Stack Funding in Akron, OH
Stack funding — built on the Morby Method — supplies the cash an Akron closing needs at the table when a seller carry-back note covers the buyer’s down payment but the closing still requires real funds to complete. The recorded seller-carry note then repays our funds plus a flat 2.5%, often same-day. It’s the right tool for creative-finance and subject-to deals across Akron, where long-tenured owners of low-priced, often paid-off homes — older West Akron streets, inherited Rubber City properties in Goodyear Heights — frequently prefer steady payments over a modest cash payout. Capacity runs up to $10 million per transaction.
How Stack funding closes in Akron
Ohio is a wet-funding, title-company closing state — the title and escrow office conducts the closing and records the seller-carry second-position note, with no attorney required. The seller agrees to a carry-back covering the down payment and costs. On closing day we wire the cash needed at the table; the title company closes the deal, records the note in second position, and that note repays our funds plus 2.5% — typically same-day through escrow. Standard turnaround is about 48 hours from a complete file. Confirm in writing that the title office will record the note as agreed.

A typical Akron Stack scenario
A long-time owner of a paid-off $115,000 West Akron home agrees to a subject-to/seller-carry deal. The carry-back covers the $20,000 the buyer would otherwise bring as a down payment, but the closing needs that cash present to fund. We wire $20,000 on closing day; the Summit County title company closes the deal, records the second note, and it repays us $20,000 plus a $500 fee (2.5%) — typically same-day. The seller collects payments, the buyer needed little cash, and you keep the spread.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who records the second note on an Akron Stack deal? +
Your Summit County title and escrow company records the seller-carry second-position note. Ohio is a title-company closing state, so the title office both conducts the closing and records the instrument — no attorney required. We provide the cash needed at the table on closing day, and the recorded second note repays our funds plus a flat 2.5%, often same-day through escrow. Confirm in writing that the title office will record the note in second position exactly as agreed before you schedule the closing.
What Akron deals fit Stack funding? +
Stack fits creative-finance structures where a motivated seller carries back a note covering the buyer's down payment, but the closing still needs real funds at the table. In Akron that comes up with long-time owners of paid-off homes — older West Akron streets, inherited Rubber City properties — who'd rather collect payments than take a full cash-out on a low-priced sale. If there's a large assignment fee instead of seller financing, Echo is usually the better tool. We never pull credit, income, or tax records.
How is Stack different from a double close in Akron? +
A double close has us fund the full A-to-B purchase, repaid from the end buyer's proceeds at the same closing — useful for protecting a wide percentage spread on a distressed Akron flip. Stack is for seller-financed deals: the carry-back covers the down payment, we supply only the cash the closing needs, and a recorded second-position note repays us afterward. Both close at a Summit County title company under Ohio wet-funding rules, but Stack hinges on the seller-financing terms and the title office recording the note immediately after closing.
