As we head into the new year, I want to help members of Transactional Funding Hub start January by doing real deals, and getting 2026 goals flowing fast. I’m considering running a free 5-day New Year challenge (likely in the first week or two of January) with one clear outcome: 👉 Help you find and actively move at least ONE real deal in January. This would not be about motivation or “getting pumped up.”It would be about: - Clear, daily actions (30 minutes or less) - Outreach, conversations, and deal-finding reps - Applying what’s already in this community to real situations This is for members who want to: - Stop overthinking and start executing - Build confidence through action - Use transactional funding as a practical tool, not just an idea Before I lock this in, I want to see who this would actually serve .. and what the winner wins!

👋 I’m Tina Marić and I live in Toronto, Canada. I look forward to meeting you all! Here is my contact info if ever needed Tinamaricrealty@gmail.com 416.985.5161 💬 What got me interested in real estate is seeing so many profit and tax advantages compared to other investment vehicles. I was on the path to becoming a financial advisor and I'm so glad I stopped and switched over to the real estate world. I am a local real estate agent, short term, mid term and long term investor in single family homes. I have been through a custom home building. I also worked for a hard money lender in USA and now I understand their processes. Aside from that, I have lately been involved with large development projects funding and large assets acquisitions (50M+). Very new to this world but slowly working on expanding my knowledge and contacts. I also own one property across the border looking to acquire more. Gator was interesting to me as this strategy feels more in control of funds then traditional PML (obviously if done properly, so I'm here to learn) 🌎 Outside of real estate I mostly love talking about business. Topic feels neutral (as oppose to politics or religion) and "endless" in the amount of learning from personal and other experiences. It also moves the needle forward for me allows me to level up and stay on top of new inventions and trends. Croatia is also a topic I can talk about a lot, as that's where I came from and I can offer some good advice which places to visit. Other than that I'm occupied with kids and their learning paths... I'm always interested to hear what other parents are doing with those types of decisions. —-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question from Tori (thanks!): What is the typical fee for helping someone secure funding, and where do you usually go to source that funding? I will assume that this is about asset backed lending, and not escrow protected funding (aka transactional funding) that we do. We split profits 50/50 and you can come to us. 😉 Let's talk about this through the asset backed lending lens. 💎 In short, we get paid for creating value ... ... and the first step is understanding who the value is being created for. 1️⃣ Sometimes the value is for the borrower, in which case they need to explicitly pay us for helping structure or source the funding. 2️⃣ More often, the value is for the lender, and they’re the one who pays us a referral or broker fee. For example, when it comes to second-position money on fix & flips, there are countless borrowers looking for it, and lenders already see piles of those deals every day. Simply bringing a second-position deal usually doesn’t create much value for the lender, so the fee may be very small or nonexistent—unless the deal is a true unicorn (e.g., under ~70% total LTV in second position with strong returns). On the other hand, hard money (HML) and DSCR lenders are almost always looking for clean, well-structured deals. Many of them have standard referral arrangements: 💰 Some pay a percentage of their fee (low end being 10%) 💰 Others offer flat fees, typically 25–100 basis points, and some allow you to decide on this 🗝️ It's important to clarify in our own heads upfront 1) what value we’re providing, 2) who benefits, and 3) who is paying for that value. ⏩ As for sourcing this kind of lending, that part is more nuanced. At Real Quick Funds, we work with: ▶️ A couple of DSCR brokers with whom we have history, and ▶️ A couple hard money lenders / brokers with whom we also have long standing relationships ❌ We don’t currently have a capital source that takes second-position deals at scale, so when those come up ... we use it as an opportunity to sell transactional funding!

Hey Paul, I just wanna take a second to sincerely THANK YOU for everything you are putting together for this group. I am so happy to be a part of this group and I see big things ahead. Can't wait for this journey to get bigger and bigger by the day. THANK YOU again for all the time and effort you're putting in for us!!! ❤️🔥👍

On Monday, we’re launching a Premium Tier inside the Transactional Funding Hub❗ The simplest way to explain it is this: Premium helps you build your funding brand, giving you a natural next step in your conversations that leads them to submitting deals, and it comes with advanced funding method training and anytime access to prior trainings and community calls so you can always refresh yourself on the topics you need — so its the next natural step in your growth as a funder. 👉 From “let me explain” to “let's get you funded; here's my site.” Here’s what that actually looks like: - Your own custom funding website + subdomain : Something real and credible you can send people to when funding comes up that will look and feel like you want. - Private Premium calls (2x per month): Smaller group, more focused, very deal-oriented. - Full access to the training vault: All past calls, trainings, and masterclasses in one place. - Advanced funding strategies (Premium only): Full details on Stack / Morby method and Echo funding. We've tried to value this using other programs and sources, and conservatively the value is north of $400/month. That’s not how we’re pricing it for this community. We don't want the price to prohibit progress. The regular price will only be $118/month! 😁 AND ... we are running a 💥grand opening💥 for the Premium Tier! ... with a 50% discount 👀 for the first 30 days, so it's only $59/mo. The best part is that whatever price you start at will be grandfathered for you as long as you are in Premium. A couple important things to be clear about: ✅ Premium is not required ✅ It’s not for everyone ✅ We’ll continue building strong education, having live discussions, and supporting the entire community just as we have done so far Premium is simply there for people who want a real brand behind their conversations and an easier path from interest to actual deals. 🚶🏼‍♂️ We’ll walk through everything and answer questions live on Monday’s update + co-creation call.
