Table-Funding 101: White-Labeling for TPOs

Share the Post:
The ability to say “yes” to borrowers is what separates successful–and profitable–mortgage brokerage firms from others. Over the years, consumer mortgages have gained greater governmental and institutional oversight, stricter guidelines, and heftier requirements. This has made it increasingly difficult for borrowers–especially real estate investors–to get loan approval.

By contrast, the private lending industry for real estate investor loans has fewer regulations, with most states not requiring a license to lend to real estate investors, and there is more flexibility throughout the loan approval process. This creates more avenues for lenders to say “yes.”

Fortunately, with the right table funding capital partner, private lenders, brokers, and third party originators gain the tools and structure to provide accessible funding options to real estate investors and scale their businesses exponentially.

The Old World of Real Estate Investor Lending

The real estate investor loan industry was once dominated by entrepreneurs raising lending capital in informal, non-institutional ways, such as approaching friends and family or personal and religious networks. These processes were unstructured and high-risk for investors and borrowers alike. The private lending market’s practices that entailed little, if any, checks and balances gained a negative reputation, coining unsavory nicknames such as “hard money” and “wholesale” lending.

That was until 2014, when institutional capital providers, like Roc Capital, entered the market. Realizing the private lending sector’s tremendous potential, Roc Capital brought structure, discipline, and the benefits of institutional capital to the heavily unregulated market–in the form of table funding.

Table-Funding Meaning

White-label table funding, or wet funding,  is when one lender uses another lender’s capital to fund a loan at closing. Private brokers who fund real estate investment projects–like fix and flip homes–leverage table funding lenders and loans to access more capital and greater business opportunities.

Best of all, table-funding lenders remain anonymous throughout the loan process. In most cases, the private lender acts as a third-party originator (TPO), underwriting and processing the loan but not funding it. At the closing table, the table-funding lender wires the funds into an escrow for the borrower while remaining anonymous.

Real estate investors love table-funding loans because funds are available once the loan documents are signed, giving them quicker access to and certainty of funding. This differs from dry funding, which doesn’t disperse funds until well after the loan documents are signed and re-reviewed–creating longer delays and the chances of last-minute “funding conditions.”

While pretty much anything East of the Rockies has realized the structural enhancements to the private lending market and is now a table-funding state, certain states like Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington are yet to allow white-label funding.

Roc Capital’s White-Lable Table-Funding Example

Table funding lender programs, like Roc Capital’s White Label Table Funding, are designed to let private lenders focus simply on lending. Roc Capital’s team of professionals handles the loan underwriting process and, if approved, handles the funding. Best of all, Roc Capital operates entirely behind the scenes, enabling our clients to maintain and build professional and authoritative relationships with borrowers.

Here’s how Roc Capital’s White Label Table Funding program works:

  1. The borrower (real estate investor) applies for a loan for an investment property with a private lender (TPO). The TPO represents itself as the capital lender to the borrower.

  2. The TPO “brings the loan” (i.e., identifies the investment property and borrower) to the table-funding lender (Roc Capital).

  3. Behind the scenes, Roc Capital does the loan underwriting, including overseeing and drafting all loan documents. If the deal meets the lending standards, Roc Capital funds the loan.

  4. Roc Capital wires the money directly to the borrower at the “closing table.” Hence the name table-funding! The TPO is not required to contribute any money toward the closing on the property.
