Upright’s risk mitigation begins with our relationship-based approach to finding the best developers within stable or growing markets. They specialize in rehabbing or constructing affordable homes that address the significant housing supply shortage caused by years of inadequate development. After vetting these developers’ creditworthiness and the project’s feasibility and profitability, originate just 6% of applications received, record a first lien against each property, secure a personal guaranty, and carefully monitor and manage project progression in-house.
 

Once originated, begin raising capital and invest alongside our investors to further align our incentives. Upright further mitigates risk through our regional Territory Managers who visit job sites, dedicated Account Managers who maintain personal relationships with each borrower, an experienced Construction Risk team that evaluates independent, third-party inspections verifying project progression and approve draws on the loans to repay for work already completed, and finally, Collections and Asset Management teams to manage payment or progression issues. All of this is fed to their Investor Relations team who communicate with our investors with best-in-class transparency through our Platform.
