The majority of banks or private money lenders do not provide EMD and Transactional lending. If you're a wholesaler seeking joint venture with a reliable partner that will provide EMD or Transactional funding for your multiple deals, Capital Made Simple can serve as your dependable partner.

• Timing is crucial. The sooner you inquire about EMD, the higher the likelihood that we can assist you. If you are already past the halfway point of your inspection period with no buyer, we may not be able to provide funding.

• This doesn't involve a loan. Instead, it's a joint venture where we provide the EMD for the deal in exchange for a fee. Usually, this applies to the seller-to-wholesaler part of the deal, not the wholesaler-to-end buyer part (A to B, not B to C). The repayment of my funds and my fee is usually derived from the wholesaler's assignment fee.

• We consistently utilize a Transaction Coordinator, which may involve an additional fee unless I am collaborating with my partner who has an in-house TC.

• We organize our agreement to mitigate any potential financial loss if your deal doesn't come to fruition. Documentation is necessary to guarantee the return of my funds.

• We aim to assist you, so effective communication is crucial. I will require specific details from you, such as the purchase contract, to evaluate the opportunity. Without the essential information, I am unable to provide funding.

• The non-refundable deposit (minimum $250) includes wire transfers, additional fees, and the opportunity cost of having my funds invested in your deal. If the deal is completed, the deposit will be allocated towards my fee. It is possible to send the deposit via wire transfer or Zelle.

• Additional documentation, such as our Joint Venture (JV) agreement and escrow instructions concerning the repayment of my EMD and fee, will be required.

• The standard timeframe is up to 30 days. Extending beyond this duration can be negotiated and will result in extra charges.

• Except for the 5% deposit, all funds must be processed through a title company or closing attorney, as per the state regulations.

• We enjoy engaging in negotiation. Every transaction varies, so here are the price brackets.

  • 0-5k we charge $2000-10,000

  • 5,001-15k we charge $4000-30,000

  • 15,001-25k we charge $8000-50,000

  • 25,001 - 50k we charge $20,000-100.000

  • 50,001 - 75k we charge $34,000-150,000

  • 75,001 - 100k we charge $50,000-200,000

  • EMD 100k and more need to be discussed over the phone

  • For EMD we have a 5% upfront deposit ($250 minimum), NON REFUNDABLE, credited toward the fees if the deal goes through. (This fee is wired or zelled directly to us and paperwork on fees will reflect the difference between initial deposit and fee)
