      I believe that this is what we used to call "bridge loans".   Investors who assign contracts, do fix and flips, etc.  They need short-term loan money to cover the purchase, before they sell the assignment or flip the fixed-up house.  

    Loan pros John MeussnerGene Mundt, IL/WI Mortgage Originator - FHA/VA/Conv/Jumbo/Portfolio/Refi ,  George Souto or Rob Spinosa may come along and give a more detailed answer.

Deepak, I need a bit more definition. I work with investors who sometimes need non-confirming conventional loans.

Transactional Funding is a broad title to cover a wide range of topics in real estate funding. Essentially, it means a loan to cover a certain transaction. It usually refers to a short term loan to buy and flip a house or an advance on future moneys such as anticpated sales or purchase orders.

I hadn't heard this term - but bridge loan I am familiar with.  I had an investor do this once with one of my other investor clients - 6 month loan with a balloon payment so my buyer could get the house that he wanted when he couldn't get the financing quite yet.  He knew he could 6 months down the road so the 1st investor financed him, 2nd investor paid him off when he refinanced into a traditional loan.  Worked out great for both of them. -Kasey

It works a lot like hard money financing. Lots of points, higher interest rate and short term payback is part of the structure.

I work with a lot of non traditional loans, but have not heard one called this. I have heard something similar as in quick money to close or like mentioned, a bridge loan whiel something else needs to be sold and closed.

Tranactional Funding is a means of real estate investing, but on the banking side. (these folks know where the real money is)  Typically this is a loan that exists for a few hours or a day, and not longer.

It is NOT purposed to allow flipping.

Most often used in B2B where same day closing or next day closing is needed. This is an excellent way to put those Roth 401Ks to work.

The problem is VOLUME. To make real money the Transactional Funding source must be utilized multiple times a month. The interest earned can be impressive.

Steps to take:

Hire an attorney

Create LLC

Fund with self-managed 401.

Identify title company to use. (usually owned by attorney above)

Hire a marketing expert in the real estate investor community.

Thanks for the feedback. Basically its a Short term Loan Most often used in Back 2Back  where same day closing or next day closing is needed.  Investors are using their cash / retirement plans etc to provide funding.

I will be exploring more into this as our investir group is seriously interested in this Investment vehicle.
