Thank you very much for your response!  That really helps!

Seems you are doing wholesalers transactional funding, what is your fee charger?

I like to keep it super simple, 1% for anything over 100k. But please feel free to go to my website and click on “I Don’t Have A Deal Right Now” and then either myself or my assistant Michelle will send you a reply email with our very simple process and what we would need so you can have it or share with others in the future.  My website can be found in my email signature. 👍🏼👍🏼

Quote from @Tom Gimer:

@Jesse LeBlanc I read the text of the bill and if you do more than 2 deals in 12 months -- even if they are double closes -- you need to be licensed in Maryland as of October 1, 2023. 

License now required:

REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE ACTIVITY IS ENGAGED IN FOR ANOTHER PERSON, ENGAGING IN THE BUYING OR SELLING, OFFERING TO BUY OR SELL, OR MARKETING OF REAL ESTATE OR OTHERWISE DEALING IN CONTRACTS, INCLUDING ASSIGNABLE CONTRACTS, FOR REAL ESTATE OR OPTIONS ON REAL ESTATE, ON TWO OR MORE OCCASIONS IN ANY 12–MONTH PERIOD.

And there you have it 🤘🏼🦾

I’ve not read it yet but that pretty much sums it up!  Thank you sir 👍🏼👍🏼

Quote from @Russell Brazil:

This has been in the works for a couple years now.  Yesterday House Bill 0301 was introduced which..."Altering the definition of "provide real estate brokerage services" to include engaging in the business of real estate wholesaling to require an individual providing such services to be licensed as a real estate broker, an associate real estate broker, or a real estate salesperson."

I expect similar legislation will be introduced very soon in DC as well.


 I expect more and more states over time to be like North Carolina, or now maybe Maryland. The word will spread, then it will be easier to get laws passed for sure.

Quote from @Anthony Howell:
Would this new law strictly apply to assigning contracts or would this also include double closing?

 If you double close, you're fine.  Similar to other states like North Carolina or Illinois.  Assigning is where folks have issues with, but a double closing you legit become the owner and no one can stop you from buying or selling your property and you won't need a license to do so either. 

UNLESS there was some clause where X amount per year, but I doubt that would happen because it's possible someone could buy and sell their primary house in the same year, just very rare.  And then even at that time, it would generally only ever be found out if someone was causing an issue and someone was reported.

Quote from @Sanat Bhandari:

@Jesse LeBlanc Not necessarily, transactional funding just refers to a VERY short-term loan. The fact that it is predominantly used for double closings doesn't mean that it wouldn't be applicable in this situation. 

Any loan that has a repayment expectation within 30 days (at the most) would be considered transactional (though most are a few days to weeks at most). Additionally, since he already has an end buyer lined up even before closing on the deal, this would be a classic transactional lending situation

until the end buyer for some reason backs out or something else happens and you now may have funded 100% on a deal you may now have to foreclose on (worst case), thus not a Transactional Loan, and would then fall into another loan category, hints not A Transactional Loan as the dynamics COMPLETELY change, for example when the lender sends their funds.

which is why myself and other Transactional Lenders don’t classify that as a Transactional Loan, that would be a short term loan but requires additional vetting of the deal, the borrower, loan docs etc changing up the complexity of the deal to no longer being considered a Transactional Loan. 👍🏼

but we see folks all the time asking for “extended Transactional Lending”, we just educate them a little on the definitions and then guide them to another lender to still be able to take care of them unless it was something we personally also wanted to do a short term loan with the additional work and risk involved at a higher rate and term.

Quote from @Owen Dashner:

Sorry, accidentally tagged Jesse instead of @Sawyer Dina in my last post. #sausagefingers

I couldn’t stop laughing at the #sausagefingers @Owen Dashner  LOL

And then by the time you catch it, you can't edit the post ROFL. Yah HML would also definitely work though, just more costly for a short time when Transactional Loans won't work unless they treat their funds like a HML short term loan with loan docs etc.

This wouldn't be Transactional Lending @Sanat Bhandari, but it would be a very short term loan. Transactional Funding is for a double closing. 

@Sawyer Dina I've got a few friends that are private lenders I refer short term loans like this over to, we like to call this "wholetail", buy it then relist, although you already have a buyer lined up ready to go.   More than happy to make the connection for you if you'd like sir.

Although IF POSSIBLE, you might just want to see if the seller will allow you to wait a little longer to close, perhaps offer them another 500-$1,000 more to extend the contract to close when you are able to double close or assign the contract which would SAVE you money vs trying to buy/control now, then have holding costs, insurance etc in the meantime before selling to the neighbor.

You should still be able to assign your contract assuming you have a buyer lined up that wants the property before you go binding with the seller. 

Another option is to double close and use pass through funding or use a Transactional Lender to fund your purchase allowing you to then sell it the same day to your end buyer.  Then instead of you bringing your own cash to the closing, you can use funds from me or another lender for that purpose. :) 

It's the same process as any wholesale deal, just  a different niche you're targeting.  It would be different if it were an auction property where you must bring your cash to auction and you won't be able to assign your contract or sell it same day, that would require another loan type, your own cash or private money to close on.
