Peer to Peer loans … who knows about them?

Posted by admin

I am in the market for a personal line of credit not installment loan for my particular situation. But, while doing my research I found this new way (or not so new) of investing (lending) and borrowing money.

My question is if anyone out there has taken out a loan like this or lent any money through this. What were your experiences … good or bad. People who invested/lent money how was the return on your investment?

also … if anyone knows the best place to go for a personal line of credit for 25k – 30k for someone who was 750 fico.

thanks

I think that you will have trouble getting a loan that large. Most P2P lending is <10k. The reason it started was because many banks usually didn’t bother with smaller loans.

I think that most sites do not have a reliable way to verify a person’s credit, so it doesn’t matter if it is 750 or 500.

    Like other investments, there’s risk involved if you’re the lender. You get more interest than in the bank.

    I have never been involved in P2P lending. I found this site from another answerer on YA: http://www.moneyscrounger.com/investing/peer-to-peer-lending/
