I currently have a -2.66% projected return over the full 3 year term of my loans made by lending through Prosper after about 15 months. Also, keep in mind that I am doing a LOT better than most people did."

Reply Cancel ReplyI have had a great experience on Prosper both as a borrower and lender. The idea of someone not paying you back always provides a little heartburn, but if you make enough loans at the appropriate rates you are well insulated from this risk."

Reply Cancel ReplyMy return on Prosper is now -7%.
I had FIVE loans on Prosper with AA-rated borrowers default on me, but some of my riskier loans are still paying. Unfortunately the AA loans were duds and I caught several borrowers outright lying on their applications.
Prosper does not verify anything."

Reply Cancel Replyfrom what I've seen, the people who are mad have only themselves to blame, as they invested in way too many high risk loans. you gotta spread your risk, otherwise you're going to end up like the banks with their subprime loans."

Reply Cancel ReplyI invested in average B+ better with my 29 loans made."
I agree with others that it doesn't matter the credit risk listed, I have a very high % of A and AA (between 60-80%) that defaulted on their loans and haven't paid back any of that. Further, the collection channels they've set up on Prosper are useless.

Reply Cancel ReplyThe risk of losing money is higher than investing on the stock market, since you can do nothing if someone just don't want to return your money."
