Successfully flipping real estate deals in 2018 relies a lot on finding end buyers with the financial means to purchase properties. The more that flippers and wholesalers can help prospective buyers find and connect with financing, the more deal volume to be done, and the faster they can be flipped.
Here are seven ways your flipper, rental property, and retail buyers can fund their purchases from you this year.
IRAs & 401ks
There is a lot more awareness of the ability to invest in real estate through self-directed retirement accounts today. Others still need to be turned on to the option. Though many more may begin to use these account options as the stock market continues to inflate and stocks become more expensive.
1031 Exchanges
Some US real estate markets appear to have matured, as have some individual investments. By using a 1031 exchange, investors can acquire your deals, while deferring tax liability on their gains.
Private Lending
Investor buyers without enough of their own cash and capital can find that individual private lenders are still the best option for financing. These lenders can be far more aggressive in terms and loan amounts, and are typically far faster and easier to work with.
Hard Money Loans
These loans are great for those who don’t want to deal with the hassles of conventional mortgage loans, or may be buying properties with repair needs that fall outside of conventional underwriting requirements.
Rehab Loans
Whether from investor specific lenders or the FHA 203k loan, there are great funding options for acquiring houses at a discount that need some repairs or updating.
Low Down Payment Loans
While investor loan LTVs have risen to 90% and even 100% in some cases, regular home buyers are also finding more and more low down payment options as well. This ranges from government loan programs like USDA and VA loans, to those offered by mortgage lenders like Flagstar which can be combined with local down payment assistance programs.
Seller Financing
Seller financing is still one of the best ways to ensure fast resales at maximum resale prices. That may be a low down payment large first mortgage, or carrying a second mortgage loan.

Your company responded with in a few minutes while the competitor has yet to respond weeks later even after multiple phone calls and emails. Thanks again for the unmatched customer service."

"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."
- La'Donna Turnipseed-Scott, Investor, LA
"....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!'"

Our deal met your qualifications and every time Rob Kozak or any member of Mystic Properties, LLC phoned, we received a "real" person dialing back to speak with us.
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.
Your help negotiating with our title company made our back-to-back deal, finally happen. People noticed on settlement day how effectively and efficiently your part of the transaction was organized and executed. Again, thank you for truthfully being the "BEST" at what you do!"
