Lending Club Investing

Lending Club out performs most investments and at a risk less than traditional investments (not including CDs, Savings Accounts and Money Market). Diversification, however, is the key to maintaining low risk. Never invest large amounts in one loan, split it in $25 increments and you should be fine.

Yes lending is risky, but banks have been lending forever. If you qualify your risk properly you won’t have any problems. I'm currently looking at no defaults and net annualized return of 9.7%. Granted your results may vary, but why not play around with it for a while?
