Loan Closing: It's Not Always a Walk in the Park

Delays are a reality of the real estate industry, whether it is in getting the loan closed, the development or the construction phase.

Regardless, the same thing can happen in commercial lending, including Trust Deed investments at Ignite Funding. There are so many moving parts to close a loan between the borrower, the lender, and the Title company, that delays are just inevitable.

The Division requires the Special Power of Attorney to be signed by the investor with the verification of a notary public. The Division also requires this document to be executed by the investor for each loan an investor chooses to participate in.
