Four loans in default in 2025

Four loans in default in 2025. Started investing in 2022. They claim they underwrite these loans at 60 to 65% loan to value. When a default happens it sounds more like they were underwriting them at 80 to 95% with the payoff on liquidation being very dismal and not happening as of yet on any of these defaults still in limbo with $100,000 hanging in the wind.

Reply from Ignite Funding

We understand how frustrating it can be when a loan does not perform as expected. However, it’s important to remember that these investments are collateralized. Once the foreclosure process is complete, investors will take ownership of the property and can sell the asset to help recoup their principal.

We will continue to diligently pursue a resolution to all loans and keep you informed of the progress throughout the process.

multiple loans went bad

I have had multiple loans go into default with this company. Their communication is minimal and lacking in detail. When I call for more information, the person I speak too typically does not know anything but promises to have someone who does know call back. Cue laughter, guess how many times I have ever gotten a call back. Terrible company. Do you want to lose all of your hard earned money??
**Update Dec 28, 2025
Spoke with company representative before Ignite was set to meet on Dec 16 in a mediation with the control company's insurance company (trying to get SOME money back from this fiasco of an investment) . He said he would post an update after the meeting, but as of today still has not. Listen up, they will make promises, just don't expect them to keep them. Communication? HAHA. Transparency? ROFL. Invest with them at your own risk and trust me, it will be a HUGE risk.

Excellent Team

We have been investing with Ignite for couple of years now, specifically with Kate B. She has always been very responsive with our requests and questions. Thumbs up to the team.

A Great Company

I’m glad I chose to invest with Ignite Funding. They offer double-digit returns, a seamless process, transparency through their user-friendly website, quick turnaround and knowledgeable staff. From the moment I contacted Ignite Funding, Christian has provided exemplary customer service. He is very responsive, transparent, and professional. He is also very knowledgeable about the processes and has answered every question I presented to him in a timely and thorough manner.

Ignite is Fast, responsive and so-far > profitable !

I watched Ignite remotely for about 3-4 months before engaging. I've checked their record and while you have to be skeptical of most things on the internet, they've been in business 8+ years and seem to have a documented history of mostly successful loans. Kate has been my rep and I am currently invested in 3 independent deals. She is very responsive and informative with her answers. The company is VERY well organized in terms of processing the multiple documents that have to be e-signed with every transaction and seems to be totally legit in terms of legal compliance. The communication methods used by Ignite are always the same which benefits the investor because that consistency improves efficiency and understanding. I am still new to Ignite but am very pleased, to date, with the simplicity of the approach, the results and not just Kate, but the overall customer service team.
