beach Point Capital Management LP (Santa Monica), where she ran private investments and structured products. Sat on Visio's board from 2022 prior to promotion. Earlier: attorney at Winston & Strawn and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP. Countrywide alumna (pricing, trading, margin management). JD Northwestern; BS USC.
• Mimi Frusha — CFO since February 5, 2026. 20+ years finance/operations/tech leadership at startup-to-scale companies. Coupland publicly framed her mandate as "optimize warehouse and securitization performance, enhance investor engagement and build the analytic and operational infrastructure."
• Michele Kryczkowski — COO since October 14, 2025. Prior: led mortgage operations at Citibank (drove a "70% decrease in loan costs"); senior roles at Planet Home Lending, First Guaranty Mortgage Corp., Pacific Union Financial, MetLife Home Loans, and Cardinal Financial.
• DeJohn Allen — Chief Administrative Officer and General Counsel since March 12, 2026. Prior: senior legal/strategy roles at Nasdaq-listed Hub Group, Entegris, CMC Materials. Corporate-attorney start at Reed Smith and Latham & Watkins (Chicago). BA/BM/JD Northwestern.
• Carson Ko — SVP Strategic Finance since February 24, 2026.

The through-line is clear: Coupland moved from Beach Point MD to Visio board member to Visio CEO, while Beach Point is the named partner on every rated Visio Trust securitization. That is the institutional capital relationship to understand.

State licenses we verified

The Bain Capital Credit story

Industry chatter and unofficial sources reference a 2018 Bain Capital Credit investment in Visio. No primary source confirms a direct Bain Capital Credit equity investment. Crunchbase lists only $2M total raised; CB Insights lists $24.18M but names only Paycheck Protection Program and Octavia Investments. The institutional balance-sheet partner is Beach Point Capital Management LP via the Visio-Beach Point Mortgage Trust structure.

[UNVERIFIED] If Bain Capital Credit had a confirmable role, primary-source evidence would be expected in SEC filings, ABS-15G disclosures, or named-party press releases. We could not find any.

2. Origination volume

Lifetime trajectory:

These are the company's rounded milestones, not audited totals. An earlier version of this page cited a May 5, 2026 release for $4.7 billion; we could not find it and removed it.

The loan-level check is HMDA: Investor Mortgage Finance LLC (LEI 254900GXB4AVD3FPHO33) reported 2,202 originated loans for $692.84 million in 2025 and 2,792 for $844.33 million in 2024, so the "roughly $600M a year" run-rate in earlier versions was too low for 2025 (HMDA data; script and output saved with this update).

In both years every originated loan was on investment property for business purposes, had a 30-year term, and was reported as sold to an affiliate (HMDA purchaser type 8). The highest LTV was 80.0%, and no loan had an LTV above 80%.

The smallest loan was $75,000 (16 of the 2,202 loans in 2025 were under $100,000) and the largest $2,565,000. Cash-out refinances were 53% of 2025 originations (1,171 of 2,202, our arithmetic). The 2025 file has 4,331 IMF records in all: 2,202 originated, 900 denied, 915 withdrawn and 314 closed as incomplete (our count of the HMDA action-taken codes in the downloaded file). The most frequent first denial reasons were collateral (341), credit history (315) and unverifiable information (182). The most originations were in FL (274 loans), TX (251), NY (203), GA (169) and NC (168).

HMDA records note rates, not APRs, and the 2025 file predates the 85% LTV purchase product now advertised on Visio's home page.

2024 DSCR submitted volume: $854.6 million. Scotsman Guide's 2025 Top DSCR list, which ranks 2024 production, placed Visio as the #1 dedicated DSCR lender in the United States (Scotsman's 2024 list, based on 2023 production, was a Top 5 that did not include Visio) and #7 overall on the Top Private Lenders list. The ranking is gross submitted volume, not net funded, but it remains the most credible independent industry rank for a DSCR-only lender.

Geographic footprint. The "Where We Lend" map on visiolending.com, read September 27, 2026, shows 40 states plus DC. Excluded: AK, MN, NE, NV, ND, OR, SD, UT, VT. Delaware, Idaho, Maine and Rhode Island, which an earlier version of this review listed as excluded, are on the current map. Aggregator claims of "50 states" or "47 states" are wrong. Visio's August 6, 2026 release says it originates in 41 states; HMDA shows 2025 originations in 39 states plus DC. Visio's home page notes that an entity borrower is required in GA, HI, IL, MA, NJ, NY, PA and VA, and that zero prepayment penalty is required in NM, OH, MD, PA and RI.

