I'm baffled why people expect 12% and no defaults. In a market where banks with vastly more experience in running loans than new p2p companies can only pay out 1% to savers, all I expect is 6-7%, with the difference being a combination of leaner p2p organisations and compensation for higher risk. But that risk means I expect defaults every few months with a 100 loan portfolio.
5% reduction in returns equates to 1 loan in 10 going bad, with 50% recovery given its property backed, so a good month is one without a default. FC disappointed me with worse performance than that, and loans to companies who's assets evaporated. LL has surprised me with no losses in my first year here.

I'm baffled by people taking on anything <12% as all these types of loans are risky.......none of my loans have defaulted yet........providing you don't keep loans too long you can reduce your risk
