Double Close Funding in California
Double close funding lets a California wholesaler close the A-to-B purchase from the seller and the B-to-C resale to the end buyer the same day, using our capital for the middle leg so your own cash is never exposed. We fund the buy, the end buyer’s proceeds repay us, you keep the spread. With the highest home values in the country, California double closes run larger than most states — typically $150,000 to $500,000 — and our capacity exceeds $100 million per transaction.
California is a massive, high-velocity market of nearly 39 million residents. Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose anchor the activity, with deep value-add and assignment opportunity across the major metros. Because price points are high, deal sizes — and the transactional funding behind them — are correspondingly large, which is exactly where double close funding earns its keep.
Swift Deal Funding is a direct lender, not a broker — no credit check, no income docs, no tax returns. Your executed contracts and a verified end buyer underwrite the deal.
How Double Close Funding closes in California
Two California-specific realities shape the timing. First, California is escrow-driven: closings run through a neutral escrow officer — an independent escrow company in much of Southern California, or a title company’s escrow division in Northern California — not a mandated attorney. For a double close you want one escrow holder running both the A-B and B-C files so a single officer controls disbursement order and recording.
Second, California is a dry-funding state. Funds disburse only after the deed records — not at the signing table. So a same-day A-B-C close depends on the county recorder confirming both deeds on closing day; the escrow officer holds our wired funds until recording confirms, then disburses and our funds repay from the B-C proceeds. In the LA and San Diego recorders this is routine high-volume work, but the sequence still hinges on the recorder’s daily cutoff. We wire by 9 AM Eastern. Note too that California’s licensing rules are strict — assigning is legal but you must disclose your equitable interest. Confirm the recording timing and your structure with your California escrow officer and a real estate attorney.

A typical California double close scenario
A wholesaler ties up a dated bungalow in San Diego’s City Heights at $560,000 (A-B) and resells it to a flip team at $625,000 (B-C). One San Diego escrow company runs both files and the end buyer’s proof of funds is verified. We wire $560,000 by 9 AM. Documents sign, the San Diego County recorder confirms both deeds the same day, the escrow officer disburses, and the $625,000 repays us. Our fee on the $560,000 funded leg is 1.25% ($7,000), so the wholesaler nets $58,000 of the $65,000 spread — same business day once recording confirms.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does California's dry-funding rule affect a same-day double close? +
California disburses funds only after the deed records — it's a dry-funding state — so the A-B and B-C legs both depend on the county recorder confirming on closing day. The escrow officer holds our wired funds and releases only on confirmation of recording. In high-volume counties like Los Angeles and San Diego this is routine, but the same-day sequence hinges on the recorder's cutoff rather than the signing table. Have your escrow officer confirm both deeds can record the same day before scheduling.
Who handles a double close in California — escrow or title? +
California is escrow-driven. In Southern California closings often run through an independent escrow company; in Northern California a title company's escrow division typically handles it. Either way a neutral escrow officer controls the funds and recording, not a mandated attorney. For a double close you want one escrow holder running both the A-B and B-C files so a single officer sequences disbursement and recording cleanly.
What funded amounts and licensing issues apply to California double closes? +
California has the highest home values in the country, so double closes here are larger — typically $150,000 to $500,000, with capacity past $100 million. The flat fee is 1.25% up to $1M and 1.0% from $1M to $10M. California also has strict real estate licensing rules; assigning is legal but you must disclose your equitable interest and avoid acting as an unlicensed agent. Confirm your structure with a California real estate attorney.
