I was wondering if anyone has tried peer to peer lending. The idea is someone needs the a loan, so they go to a website such as lending club and get the loan at a rate lower than the bank is offering. Then the company breaks the loan down into $25 shares for investors to buy a part of the loan and get a small part back plus 10-20% interest each time the borrower makes a payment.
I put $100 into it to give it a try. It seems like it's a better use of the my money than letting it sit in a savings account but I don't know, i'd like to see if anyone else has tried this yet. Any advice, success stories, horror stories?
