💥 There are times that you get a deal that doesn't fit our underwriting criteria. I see this most commonly with EMD borrowers that don't want to pay the upfront fee, or EMD that is under $5-10k and the minimum fee feels too large to them, in comparison. An example might be a $2000 EMD where paying a $1000 upfront fee doesn't make a lot of sense. This is where this community can step in and save the day ... with you. 💙 In cases like the EMD example, there are some people in this community that would like to do the deals, and might do them without upfront fees or for much less of an upfront fee. Therefore, please post them here 💯 - Say what you need in the title ... such as "$2000 EMD Funding Needed with No Upfront Fee" - Then give some basic information about the deal such as the City & State, status of contracts (fully signed, waiting on seller, LOI only, nothing signed, etc) and any other description you want to add. - Select the category at the bottom as Deal, like this post. 👉 If you want to fund deals like this, comment below their post or DM them. DO NOT take this information and go look for the borrower and circumvent the person that posted. That's not what we are about here. We are here to help each other win. Let's start sharing deals and get more of us involved! Just because it doesn't fit our criteria, doesn't mean it can't be funded in this group. ⚠️ This is not for posting deal types we don't fund, such as gap deals, etc. We don't want the community posts to stray from our focus of transactional lending. (some leeway for first position that is too small to get funded though 😁)

Question for the community: Regarding branding and client retention - if I find a client and RQF does all the work/funding, and their name is on all the paperwork, wouldn't that client simply go straight to RQF next time? I worry I'll be on an endless treadmill getting new clients over and over again without any repeat business. What's been your experience?

I hope everyone had a great week. Sundays can be a great time to step back for a second and count our blessings. Thankfulness is the cure to feeling overwhelmed, behind or any of those feelings that don’t uplift us. Please share two things you’re thankful for this past week..

Here is what is possible when you bring us a deal. I'm going to start sharing more of our deals that come through our acquisition team members (you!). We are constantly working on dozens of deals in the system and a little vision into them could be beneficial. Do you want these posts❓ Someone connected us with an Echo deal in Houston. They didn't need to fund it, underwrite it, do the TC work, or bring the capital. We handled all of that for them. They made the introduction and walked away with $1,375. 💰 That is the whole acquisition model. You bring us the connection We do the uw'ing, TC work, legal, title and capital We both get paid And this is not a one time thing. We pay referrers on Stack and Echo deals all the time. Every one of them started with someone who knew a deal and sent it our way. 👉 If your connections keeps coming back, you keep getting paid.

I'm just sitting here working and it hit me how much I appreciate the members here and the many people with whom I get to do this funding shtuf together. 😁 I hope I can add value to this slice of your lives, as you certainly do to mine. Have a great weekend😎
