Echo Funding in California | Swift Deal Funding
Echo funding in California
Echo (Transactional Down Payment) funding in California provides the cash for an end buyer’s down payment at closing, with repayment coming directly from the seller’s proceeds — typically the wholesaler’s assignment fee. Typical funded amounts in this market range $20,000–$80,000, with capacity up to $10 million per transaction. Flat 2.5% fee, no upfront cost.
California’s market profile: Highest home values nationally mean larger deal sizes and higher transactional funding amounts. Strict licensing requirements apply.
Echo example deal in California
A simplified flow showing how Echo works for a typical California wholesale transaction:
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| End-buyer purchase price | $250,000 |
| Wholesaler assignment fee | $30,000 |
| Down payment funded by Echo | $20,000 |
| Echo fee (2.5%) | $500 |
| Repaid to us at close (from assignment fee) | $20,500 |
| Wholesaler net | $9,500 |
The end buyer brings less cash to the table; the wholesaler’s assignment fee covers our funding plus fee at the closing table.
