What Borrowers Look for in a Private Lending Partner
Fri Jan 16 2026
In this episode of Deeds in the Desert, Ignite Funding’s underwriting team breaks down what truly matters to borrowers seeking private capital: certainty to close, speed, responsiveness, transparency, and real value beyond just money. We also dive deep into how private lenders evaluate deals, why some borrowers get funded repeatedly, and why others never make it past the first call.
You’ll learn:
Why certainty to close is often more important than rate
How responsiveness and communication can make or break a deal
What underwriters really look for in new vs. repeat borrowers
Why Ignite Funding views itself as “expensive debt but cheap equity”
How strong borrower–lender relationships protect both investors and developers
Whether you’re a borrower looking for capital or an investor seeking fixed-income opportunities, this episode provides a behind-the-scenes look at how private lending really works.