Product concentration. Visio is dramatically more single-product than peers. Rental360 (long-term DSCR) is the dominant product. Visio also offers vacation-rental DSCR under the Rental360 family, DSCR-underwritten cash-out refinance (53% of Visio's 2025 HMDA originations were cash-out refinances; an earlier figure of 42.4% for the Visio 2022-1 pool is not re-verified), and bridge appears in marketing but is positioned as a gap-filler. There is no fix-and-flip / ground-up construction program of any meaningful depth. That deliberate focus is what lets Visio out-rank multi-product peers on the DSCR-specific Scotsman Guide list.

3. Visio-Beach Point Mortgage Trust: securitization shelf deep dive

Earlier versions of this page repeated a report of eleven S&P-rated securitizations totaling approximately $2 billion. We could not confirm the count, the total or the rating agency from a saved document, so we are not using that claim.

What EDGAR shows: each Visio securitization has its own depositor entity with a separate CIK (Visio 2019-1, 2019-2, 2020-1, 2020-1R, 2021-1R, 2022-1, 2023-1, 2023-2, 2026-1 and 2026-2 Depositor LLC). Visio 2019-2 Depositor LLC (CIK 1790290) and Visio 2020-1 Depositor LLC (CIK 1815419) file annual Rule 15Ga-1 reports, and both reports filed February 12, 2026 for calendar 2025 say “No Activity to Report”, signed by Katherine Mimi Frusha as Chief Financial Officer (2019-2 report; 2020-1 report).

Two new deals appear in 2026: Visio 2026-1 Depositor LLC filed a Form ABS-15G with third-party due diligence reports on July 13, 2026 (filing) and Visio 2026-2 Depositor LLC filed one on October 7, 2026 (filing). The 2026-2 pool reuses loans: Digital Risk says 481 loans it reviewed there were previously included in Visio 2023-1 and Visio 2023-2 (Digital Risk summary). Visio 2023-1 Depositor LLC filed notice on July 31, 2026 that its duty to file Rule 15Ga-1 reports had terminated, the last payment on asset-backed securities held by non-affiliates having been made on July 30, 2026 (filing).

The filings we saved do not give the size, loan count or ratings of the two 2026 deals, so the table marks them n/a. The deals we can document:

Capital-stack structure (representative of Visio 2023-2):

• A-1 (AAA): 38.6% credit enhancement
• A-2 (AA): 30.1% credit enhancement
• A-3 (A): 19.3% credit enhancement
• M-1 (BBB), B-1 (BB-), B-2 (B-): subordinate tranches absorbing first-loss

Underwriter rotation. Barclays Capital is the lead manager on every confirmed deal. Co-managers rotated as the capital markets shifted: Credit Suisse co-managed the 2022-1 deal; after the CS-UBS merger, ATLAS SP Securities (Apollo Global Securities' rebranded ABS group, which absorbed much of Credit Suisse's securitized products platform) replaced CS as co-manager starting with the 2023-1 deal. Nomura joined on 2023-2.

Servicing. Servis One, Inc. d.b.a. BSI Financial Services services every Visio Trust deal. Borrower complaints on Trustpilot referencing "$2,000 paid on a $30 HOA invoice" name BSI specifically. The servicer relationship is a known friction point that Visio does not control directly.

Securitization economics. An earlier version of this page said Visio securitizes roughly 25-40% of its annual production; we have no primary source for that share and withdraw it. What the 2025 HMDA data show is that every IMF-originated loan was reported as sold to an affiliate (purchaser type 8), which is not the same as securitized. Visio's February 2026 release says the new CFO will focus on “expanding warehouse lending facilities”, which points to a business funded by warehouse lines and term securitizations. A rate spike that widens AAA RMBS spreads (e.g., another 2022-style move) compresses Visio's gain-on-sale economics dramatically. This is the central structural risk to monitor.

4. Product specifications: Rental360

Rental360 is the core DSCR program. These terms are sourced from Visio's broker materials and the lendding.com aggregator pulling Visio's published guidelines.

Rental360 parameters

Note on DSCR floor. The "DSCR under 1 available" qualifier is a meaningful product distinction. Many DSCR-aggregator articles say Visio's floor is a hard 1.0. Visio's own broker page says otherwise.

