Why transactional funding matters

Transactional funding lets real estate investors purchase a property without using their own money. It’s most useful in double closings—buying and selling on the same day. This type of financing might only be needed for 24-72 hours, but it opens doors to opportunities that require immediate action.

How it works

Fast transactional funding solutions work by fronting the cost of a property for a very short term. Here’s how:

• You identify a property and a buyer ready to purchase it from you
• The lender provides funds for you to purchase the property
• On the same day or shortly after, you resell the property to the end buyer
• Profits from the second deal are used to repay the short-term loan

Who should use it

This option is ideal for:

• Wholesalers securing A-to-B closings
• New investors without large capital reserves
• Experienced flippers who prefer to keep liquidity high
• Investors handling simultaneous closings

Requirements to qualify

Qualifying for transactional funding is easier than other loans since lenders rely on the end buyer’s funds. Typically, you’ll need:

• A signed AB contract (you’re the buyer)
• A signed BC contract (you’re the seller)
• Proof that the end buyer has funding in place
• Clear title conditions

Choosing the right lender

Not all lenders operate at the speed or flexibility you need. Should you prioritize low fees, fast execution or easier requirements? Ideally, a top lender should:

• Offer same-day funding when required
• Not require credit checks or appraisals
• Fund up to 100% of the purchase price

Timeline for funding

Most lenders can fund your transaction in 24-48 hours once paperwork is complete. Timing depends on:

• Title company coordination
• Buyer deposit and confirmation timeline
• Seller flexibility and due diligence

Fees and costs

Fees are usually expressed as a flat rate or small percentage of the loan. Expect typical fees around 1-2% of the purchase price, sometimes a minimum amount applies. Always check for junk fees or hidden charges.

Some firms offer bundled services to minimize costs on multiple deals. See our full lending structure via our homepage. Compare cost breakdowns across real estate types at https://www.forbes.com.
