Latest Success Story

An investor had a great deal…she was purchasing a home for $500K that she was immediately flipping the same day for $250K more. The problem? She did not have the money to float the initial purchase. EquityMax stepped in and offered same-day, transactional funding at a reasonable fee. This allowed the investor to double-close and walk away with a large sum of money she otherwise would not have been able to obtain without the loan.