Prepayment penalty options

Three structures were described in earlier versions of this page, all elected at origination (Visio's website now also says “No prepayment penalty available”):

1. 5/4/3/2/1 (standard): 5% Y1, 4% Y2, 3% Y3, 2% Y4, 1% Y5
2. 3/2/1 (buy-down, costs basis points on rate)
3. 3/0/0 (Y1 only, costs basis points on rate)

Correction: earlier versions said Visio does not offer a zero-prepay option. Visio's DSCR page (October 9, 2026) lists “No prepayment penalty available” among its terms, and its home page says zero prepayment penalty is required in NM, OH, MD, PA and RI. The page does not say what a no-penalty quote costs in rate; ask for both quotes. On October 17, 2026 we could not re-find the “No prepayment penalty available” wording on the pages we could read; Visio's DSCR FAQ there says “Yes, the majority of DSCR loans come with prepayment penalties.” Treat a no-penalty option as unconfirmed until you hold a written quote. We have not re-checked the competitor comparisons that used to sit here.

Rates: what closed loans actually paid in HMDA

Visio does not publish a rate sheet. The best independent evidence is loan-level HMDA.

Investor Mortgage Finance LLC's 2025 originated loans had a median note rate of 7.35%, with 10% of loans at or below 6.75% and 90% at or below 8.175%; purchase loans had a 7.30% median, refinances without cash-out 7.275% and cash-out refinances 7.425% (HMDA). In 2024 the median was 7.625%.

These are note rates on closed loans of all FICO, LTV and DSCR profiles, not a quote. Your rate depends on your score, LTV, DSCR and prepayment choice, and Visio's website directs visitors to contact a DSCR expert for rates. An earlier version quoted an aggregator's 6.75%-9.50% range for Q1 2026 and an unsourced claim about rate-sheet execution; both are removed.

5. Regulatory record

California DFPI: No enforcement action against either VFS (60DBO-56345) or IMF (60DBO-160501). Clean record, notably cleaner than peer Lima One Capital, which has a 2020 DFPI Order Summarily Revoking and July 2020 Consent Order on CFL 60DBO-45834.

Arizona DIFI: No enforcement action against either VFS (BK-1010600) or IMF (BK-1034031).

CFPB: Business-purpose loans are statutorily exempt from CFPB's Ability-to-Repay rule and TILA/RESPA Integrated Disclosure rules (12 CFR §1026.3(a) exemption). The exemption does not keep all complaints out of the CFPB Consumer Complaint Database. Searched October 9 and again October 17, 2026 (unchanged), it lists 21 complaints against Visio Financial Services Inc. (CFPB): 14 on mortgages, 5 on credit reporting and 2 on debt collection, received between 2015 and 2025 (the most recent on November 10, 2025), every one closed with an explanation. An earlier version of this page said coverage was “minimal-to-zero”; that was wrong.

SEC enforcement: None.

State AG actions: None surfaced in CA, AZ, FL, NY, or TX regulator portals.

Litigation: SNU Properties LLC v. Visio Lending, 2:23-cv-02658 (D.N.J.), filed May 17, 2023, cause of action “Breach of Contract”, terminated August 7, 2025 per the CourtListener docket record. We have not read the dismissal or settlement papers, so we do not know how it ended. A search of CourtListener for Visio Financial Services also returns four federal civil dockets from 2015-2016 (E.D. Mich., S.D. Ind., E.D. Pa. and N.D. Ga.), all closed by 2018, plus foreclosure-related dockets in which Visio appears as a party; none is a class action that we saw. An earlier version said no other suit surfaced; that was incomplete.

BBB: A+ rating, BBB Accredited, located at 1905 Kramer Lane Suite B700, Austin TX. Specific complaints reference missed close dates (Jan 2 / Jan 5 in one cited case) and processor delays. Exact 3-year complaint count not retrievable via WebFetch (BBB blocked at 403); [UNVERIFIED].

Trustpilot: 4.6 / 5 across approximately 147-185 reviews (counts vary by snapshot date), meaningfully better than Trustpilot scores at most BPL peers (Center Street 1.9/5, RCN mid-3s, Easy Street mid-3s with documented horror stories).

6. Borrower experience and controversies

Recurring complaint themes across Trustpilot, BBB, and BiggerPockets (2023-2026):

1. Closing speed inconsistency. "12 weeks to close a simple real estate transaction" reports coexist with "smooth, fast close" praise. That suggests pipeline-bottleneck issues at certain processors rather than systemic underwriting failure.
2. Last-minute term changes. Multiple reviews cite "terms changed 3 days before closing" and "hidden fees disclosed a day before closing."
3. Payment-servicing friction at BSI Financial. 10-14 day check-posting delays; ACH-forcing; the $2,000-paid-on-$30-HOA-invoice escrow error documented in Trustpilot reviews. These are servicer-level (BSI) issues, not Visio-level.
4. Underwriting variability. "Loan processor sat on documents for weeks before asking questions at the last minute" is the cited BBB complaint pattern.

