What you're being offered

A 10% rate with exposure to a diversified pool of real estate loans.

Select Ignite Funding investors may be eligible to purchase their first Note with a fixed annual interest rate of 10%. Interest is scheduled to be paid monthly, with principal due 12 months after issuance. Once the principal has been repaid to your Connect Invest wallet, you may withdraw the available funds or use them for another eligible investment.

Real estate lending experience

Connect Invest is affiliated with Ignite Funding and draws on the organization's experience in originating and evaluating private real estate loans.

A portfolio approach

Instead of selecting one individual property loan, you buy a Note from an issuer that will acquire a portfolio of real-estate loans selected and managed on the investors' behalf.

A stated 12-month maturity

The Note’s maturity is set at 12 months after issuance rather than being tied directly to one select project’s construction schedule.

Same team, new platform

Connect Invest and Ignite Funding are operated by I‑Management Group and work with real estate loans.

Who is Connect Invest?

An unfamiliar name. A very familiar team.

Ignite Funding has successfully funded more than $3 billion in real estate loans since 2011. Connect Invest represents the next evolution of that experience, carrying forward the same disciplined underwriting while introducing an investment structure designed to address many of the limitations of traditional mortgage investing.

The strength of the lending process hasn’t changed.

What has changed is how investors participate, through a structure that provides greater diversification, enhanced liquidity and a more efficient legal framework between investors, the issuer, borrowers and the underlying loan collateral.

Connect Invest isn’t a departure from Ignite Funding. It’s the next generation of the same proven investment philosophy, built to deliver a better investor experience.

Ignite Funding vs. Connect Invest

A new way to participate in real-estate lending.

Connect Invest isn’t about replacing what has worked. It’s about offering a more streamlined way to invest, providing diversified exposure to real estate loans through a single investment rather than requiring investors to select each opportunity individually.

Common questions

Answers before the call.

Why am I being offered 10%?+

The Series CI4 Note carries a fixed annual interest rate of 10.00%. This campaign is being introduced to selected Ignite Funding investors. Availability is subject to investor eligibility, subscription acceptance, the offering terms, and remaining allocation.

Do I have to move my existing Ignite trust deeds?+

No. Your current Ignite investments remain governed by their existing documents. This offer gives eligible investors the option to open a separate Connect Invest account and purchase a different type of investment.

What backs a Connect Invest note?+

The Series CI4 Note is an unsecured obligation of Connect Invest IIII, LLC, which uses offering proceeds to fund or acquire real estate loans secured by real property. Noteholders have no direct lien on those properties or recourse against the borrowers, but do hold a first position to the assets of CI4.

What happens after 12 months?+

Interest is paid monthly, and principal is due at maturity. Once payments have been credited to your wallet, available funds may be withdrawn or used for another eligible investment. The issuer may also prepay the Note before maturity as permitted under the offering documents.

Is my principal guaranteed?+

No. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of some or all of your principal. The Note is not insured or guaranteed by a government agency or third party.

Can I sell or redeem my Note early?+

You should be prepared to hold your note until maturity, but there are options for liquidity.

Who may invest?+

Purchases are subject to the eligibility and investment-limit requirements described in the current Offering Circular, as well as account verification and acceptance of the subscription.

Is this the same team as Ignite Funding?+

Connect Invest and Ignite Funding operate within the same affiliated group and are managed by I-Management Group. Ignite is expected to originate and service real-estate loans for the issuer. Connect Invest IIII, LLC is a separate legal entity and the issuer of the Series CI4 Notes.
