Press Release Summary: eFunding announced a successful commercial real estate
transaction with self-directed IRA fund, its usage of electronic signatures and its
Chief Investment Advisor still being number one Commercial RE expert author in the
US.

Press Release Body: San Jose, Jan 8, 2007 -- eFunding, Inc. announced today
that its Chief Investment Advisor (CIA), David V. Tran had acquired a shopping
center with 2 other investors using his own self-directed IRA fund as down payment.
"It's straightforward to purchase a property without a loan using money from
self-directed IRA account," David said, "It's more difficult to obtain a new loan at
6.18% interest to purchase when the borrowing entity is a self-directed IRA
account." The CIA wanted to demonstrate he could assist self-directed IRA investors
to maximize leverage at a low interest rate by doing it first with his own
self-directed IRA money.



In addition, eFunding disclosed it has used the electronic signatures from both
Echosign and Docusign to make contracts execution more convenient and faster for its
clients. eFunding is among the early adopters if not the first adopter of electronic
signatures in Commercial Real Estate field. "Our clients love this technology
because they sign documents anywhere they have access to the internet." David said.
"The only down side is I sometimes have to spend time explaining to my colleagues,
bankers and even attorneys that documents signed with electronic signatures are
legal and binding."



eFunding also announced its CIA has received over 27,000 viewings for his 27
articles since February 10, 2007 on www.ezinearticles.com, www.goarticles.com and