No class actions surfaced. The only recent federal docket naming Visio Lending as defendant, SNU Properties (D.N.J.), was terminated on August 7, 2025. No regulatory consent orders against either VFS or IMF turned up in the sources we could read.

Compared with RCN Capital's well-documented Shellpoint servicing issues and Easy Street Capital's BiggerPockets Fay Servicing horror stories, Visio's servicing complaints are quieter. But the BSI Financial Services relationship is still the single most likely source of post-closing borrower frustration.

7. 2025-2026 developments timeline

No public capital raise beyond ongoing securitization issuance has surfaced for 2025-2026. Coupland's January 2025 announcement framed her arrival as positioning Visio to lead its “growing real-estate investment trust (REIT) and investor-focused lending business”, and Visio's February and August 2026 releases say it “manages one of the nation's largest investor-loan Real Estate Investment Trusts”. The only SEC record we found under the Beach Point name is the 2020 Form D for Visio-Beach Point Mortgage Trust, LLC (“REITS and Finance”); we cannot confirm from filings that it is that REIT, or that any IPO or new REIT formation is planned. [UNVERIFIED]

Product change in 2026: Visio's home page (read October 9, 2026) now advertises 85% LTV DSCR purchase loans, 15% down, while its DSCR page still says up to 80% LTV. On October 17, 2026 a dedicated 85% LTV page on Visio's site says to put as little as 15% down and pair the loan with its 5/6 ARM Pro, priced “up to 35 bps lower than our 30-year fixed.” We found no release announcing the change, so treat 85% as Visio's claim and confirm it on your quote. The August 6, 2026 release otherwise emphasizes DSCR expertise rather than new product lines.

8. Pros and Cons

9. Aggregator errors to correct

Error 1: "Jeff Ball is current CEO." Multiple aggregator pages (sponsored content on SFExaminer, Closer Weekly, Digital Journal; older NMP pieces) still describe Jeff Ball as Visio's CEO. He retired January 2025. Jenny Coupland is CEO. Primary sources: Hedgeweek January 16, 2025; BusinessWire January 13, 2025.

Error 2: "DSCR loan minimum $150K and maximum $2M." Griffin Funding's "Best DSCR Lenders 2026" page lists Visio's "loan range is $150K-$2M." The range we had on file is $100K – $5,000,000 per the lendding.com aggregator pulling Visio's broker-portal guidelines. Visio's own long-term and short-term rental guides (October 17, 2026) print a $75,000 minimum loan amount and a $150,000 minimum property value and no maximum that we could find, and 2025 HMDA shows loans from $75,000 to $2,565,000; treat the $5,000,000 maximum as the aggregator's claim.

Error 3: "DSCR floor 1.0 hard requirement." Multiple "Best DSCR Lenders 2026" lists state Visio requires a 1.0 DSCR. Visio explicitly offers "DSCR under 1 available." That is meaningful underwriting flexibility aggregators routinely miss.

Error 4: "Bain Capital Credit-backed." Industry chatter references a 2018 Bain Capital Credit investment in Visio. No primary source confirms this. The institutional partner is Beach Point Capital Management via Visio-Beach Point Mortgage Trust LLC formed December 26, 2019.

Error 5: "Founders Jeff Ball and Matt Matza still operationally involved." Both retired January 2025. Ball remains on the Visio-Beach Point Mortgage Trust board only; Matza retired fully. Aggregators referencing them as active executives are stale.

10. Who is Visio Lending right for?

Best investor profile:

• Small-to-medium SFR portfolio US-citizen investor in a major MSA (TX, FL, GA, NC, AZ) looking for $100K-$1M, 30-year fixed, modest leverage (75% LTV cash-out or lower), willing to live with BSI Financial servicing
• The investor who prizes program stability, well-documented rate sheets, and consistent execution over speed-and-flexibility
• An investor whose accountant or attorney wants a securitization-funded lender for predictability of rate (which traces to AAA RMBS spread) over warehouse-spread-priced peers
• 720+ FICO investor seeking the lowest possible DSCR-program rate
• Investors who already lost time at Easy Street or RCN to servicing/closing friction and want a known-cleaner experience

Not a fit:

• Investors needing foreign-national underwriting. Visio does not offer this
