I keep wanting to try it, but just don't know much about it how how to set it up. Do you know the minimum deposit?

I can't even recall there being one. I think I started off with $25 and just kept doing it every week.
They do have some investor "requirements" that you have income over 70,000 a year, but it isn't like they are going to come check.

Have you had any success?

I'm almost exactly half of where you are. I put in 500 and have about 24 notes at this time. Every time I get 25 paid back I buy another note. So far I'm averaging 11% but I've only been doing it for a little under a year. I've been super lucky with 0 late notes. I stay with mostly B's few C's and few A's. Threw in a D the other day for fun.

I started initially with $1,000, and a few months later put in another $1,000. I've done fairly well, right now the interest I've earned is about 7%, and that includes one charge off.
I've mostly stuck with A, B, and C loans, though I've begun to dabble in a couple D's. Interestingly enough I've already had 11 people pay off their entire loans, though that may be because I intentionally look for loans with lower borrowing amounts surmising the smaller bill is easier for folks to handle each month.

Shade under 7% return because one note is well over 30 days past due. Dude took out 30k and hasn't made a payment yet

I stick with 36 month loans, mostly B around 10%, stay away from medical loans, they will die and you will get zilch. Don't like cc payoff, just gives them that much more to charge up.

This thread made me go and check my account for the first time in a while. I only started about 6 months ago or so with $2500. Up 7% so far, with 1 overdue loan of ~$35 or so.

You guys are making me want to look at this more closely

It isn't bad.....it's not a lottery ticket, but if you do it prudently then you can probably earn at minimum 5-7%.
Better than what you can get at a bank though....

I also read and liked selecting loans for people that own their homes.

I follow a couple hard rules:
1. Only debt consolidation and credit refis
2. Only 36 month term
3. Only creditors who have a job with honest salary, I.e. I call bs on sandwich clerks with a $20,000 monthly salary

anyone have an update on this?
Posted on 8/22/16 at 1:59 pm to TJG210
I can't remember the exact rules I used, but I started back in May of this year with 100 loans at $25 each. My allocation was
44 C
50 D
6 E
5 have been fully paid and the rest are still current, so my estimated returns are quite high at 16.33%. All it takes are a few loans to be charged off to knock that down a good bit. I'm not sure if I'll continue to use the site, though. I'm not a huge fan of locking up my money for 3 years.
