EMD, Double Close & Stack Method Funding

The Capital Constraint Stops Here

You've figured out acquisitions. You know how to find deals and get them under contract. The only thing slowing you down is capital, and that's exactly what we provide.

The Process

How It Works

Three funding paths. Clear steps and transparent fees.

Double Close Funding

Here's what happens after you submit your double close request.

1

Contract review

We typically review your request within 30 minutes. AB and BC contracts must be fully executed, parties and addresses match, enough spread for all costs, both closing the same day.

2

Title introduction

Introduce us to your title company as the AB funder. We confirm the amount and sign off on the final HUD showing the safe return of our capital.

3

Buyer funds in escrow

Your end buyer's money must be in escrow first. This is non-negotiable. Once docs are signed and disbursement is ready, funds go out immediately.

Stack Method Funding

Here's what happens after you submit your Stack Method request.

1

Review your seller carry-back

We typically review your request within 30 minutes. The seller must clearly agree to a seller carry-back structure, with enough seller financing to cover closing costs and fees.

2

Receive your setup guide

We send VIP links for setting up your bank account and agreements confirming our funding. The contracts also clarify our role so everything stays transparent with your lenders.

3

Schedule your intake call

Our team reviews your deal and confirms our ability to help you close. We'll also check whether you qualify for Stack Pro, which lets you bypass the upfront fee and handle contracts and lending logistics on your own.

4

Set up your dashboard account

Your dashboard keeps communication with our team clear and organized through every step needed to get your deal to the finish line.

EMD Funding

Here's what happens after you submit your EMD request.

1

Preliminary approval

We typically review your request within 30 minutes. Contracts must be fully executed, EMD refundable, and the inspection period at least 7 days out.

2

Sign the agreements

We send you an EMD Agreement to sign and a Mutual Release for your seller to sign.

3

Title confirmation

Introduce us to your title company so they confirm they'll honor our agreements and accept third-party EMD.

Questions

Frequently Asked.

How much do you charge?

EMD funding is 5% upfront (non-refundable, $1,500 minimum) plus 20% at closing. Double close funding starts at 1.5% when both sides close at the same title company, plus 1% for expedited or separate-title closings, with a $1,500 minimum.

Stack Method funding is a 2.5% minimum fee with a $2,500 minimum return.

What qualifies as double closing?

Two fully executed contracts (A to B and B to C) with matching parties and addresses, enough spread to cover all costs, and both sides closing the same day. Your end buyer's funds must be in escrow before we fund.

What qualifies as the Stack Method?

Layered financing built on a seller carry-back. The seller must clearly agree to the carry-back structure, with enough seller financing to cover closing costs and fees. Requests need at least one week's notice.

Can you fund EMD for end buyers?

We can fund EMD for end buyers if you and the seller sign an addendum making the inspection period go through the close of escrow. All details will be sent when your deal is submitted.

Is there a max amount you can fund?

There is no limit. As long as your deal qualifies under our standards, we will be your one stop shop for all transactional funding both now and in the future!

How quickly can we get our deal funded?

We typically review requests within 30 minutes. Once the agreements are signed and title confirms, funds move. Standard double close pricing needs one week's notice; faster closings are available at the expedited rate.

What happens if the deal doesn't close?

If an EMD deal does not close, we just have the EMD sent back. Your only cost would be the up front fee and nothing else.

For double closing and seller carry-backs there would be no charge since we don't fund until closing.

About Us

Meet Luis

I spent 11+ years leading multimillion-dollar retail operations, fixing broken systems and managing complex projects under pressure. That background in execution and risk management shapes how I run my business and my relationships today.

Today, I provide short-term funding for investors who need reliable capital for EMDs and double closes. I focus on clean deals, disciplined underwriting, and clear communication so funds land when they're supposed to.

Family-first and relationship-driven, I'm not here to fund everything. I'm here to protect capital, keep transactions tight, and help serious operators close with confidence.
