How can you save our real estate transactions when your financing hits hurdles?
Real estate financing may have become marginally easier to obtain over the last year, but that doesn’t mean that everything will always flow smoothly. Often small quirks can easily be overcome. In other cases the deal just hits a roadblock. Experienced real estate investors learn to recognize the difference. So if your current mortgage loan app is at a dead end or stalemate, how can you save your deposit, funds invested in due diligence, and get the deal done?
1. Tap Retirement Funds to Put Down More Money
In many cases getting a loan is simply about an acceptable risk level for the lender. Many other factors can be overcome if buyers are putting down more money. This can help outweigh being light on assets, having high debt ratios, or weak credit. One of the places to tap extra cash to save the deal is retirement investment accounts. If you are purchasing your own home and are a first time buyer you may be able to tap your 401k or IRA without triggering any taxes. As an investor, rolling over to a self-directed account can make the whole deal even more profitable.
2. Partner Up
If your deal is on the rocks, a conventional loan isn’t an option, but you don’t want to lose the opportunity consider bringing in a partner. If the deal is that good there should be no shortage of potential partners willing to come in with the cash to complete. This can be friends, family, local private lenders, crowdfunded capital, or other peer investors you find online or at area groups.
3. Hard Money Loans
If your original financing is caught in the weeds due to technicalities and paperwork quirks try hard money loans. This offers far more common sense underwriting, and a hard money lender could swoop in and save your deal, and close in just a few days.
4. Transactional Funding
Transactional funding could really be the ace up the sleeve of many real estate investors when they need to close on a deal fast, but don’t have extra cash to put in. Transactional lenders can provide up to 100% financing, with no new appraisal, and can close in just days. It may be the perfect solution to save what you’ve put into this deal, get closed, and still make a profit.

"I was studying on how transactional funding works and you guys had the best and most thorough explanations posted so I could fully understand the details in back to back closing. I'd already started setting everything up but your video confirmed that I'm on the right track."

"....a few months back, I happened upon a video, on your site, regarding the use of transactional funding with Hud properties; and I found myself replaying the video over and over because of the value that I saw in the message...it actually explained the process, step-by-step on how to submit a Hud deal by using transactional funding. Once I completed the video, my initial response was to take immediate action by duplicating what I had learned from the video into real time. So I did some research on properties in a market where I knew I had buyers; and put together a hud deal. I then located a realtor able and willing to submit my bid online and within a couple of days, to my surprise, received a call telling me that I had won – my very 1st Hud bid."
"To you I say, ”KUDOS to Best Transactional Funding and Thank you for providing the education and services to Real Estate Entrepreneurs like me. Please keep up the good work!'"

Your patience and persistence were exceptional in dealing with our business interests. Thank you for such great customer service! We look forward to working with your staff, again, in the future. We like referring people to you, as us, our team would have missed-out on an excellent earning opportunity.
