Carrie Cook ( Ignite Funding ’ s President ) and I visit each property on average once every four months . In a given year , we can service up to 100 projects , visiting each of those about four times ( depends on the length of the loan ) averages out to about 350 total site visits per year . At each site we are looking to make sure that the money is being used to enhance the value of the property , whether it ’ s for horizontal development , vertical construction , or both . We recently started sharing some of our videos * of these site visits with investors so they can see their funds in action and the value of their collateral increasing over time .
