Crazy little story from this week… I was getting ready to head out to a local meetup when my phone lit up around 4:00 PM EST. A wholesaler had a deal tied up on an RV park and needed a $10,000 earnest money deposit fast. Seller deadline was approaching, and the deal was on life support. Instead of rushing blindly, we slowed down and did it right. First, I needed to vet the lender — spoke with her directly, learned her funding structure, and made sure everything made sense. Then I had the borrower introduce me to title so I could verify who was handling the file. Spoke with title, reviewed the situation, and even discussed getting a mutual release signed if needed so everyone understood the process. Next morning, I followed back up: ✔️ Confirmed documents were in order✔️ Verified wiring instructions✔️ Reconfirmed title was ready to receive funds Then the wire was sent. $10,000 EMD funded to title. The best part? We beat the seller’s deadline by 20 minutes. Deals don’t always fall apart because they’re bad deals… sometimes they fall apart because people move too slow. This one didn’t. Real estate teaches you quickly: speed matters, but doing things the right way matters even more. If you need transactional funding let’s talk. Email: dlsfunds.denise@gmail.com
