Transactional funding and hard money differ greatly.
- Interestingly, most hard money lenders will not do transactional funding because they consider it too risky, and in some cases, they are correct.
- Let’s compare the main aspects of both types of lending:
- What we have is a comparative analysis of the items a hard money versus the transactional funding.
- First of all credit score – for hard money there is a minimum required by every hard money lender; for transactional funding, none.
- Bankruptcy – hard money likely not okay; transactional funding, it’s okay.
- Funds how much – hard money lenders fund 75 to 90%, while transactional funding is always for 100%.
- Funds Repairs – hard money lenders fund 70 to 100% of repair costs, while transactional funders fund none.
- Function of ARV – for hard money lenders yes, transactional funders no.
- Appraisal – hard money yes, transactional funders no.
- Inspection – yes for hard money, no for transactional funding.
- Extensive documentation – yes for hard money, no for transactional funding.
- Need time to fund – hard money 10+ days, transactional funding possibly same day.
- Repayment time – usually 12 months plus or minus for hard money, same day for transactional funding.
- Cost – hard money has interest, closing costs and junk fees; transactional funding 1% plus a $50 wire fee total.
- Experience – hard money much preferred, transactional funding doesn’t matter.
- Failure rate at closing – for hard money 35 to 45%, transactional funding 5 to 10% failure
- These two funding types often come together for closings where an investor is purchasing a property from a property owner and reselling it to an investor who is reselling it, holding it for rental, or for rehabbing it.
- In this case, the investor uses transactional funding to purchase the property, and the investor end-buyer uses hard money to buy and hold the property.
- Transactional funding allows wholesalers to buy and sell without having any more than the Earnest Money Deposit required by the seller which makes it an extraordinary tool for investors.
