Transactional Funding in North Carolina
Transactional funding for double closings across North Carolina.
For wholesalers and assignment deals, we fund the A-to-B leg so you can close the B-to-C. Short-term capital, a flat fee, no credit check and no appraisal. North Carolina is the state to read the rules in first: closings run through an attorney, and a wholesaling license bill has already passed the House. Business-purpose only, and every structure is set in underwriting.

How it works
Funding is typically same-day with flat-fee pricing and no appraisal or credit check, since the loan is repaid from the simultaneous resale. Bring us the closing docs and we handle the rest.

Local FAQ
Transactional Funding in North Carolina, answered.
Do I need a real estate license to wholesale in North Carolina?
Not today, but this is the most actively contested question in the state, so read the next answer too. The baseline is the principal exemption under NCGS Chapter 93A: a bona fide party to a purchase contract may assign its own contract rights without a broker license. That is a general-summary reading of Chapter 93A rather than a section we read word for word, and the North Carolina Real Estate Commission has published bulletins warning consumers and brokers about unlicensed activity. Where the line sits is between selling your own equitable interest and marketing someone else's property, and that distinction is fact-specific. We are a lender, not your counsel. Have a North Carolina real estate attorney review your contract and your marketing before you run the strategy at volume.
Did North Carolina make residential wholesaling require a license in October 2025?
No. That is a widely repeated error, and we checked the bill record again on August 28, 2026. Multiple 2025 and 2026 articles claim that North Carolina "requires a broker's license for residential wholesaling effective October 1, 2025." House Bill 797, "Residential Property Wholesaling Protection", is not law. It passed the House 103-0 on April 30, 2025, was referred to the Senate Rules and Operations Committee on May 1, 2025, and has sat there since, with no ratification and no session law number. As drafted it would fold residential wholesaling into the broker-license definition, give homeowners a 30-day cancellation right, and make violations unfair-and-deceptive-practices offences, applying to contracts entered on or after October 1, 2025 if it is ever enacted. A 103-0 House vote tells you the direction of travel is real. Treat wholesaling here as legal but under active legislative scrutiny, and check the bill status yourself before you build a business on it.
Who handles both legs of a North Carolina double closing?
An attorney has to be responsible for the residential closings, so plan the mechanics around that. Authorized Practice Advisory Opinion 2002-1 reads North Carolina's unauthorized-practice statutes as prohibiting a non-attorney from handling a residential real estate closing. A non-lawyer may present and identify documents, direct where to sign, and receive and disburse closing funds, and the attorney need not be physically present, but the title opinion, the legal status of title, how title is taken, and the documents are the attorney's work. Funds move through a closing attorney's trust account rather than a title company escrow desk. On whether North Carolina attorneys treat back-to-back closings or separately funded legs as routine, we found no statute, Real Estate Commission rule, or title-industry source, so we will not state a market norm. Ask your closing attorney how they want the two legs structured before you contract.
Does a double closing get taxed twice in North Carolina?
Each conveyance carries its own excise tax, and it is small. NCGS 105-228.30 charges one dollar per $500 of consideration or fractional part, which is 0.2%, and the statute puts it on the transferor, payable to the register of deeds before recording. On an A-to-B leg at $200,000 that is $400 (200,000 divided by 500 = 400, times $1), and on a B-to-C at $240,000 it is $480 (240,000 divided by 500 = 480, times $1). You are the transferor on the second one. Recording is flat under NCGS 161-10, $26 for the first 15 pages of a deed plus $4 a page after. There is no mortgage or intangibles tax on the note. The one place the arithmetic changes is seven far-northeastern coastal counties, Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Pasquotank, Perquimans, and Washington, which add $1 per $100, five times the state rate. Piedmont deals in Charlotte or Greensboro pay the 0.2% only.
Where does the distressed inventory come from in North Carolina?
From a clerk-supervised pipeline you can watch, and from sales that stay open after the auction. Before a power of sale runs, NCGS 45-21.16 requires a hearing before the clerk of superior court on at least 10 days' notice, and NCGS 45-21.17 requires the notice of sale posted at the courthouse 20 days ahead and published in a county newspaper weekly for two successive weeks. Then NCGS 45-21.27 lets anyone file an upset bid within 10 days of the report of sale, raising it by the greater of 5% or $750, with each new bid restarting the clock. So a North Carolina auction result is provisional, which cuts both ways for a wholesaler: the property you thought you had can be taken, and the one you missed can come back. Practice sources put filing to sale at roughly 60 to 90 days.
Do you check my credit for North Carolina transactional funding?
No. There is no credit check and no appraisal on this program. We are funding the A-to-B leg for days, not weeks, against a signed B-to-C contract, so the file is about the two contracts and the closing, not about you. Pricing is a flat fee rather than a rate. We fund up to 100% of the A-to-B purchase. Business-purpose only. Subject to underwriting.
How much of the A-to-B purchase do you cover in North Carolina?
Up to 100% of it. On a $200,000 A-to-B leg that is up to $200,000 from us (200,000 x 100% = 200,000), repaid out of the B-to-C closing the same day or within days. What you still bring is the closing attorney's fee, the recording fees, and the 0.2% excise tax on the leg where you are the transferor. The B-to-C contract has to be real and signed. Subject to underwriting.

About the local figures on this page
Local rules move. Every tax rate, fee, ordinance and market figure here comes from a primary source and carries the date we read it, and we correct them as the rules change. Where a number is mid-change or we could not verify it, we say so rather than guess. Before you commit a budget, confirm anything that drives it with the city or county, and talk to your attorney or CPA on questions of law or tax.
