# Fast Closings, a 4-Day Close Case Study

 June 04, 2025 |

 By [Upright](https://learn.upright.us/real-estate-investing-blog/author/upright)

At Upright, we don’t just fund loans. We own the capital, manage the risk, and make the calls.

That may sound technical, but it’s the foundation of everything our borrowers experience — fast closings, flexible structures, smarter tools, and terms that actually reflect what real estate investors need in a competitive market.

Here’s how that plays out in the real world:

Case Study: Indiana Cosmetic Flip, Closed in 4 Days

 

On May 19, a customer in Indiana went under contract on a cosmetic rehab project. But his preparation started long before that — he had already used our mobile inspection link to upload photos during his initial walkthrough of the home the week prior.

 

Because we had that early intel — and because he moved fast — we did too. 

 

To make all the possible, the borrower was prepared by:

- Getting preapproved through us prior to hitting the market
- Executing our term sheet the moment he was under contract
- Uploading all diligence docs via our secure portal
- Immediately putting us in touch with the title and insurance companies
- And closing by May 23, just four business days later

# Loan Terms

As a returning borrower, he qualified for a reduced origination fee of 1.5%. But to maximize his upfront liquidity, he chose to defer the fee to payoff — which adjusted the origination to 2.25%. This gave him more breathing room at close, with no origination paid upfront.

Here’s how the full structure came together:

- 90% Loan-to-Cost (LTC) — structuring the loan to reimburse 100% of his rehab costs 
- Interest-rate in the low 10s
- 2.25% origination fee, fully deferred to payoff
- 4-day close — thanks to his fast action and our capital agility
- Post-close setup: 
    - Enrolled in Autopay (ACH) for easy monthly payments
    - Access to our self-service portal to request draws
    - Each draw request triggers a geofenced inspection link — quick, borrower-completed, no waiting or scheduling 3rd party inspectors
    - And a seamless transition to a rental loan if he decides to hold the property

 

How This Is Possible: We Control the Capital

 

We’re not waiting on capital partners, fund admins, or committee approvals. We move fast because we own the capital stack and make decisions in-house.

But it’s not just speed. Control of capital gives us strategic agility. It allows us to:

- Pivot based on borrower feedback and competitive shifts. 
- Say yes to smart innovations like: 
    - Geofenced inspections provided by borrowers
    - Draw requests tied to location + image verification
    - Deferred origination fees and interest payments to boost front-end cash flow
- **Test new ideas** with real investors, and roll them out in days — not quarters

We believe the best way to win the best business is to listen. And when our borrowers tell us what they need — whether it's faster draw access, more flexible term options, or upfront breathing room — we can make those changes at our speed.

 

We Read the Market — and Act

Controlling capital also lets us read the tea leaves of what’s happening in the market — and adjust instantly. When competitors shift pricing, we respond. When borrowers face bottlenecks, we unblock them. When the strategy changes, we don’t wait — we move.

When you're trying to win a deal in a competitive market, speed matters. But so does partnership, and **partnership starts with control.**

**We built Upright to give you both.**
