Prosper Lending Review by tomtolman :: NR6

This link is a bit of shameless self promotion. I've kept up Prosper Lending Review since writing an article about Prosper for OmniNerd back in June. This is a review of all the p2p lending happenings of 2007. In addition, here are our top lending tips from the blog:

How does Prosper compare to other investments?

Prosper: A hands-on education in risk management

Why would a borrower use Prosper instead of a bank?

Borrowing money to lend on Prosper: Wise or Foolish?

Most Prosper lenders do not diversify

Are all Prosper loans within a credit grade created equal?

An analysis of pre-payment risk on Prosper loans

Are non-homeowners a safer lending risk in a declining house market?

Credit Scores on Prosper - Part 1 of 2

When to bid on Prosper loans

If anyone is going to invest money in the p2p lending market I recommend reading as much as possible just like you would if you are going to invest in the stock market or anything else. This is a good place to start.
