No. Transactional Funding occurs because you can't do that anymore. No more "simultaneous" closings.
If an investor is doing a flip where he is buying the property on a short sale or REO, and he already has another buyer lined up who wants to buy the property, (Commonly called A to B to C transaction in the short sale world.) he has to do back to back closings. 2 in a row instead of 1 simultaneous and each closing has to stand on it's own. Money from the B-C transaction cannot fund the A-B transaction. Many investors (B) need cash to fund the first transaction. This is where Transactional Funders come in. They fund the A-B transaction on behalf of the investor. This is typically a 1 day loan and the fee is typically 1-2%.
I do want to be a Transactional Lender. My understanding is that the contract is actually between the Trans Lender and the Title Co. handling both transactions.
The agreement is that this money is used to fund the A-B and then paid back plus fee in the B-C transaction. If the B-C transaction falls apart for some reason, the title company nullifies the A-B.
My question is just about the details of this contract between the Title Co and the Trans Lender. How is this done exactly? Is it a simple side contract or is it something much more complex?
