It was 1 interview, 30 world-class P2P lending experts and their 3 best tips to make your investment returns better than ever.
It was sheer EPICNESS(if that's not a real word, I'll claim it as mine
)
I never post here because so many of you are waaaaay over my head in P2P Lending knowledge. I'm a reader, A lurker, I have a talent of sniffing out B.S. know-nothings and ignoring them and identifying those who know their stuff and soaking it in so that I can go and take action on it.
That's the reason I decided to interview some of the leading experts in the world of peer-to-peer lending. And BOY did they deliver, including Graham Wellesley, Ian Gurney, Aaron Vermut of Prosper Marketplace and LendAcademy's very own Peter Renton.
Anyway.... To the point.
I'm Warren Lee, Editor-In-Chief of The Lending Mag.
My staff and I interviewed some of the most respected and recognized financial minds within the peer-to-peer finance community. Our experts include Presidents, CEOs and Chief Investment Officers of major peer lending companies and investment management firms. We also caught up with top CFAs, a handful of extremely knowledgeable thought leaders and creators of leading educational resources online regarding peer-to-peer lending and investments.
We wanted to hear the answer to a simple but powerful question:
“If you could only give a novice peer-to-peer lender 3 tips for successful investing, what 3 tips would you give?”
These experts gave me over 10,000 words of Top-Notch P2P lending advice to share with you. But here's an abbreviated tally of the top 5 answers:
Most Important P2P Lending Tips (as voted by 30 experts!)
#1 Diversify your loans/Spread your money over many loans – 16 votes
#2 Do your homework/research – 12 votes
#3 Invest in an IRA– 5 votes (this particular tip was strictly from the US experts & applies to US lending only)
#4 A. Reinvest your returns, don't let returns sit idle – tied with 4 votes
B. Use automation to invest/reinvest – tied with 4 votes
C. Make loans on various platforms – tied with 4 votes
#5 Prepare yourself for limited liquidity – 3 votes
Here is an alphabetized list of the experts The Lending Mag interviewed:
Aaron Vermut, Brendan Ross, Brian Bartaby, Charles Moldow, Christian Faes, Claus Lehmann,
Dara Albright, Don Davis, Emmanuel Marot, Giles Andrews, Graeme Marshall, Graham Wellesley, Gregg Schoenberg,
Ian Gurney, James M. Dahle, MD, Jason Fritton, Joe Udo, Joseph Hogue,
Marc Prosser, Miranda Marquit, Nick Clements, Peter Renton, Ryan Weeks, Sam Dogen(AKA Financial Samurai)
Sam Hodges, Sam Ridler, Steve McGarry, Stu Lustman, Tore C. Steen, Zack Miller
It was awesome, and the coolest part was that so many of these guys are so busy and so RICH(lol), but the VAST majority were super-cool and accommodating.
Heck, CEO of Zopa, Giles Andrews went back and forth with me for the longest time when my email service was screwing up, just to let me know when my messages were not acting all funky anymore and I got things fixed(long story). The man runs the first and biggest peer-to-peer lending site in the UK, I'm sure he had better things to do. Just good guys(and gals too).
And a special thanks to Peter Renton for including the interview in his weekly roundup! Truly an honor for The Lending Mag.
It was a great experience and it's a great info resource to help you increase your returns and compete against the banks for better loans. If you want to see the entire interview, you can see it here:
