Stack Funding in Charlotte, NC | Swift Deal Funding
Stack Funding (Morby Method) in Charlotte, NC
Stack funding provides the cash a deal needs at the closing table when a seller carry-back note covers the buyer’s down payment — but title still needs real money in escrow to close. We wire that cash; the recorded seller-carry second-position note repays us plus a flat 2.5% fee, often the same day through the closing attorney.
Charlotte’s creative-finance scene has grown alongside its banking economy, and the city’s deep stock of older west-side homes — Enderly Park, Wesley Heights, and the corridors west of Uptown — produces plenty of equity-rich, motivated sellers open to carrying paper instead of cashing out. Typical Charlotte Stack amounts run $40,000–$150,000, with capacity up to $10M.
How a Stack deal closes in Charlotte (NC attorney-must-close)
North Carolina is a wet-funding, attorney-closing state, so a licensed NC attorney supervises the closing, disburses from the trust account, and handles recording. For Stack, that attorney records the seller carry-back note in second position immediately after closing; the recorded note then repays our funds plus the 2.5% fee — typically same-day. We wire by 9 AM Eastern; standard turnaround is ~48 hours from a complete file. Confirm with your Charlotte closing attorney that they’ll record the second note exactly as structured.

A typical Charlotte Stack scenario
A retiring owner of an Enderly Park duplex agrees to a subject-to/owner-finance deal: a $310,000 price with the seller carrying back a note that covers your $50,000 down payment and costs. Title still needs that cash in escrow to close. Stack wires the ~$50,000 to the NC closing attorney; the closing executes, the attorney records the seller’s carry-back in second position, and that note repays our funds plus the 2.5% fee ($1,250) — typically same-day. You acquire the duplex without bringing the down payment out of pocket.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a North Carolina closing attorney record the second-position note for a Charlotte Stack deal? +
Yes — and in North Carolina they must, because a licensed NC attorney supervises the closing and recording. For Stack, the attorney records the seller carry-back note in second position right after closing, and that recorded note repays our funds plus our flat 2.5% fee. Confirm with your Charlotte closing attorney that they'll record the second note as agreed before we fund; we ask for that written confirmation up front.
When does Stack make more sense than Echo for a Charlotte deal? +
Use Stack when seller financing is part of the structure — a motivated Charlotte seller carrying back a note that covers the buyer's down payment. Use Echo when there's no carry-back and you're simply funding a down payment repaid from your assignment fee. Stack is common on subject-to and owner-finance deals around Charlotte's older west-side housing stock, where sellers with equity prefer payments over a full cash-out.
Do I need a special license for creative-finance Stack deals in Charlotte? +
No wholesaler or special license is required in North Carolina, but the closing must run through a licensed NC attorney who records the second note. We're a direct lender and underwrite the deal documents — the purchase contract with seller-financing terms and the carry-back amount — not your credit, income, or tax returns. The carry-back must be large enough to cover the down payment plus closing costs.
