Echo Funding in Texas | Swift Deal Funding
Echo Funding in Texas
Echo is transactional down payment funding: we put up the cash your end buyer needs for their down payment, and we are repaid from the seller’s proceeds at closing — usually out of your assignment fee. For Texas wholesalers, that means you can hold a deal together where the buyer is short on closing cash without converting it into a full double close.
Texas is the country’s largest wholesale market, and Echo deals here commonly fund $30,000 to $120,000 in down payment, with capacity up to $10 million per transaction. The fee is a flat 2.5%, with nothing upfront. We never pull credit, verify income, or ask for tax returns.
How Echo funding closes in Texas
Texas closes through title companies and is a wet-funding state, so the money is in escrow before disbursement and everything pays out per the settlement statement on closing day. Echo fits that flow as a single closing:
- We fund the end buyer’s down payment into escrow before closing.
- The deal closes as an assignment, with your assignment fee documented on the settlement statement.
- The title company disburses seller proceeds and repays our funded amount plus the flat 2.5% out of those proceeds.
- You net your assignment fee minus our repayment — all the same day.
The key requirement is that your assignment fee is large enough to cover the funded down payment plus our fee. We confirm that math before approval. Use a Texas title company comfortable with investor assignments and creative-finance disbursement.

A typical Texas Echo scenario
A Dallas wholesaler has a deal under contract and an end buyer who can cover most, but not all, of the cash to close. The buyer needs $20,000 for their down payment. The wholesaler’s assignment fee is $30,000. We fund the $20,000 down payment into escrow. At closing, the title company documents the $30,000 assignment fee, repays us $20,000 plus the 2.5% fee ($500), and the wholesaler nets $9,500 — without putting up a dollar of their own cash. The deal stays a single assignment closing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Echo different from a double close in Texas? +
Both let you close a deal without your own cash, but they get repaid differently. Echo funds your end buyer's down payment and we are repaid out of the seller's proceeds at closing — in practice, from your assignment fee — so the deal can stay a single assignment instead of two transactions. A double close runs two separate closings. In a Texas title-company closing, Echo is often simpler: one closing, one settlement statement, with our 2.5% fee netted against your fee.
Does my assignment fee need to be on the Texas settlement statement for Echo? +
Yes. Echo is repaid from the seller-side proceeds, which means your assignment fee has to be documented on the closing statement and be large enough to cover the funded down payment plus our 2.5%. Texas does not specifically regulate wholesale assignments, but the title company needs the assignment showing your fee so it can disburse our repayment. We confirm the fee covers the funded amount before approving.
Will a Texas title company disburse Echo repayment the same day? +
Generally yes. Texas is a wet-funding, title-company-closing state, so funds are in escrow before disbursement and the title company pays out per the settlement statement on closing day. As long as the title company is set up to disburse the seller proceeds with our Echo repayment included, we are repaid the same day. Use a title company experienced with investor and creative-finance deals — most in the major Texas metros are.
