Funding Strategies for Real Estate Investors: What You Might Be Overlooking

[Maria A Diaz]

Whether you're flipping your first property or scaling your rental portfolio, understanding your funding options is key to closing deals confidently. Here are three strategies investors often miss:

🔹 Gap Funding – Covers the difference between your primary loan and total project costs (like rehab or closing). Great for deals that need a little extra push.

🔹 Transactional Funding – Ideal for wholesalers doing same-day double closings. Fast, short-term, and deal-specific.

🔹 Private Lending with Full Coverage – Some lenders offer funding that includes purchase, rehab, and even closing costs—if the deal qualifies. It’s all about presenting a strong, vetted opportunity.
