Despite the availability of 100% financing for purchasing and flipping investment properties with transactional funding some in search of true no money down deals still struggle to come up with earnest money deposits to lock down the most attractive bargains whether they are foreclosures, HUD homes, short sales or from other distressed sellers.

Transactional funding does offer 100% financing to cover both the acquisition price plus closing costs, but if you have to come up with a deposit to get a signed contract and you are running short on cash what are your options?

Obviously reaching out to friends and family isn’t ideal. You can try other investors and offer them a piece of the pie but that can really dig into your profits and mean giving up some control. Though don’t give up yet.

If you still have a regular job too then you can always try getting a payday advance loan. Normally they do not require any credit checks and can be funded in hours. You can also get a cash advance from one of your credit cards and pay it off within the grace period to avoid finance charges. If you don’t have a credit card or good credit and you do have savings but just don’t want to use them, then consider a secured credit card or secured line of credit from your bank. This will also help rebuild your credit rating.

If your credit isn’t bad then what about a signature personal loan from a local bank? Of course it is much better to keep your personal and investment credit separate and you will want to register a business to work under if you haven’t already. This opens the door to obtaining a business line-of-credit or even getting an AMEX card.

If none of the above are options, don’t panic yet. Transactional funding is often referred to as ‘flash funding’ for a reason - you can close in just days. There is a good chance that if you can close fast enough you won’t even need to make a deposit. If you absolutely must then ask your transactional lender about a Proof-Of-Funds (POF) or Verification of Deposit (VOD) letter which may be sufficient to help you get the deal accepted.
