What is Transactional Funding?
Transactional Funding is a short-term loan provided to real estate wholesalers who purchase and quickly re-sell a property the same day. This strategy is often called a "Double Closing" or "Back to Back Closing." A transactional funding lender will typically loan 100% of the money needed to the wholesaler for them to close the transaction in addition to all the applicable closing costs.
The lender requires no credit check or down payment, but the wholesaler must have an end buyer in place to complete the real estate transaction. In addition, the wholesaler must buy and sell the property in the name of an LLC. (It cannot be done under their own name)

How does transactional funding work?
A typical wholesale real estate transaction using transactional funding looks like this...
- Wholesaler finds and signs a contract to purchase a property from the seller/owner for a purchase price of $150,000
- End-buyer/investor signs a contract to purchase the property from the wholesaler for a purchase price of $175,000 closing the same day as the first transaction.
- The lender sends funds to facilitate the first transaction between the wholesaler and the property owner on the day of closings.
- Later the same day, the wholesaler sells the property to the end-buyer/investor.
- The wholesaler uses the funds from the second transaction to pay back the lender and keeps the difference as their profit.
Transactional funding example:
- The seller of the property is called "Party A". The wholesaler is called "Party B". The end-buyer of the property is called "Party C". This is why often transactional funded deals are referred to as "A to B & B to C" Transactions.
- The seller (Party A) sells the property to the wholesaler (Party B) who uses transactional funding from thier lender to complete the transaction. This is known as the A to B Transaction.
- Then the wholesaler (Party B) sells the property to the end-buyer/investor (Party C) who uses his own cash to buy the property. This is known as the B to C Transaction.
- The Wholesaler then uses proceeds from the B to C transaction to pay back the transactional funding used on the A to B transaction.
- The left over funds from the B to C transaction is the wholesalers profit margin on the real estate deal.

FAQ's About Transactional Funding
When is Transactional Funding Needed?
Wholesalers use our Transactional Funding Service for two basic reasons:
1. They have a contract that is NOT ASSIGNABLE to a third party. This is typical when purchasing properties off MLS, bank owned properties, or properties owned by government entities (HUD, FHA, Fannie Mae, etc).
2. The wholesaler is choosing not to assign the contract in order to maximize their wholesale markup. Many times end buyers will not purchase a property if the assignment fee is too high. You do not have to disclose your contract details to the end buyer when you utilize Transactional Funding.

Do you have a preferred Title Company, Closing Attorney or Escrow Agent that I can work with?
Yes! If you need a referral, we have a vast network of closing agents, that we have worked with previously, to help close your transactions. By using our preferred partners, your deals will close faster and with ease! Sure, you can still choose your own closing agent whether that is a title company, closing attorney, or other escrow agent. We will verify their credentials prior to closing. Regardless of whom you choose, we will be here to work with them to ensure a smooth and seamless closing.

Why, in some cases, do I need to use two different closing agents for a simultaneous closing?
In many cases, the bank will mandate a closing agent to facilitate your purchase. Generally, these closing agents are under contract with said bank and are limited in their capacity to conduct simultaneous closings. In this situation, we suggest utilizing a second closing agent for your resale transaction with your end buyer. It does take slightly more coordination, but in the end, it gets the job done!

Do you provide funding for more than one day?
We provide transactional funding to accommodate all of your wholesale (flip) needs and from time to time our funds are out for more than one day! You have to have a committed buyer lined up though, and the deal needs to make sense. Then if it takes more than a day, we will likely be ok with it. Keep in mind that this is not hard money. If you're looking to do a rehab, or close now and find a buyer later, that's simply not what we do.
