In this episode, Larry Fiero (Arctic Wolf Enterprises) sits down with Tom Causley to break down two funding tools that can unlock deals when speed and certainty matter: Earnest Money Lending and the Dual Close. If you’ve ever had a strong deal but got stuck at the starting line—because the seller wanted serious money upfront, your capital was tied up, or your end buyer timeline didn’t match your contract—this conversation is for you. Tom walks through how EML works, how dual closings are structured, and the rules you need to follow so you don’t turn a smart move into an expensive mistake. What you’ll learn in this episode: What Earnest Money Lending is (and when it makes sense) How lenders look at risk, timelines, and deal strength before funding EMD.

After learning about real estate investing from a client of his while he was a mountain guide he knew he had to find a way to get into the industry. After moving to MO, Tom decided it was time to figure out how to do that. Since he lives in a small rural town he decided to think outside the box and find a niche that would work better for the circumstances. That's when Capstone Capital Resource was born. Tom provides transactional funding for EMD, Double Close and Stack Method deals. Feel free to reach out to Tom and find out how he can help you grow and scale your business.
