If I put in $100 a month and reinvest I came up with a number of $36000 out of pocket, but my assets after 30 years would be over $600k without taking into account defaults and assuming a return rate of about 12%. Does this sound about right to you? I actually filled out a spreadsheet that spans 30 years and reinvesting everytime I have a chance to do so.

I've done really well with LC earning about 11% on my investment. I've invested about $400 and continually reinvest the principal and interest earned. I know exactly why I earned very little on those loans but was just making the point that it may not be a 3 year loan. Borrowers can and do pay off early, which I say, good for them. I will continue to find loans that are worth investing in. Keep the borrowers coming! My apologies if I wasn’t clear. I’ve done really well with LC earning about 11% on my investment.

All you have to do to keep things rolling is to reinvest in additional loans. Patrick: You didn’t make much off those loans, but you only loaned the money for a very short period of time.

I made very little of those loans but it was refreshing to be able to help someone who needed it and see that they paid it back quickly.
