Transactional Funding

[Account Closed]

Hi
I was wondering if anyone can give me a little more detail maybe even a scenario on how to use a company like Coastal funding (transactional funding).
Is this mainly just for wholesaling?
Has anyone used coastal funding for any of their deals before? Can you use transactional funding on a fsbo?
And is it worth it? fsbo or reo

sorry for so many questions just interested in this topic

Thanks in advance

Hi Greg!

I know nothing about this particular company but transactional funding is very useful for wholesalers in areas where title companies will not perform simultaneous closings where your buyer comes to the closing table with the funds...but you must have a buyer lined up in advance just as you were to have a simultaneous closing. Many investors are using private money now as hard money is a dying breed in this credit crunch era but Trans funding is a valuable alternative for the wholesaler.

You can use transactional funding for short sales, REO's FSBO, etc. It is a great way to flip deals without using any of your own money or credit.

You must have the contract between you and the selling party (A to B transaction) as well as your end buyer in place (the B to C transaction).

Note: Make sure to place your offers in the name of your entity and not your own name, get decent or above average earnest money deposits from your end buyers, and have back-up buyers in place. Doing these items will help your transactions flow smoothly and keep you profitable. ALso know that Bank of America and Wells Fargo have addendums in short sales that stipulate you can not re-sell the property inside of 30 days which kills the transactional funding from Coastal and all other transactional funders EXCEPT me. I can be that source as well if you wish.

Will,
What are you doing to get around this 30 day period, and are you making money doing this type of funding?

[Will Barnard]

Unless you can get Bof A or Wells to remove the condition in the addendum, there is no way around the 30 day seasoning and therefore, investors will need someone like me to fund those deals.
Here is how it would work: You have a Bof A short sale and can not get the 30 day removed, you have the A to B contract locked up and you already have an end buyer (B to C contract in place), I see all the docs including the short sale approval letter, the title company info(I can provide if you don't have one) and the end buyers funding approval (if not all cash). I thne supply all the cash (including the clsoing costs) so you have no out of pocket money and clos eyour A to B transaction. Then in 30 days, the B to C can begin to clsoe and it funds and closes within a max of 2 more days for a total of 32 days max. The c funds are used to pay your profit margin less my fees.

Does that answer your question?

Best regards,

Will,

So, you are doing transactional funding, but unlike 1daydough, etc, you will wait the required 30 days to get your funds returned? How cool is that! :-)

I read some of the material regarding this funding that Will is offering. The 30-day funding has a different fee structure than the 1 to 3 day funding.

But it is cool for those who need it.

[Will Barnard]

Bill, that is correct, but as Steve pointed out, the fees are obviously higher since the term and risk is longer/higher.

Will,

We are in the process of negotiating on a few BofA loans. We have yet to receive their conditions, but we are anticipating the 30 day seasoning. My question is are the lender's 30 day seasoning requirements similar to FHA's 90 day, as in you cannot open escrow to a property until the seasoning has passed? Or can you open escrow and close on the 31-32 day?

Thanks in advance for any information,

Dan Walters

[Will Barnard]

Dan, it is not similar to the FHA rule of seasoning, it simply states you must be on title for 30 days before a transfer of title can ocurr.

I sent you a PM as requested in your colleague request.

[Paul Barrow]

I have noticed two trends in transactional funding. The 30 day seasoning is coming up more often from the lender side, but also more title companies are refusing to close back-to-back deals even if both sides are funded! [LINK AND SOLICITATION REMOVED]
