Why Do So Many Real Estate Deals Die in Escrow?

The #1 reason good projects stall? Funding gaps.

Most investors don’t realize:
• Banks often say "no" to unconventional deals (even with strong collateral)
• Traditional lenders move at glacial speeds (while off-market opportunities vanish)
• Many borrowers overestimate what "private money" actually costs

The reality? Strategic private capital bridges these gaps by:
✔ Underwriting based on asset strength (not just credit scores)
✔ Funding in days/weeks (not months)
✔ Offering creative structures (profit-sharing, deferred payments, etc.)

Question for fellow investors: What’s been your biggest financing hurdle?
