Stack Funding (Morby Method) in Columbus, GA
Stack funding — built on the Morby Method — supplies the cash a Columbus, Georgia 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 fund. 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 Columbus’s neighborhoods — Midtown, the historic mill village of Bibb City, and East Columbus — where Fort Moore moves regularly create equity-rich sellers who prefer payments over a full cash payout. Capacity runs up to $10 million per transaction.
How Stack funding closes in Columbus
Georgia is a wet-funding state but an attorney-closing state: a licensed Georgia attorney must conduct the closing and record the seller-carry second-position note — a title company alone cannot. 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 attorney closes the deal, records the note in second position, and that note repays our funds plus 2.5% — typically same-day through the attorney’s trust account. Standard turnaround is about 48 hours from a complete file. Confirm in writing that the attorney will record the note exactly as agreed.

A typical Columbus Stack scenario
A service member with PCS orders owns a Midtown home with solid equity and agrees to a subject-to/seller-carry deal: a $200,000 price with the seller carrying back a note that covers the $30,000 the buyer would otherwise bring as a down payment, but the closing needs that cash present to fund. We wire $30,000 on closing day; the Georgia attorney closes the deal, records the second note, and it repays us $30,000 plus a $750 fee (2.5%) — typically same-day. The seller relocates with monthly income in place, the buyer needed little cash, and you keep the spread.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who records the second note on a Columbus, GA Stack deal? +
The licensed Georgia closing attorney handling your Columbus closing records the seller-carry second-position note. Georgia is an attorney-closing state, so a title company alone cannot conduct the closing or record the instrument — the attorney does both. 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 the attorney's trust account. Confirm in writing that the attorney will record the note exactly as agreed before scheduling.
Why is seller financing common on Columbus, GA deals? +
Fort Moore PCS orders regularly produce sellers who need to leave on a short timeline and would rather carry a note for steady income than wait for a full cash buyer — particularly owners with equity who don't want a large taxable lump sum mid-move. That makes subject-to and owner-finance deals a natural fit around Columbus. Stack supplies the cash the closing still needs. If there's a large assignment fee instead, Echo is usually the better tool.
How is Stack different from a double close in Columbus, GA? +
A double close has us fund the full A-B purchase, repaid from the end buyer's proceeds at the same closing. 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 must be conducted by a licensed Georgia attorney, but Stack hinges on the seller-financing terms and the attorney being ready to record the second note immediately after closing.
