EMD Funding in Ohio | Swift Deal Funding
How EMD funding works in Ohio
EMD funding in Ohio typically covers earnest money deposits between $5,000–$25,000 on residential and small commercial transactions. We send the deposit directly to the title company or closing attorney handling the deal — usually within 24 hours of complete application and title confirmation. The deposit must be refundable per the inspection or due-diligence terms of the contract.
Ohio’s real estate market profile (very high investor activity) shapes typical EMD scenarios. All major Ohio metros (Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati) are highly active wholesale markets with low entry prices. The state has roughly 11.8 million residents, with most investor activity concentrated in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati.
Pricing for EMD funding in Ohio
Two pricing options for every EMD, regardless of state:
| Option | Upfront | At Close | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 5% of EMD amount (min $500) | 20% of EMD amount | Wholesalers with high close-through rates |
| B | 10% of EMD amount (min $1,000) | 0% | Predictable per-deal cost (most popular) |
Example for Ohio: a typical $15,000 EMD under Option B costs $1,500 total — paid once, no fees at closing.
Document requirements
The same minimum documentation applies in Ohio as in every state:
- Fully executed purchase contract with refundable EMD language
- Title company / closing attorney contact information
- Written confirmation from title that the EMD is refundable per contract terms
- Borrower identification
No credit check, no income verification, no tax returns required.
Why investors in Ohio use EMD funding
EMD funding solves a specific timing problem: you want to lock up a property quickly, but you don’t want to commit your own cash before you have an end buyer or complete due diligence. Active wholesalers across Ohio use EMD funding to compete with cash buyers in hot markets without tying up working capital.
