Generally it is difficult for investors and wholesellers to get short-term loans quickly. This can be critical if a great potential deal is on the short term horizon. A lot of these short term loans are with unscrupolous lenders with super high interest rates and bad terms.

What is Transactional Funding

Transactional Funding is also known as "same day funing" or "flash funding". This is a specialized financial procedure which investors get very short term loans to complete transactions.

These alternative forms of financing, investors and wholesellers are used to buy and sell high profit properties without risking their own savings.
