Transactional Funding
Jump to Section Below
#1 - What is Transactional Funding?
Transactional funding is a very short-term loan used by real estate wholesalers to facilitate their deals. Real estate wholesalers usually find deeply discounted deals and connect sellers and buyers for a profit. But don’t call wholesalers ‘brokers’ – there is no public marketing and the wholesalers has to enter contract in order to secure the deal. Transactional funders provide the money needed to either enter a secured contract or an earnest money deposit with the seller. Wholesalers then either assign the contract to a buyer or double escrow to the end buyer.
If you are performing a double escrow (or double close) or assigning the contract and need ‘same day’ funds – transactional funding can make it happen in a matter of a day or two. It is not unusual for the entire transaction to be no more than 1 or 2 days total.
#2 - Who Can Use Transactional Funding?
Wholesalers who don’t want to use their own money are the best example of transactional funding. By using other peoples money, wholesalers can make money from pure hussle. It can be used for other business transactions, but it’s mostly flippers and real estate pros who use it as a tool to facilitate deals. Transactional funding can be used for the following:
- Double escrow
- Bank sale or short sale
- Auction real estate
- Contract Assignment
- Earnest Money Deposit
- Flip any real estate – single family home, commercial, or land

#5 - What is the difference between transactional funding and a hard money loans?
Both transactional funding and hard money loans share a common theme – high risk money provided from one party to another. While a hard money loan is just like a traditional loan with less requirements, a transactional funding is different in practice – it’s usually not structured as a loan. Most transactional funders provide the money to facilitate a secured transaction as a joint venture, also called ‘cash-on-cash’ investment. The money is secured by the discounted contract provided by the wholesaler, and is only approved once all parties are ready to move.
There is also a significant difference in what is required to get approved. Transactional funding requires almost no documents to get approved. Credit and income do not matter, and investors do not need to meet LTV requirements in order to qualify. That’s not to say it’s easier to qualify for a transactional funding – you still need to find a discounted deal, convince the seller to sign, and find a cash buyer.
