Prosper now open to Florida Lenders

09/14/09 posted by Prosper Blog    

Prosper is pleased to inform our Lenders in Florida that we have received state clearances and are now effective for business. We already have hundreds of lenders and borrowers participating in the first auction based peer-to-peer loans platform and welcome our members in Florida back to our community.

Prosper is in the process of working with every state to allow lending; however each state has their own process and ultimately Prosper does not control the timeline involved to get approval. Rest assured that this is a priority for us and we will let you know as lending opens up in new states.

Prosper offers three easy ways to invest in individual Americans – in a plan, one-at-a-time, or existing Notes – the choice is yours. Portfolio Plans place bids automatically, saving you time. You can choose a ready-made plan that meets your goals and earns great returns. The estimated returns on our portfolio plans range from 6.9% to 13.2%. These are healthy returns that confirm peer-to-peer lending is a viable alternative asset class in which to invest.

To read more about the changes we have made to ensure we deliver the world’s most transparent and durable personal loans trading platform read here.

Be sure to follow us on Twitter, become a fan on Facebook, and check back here on the Prosper Blog to join in the discussions about peer-to-peer lending.

Welcome back and happy investing!

HOORAY! It’s the one year anniversary of my being completely shut out of Prosper.com! Thanks Prosper for making the system more flexible and profitable for half of it’s loyal users!

Great to see more states are coming online. I still have funds outstanding waiting for my state to open up again.

Ohio’s next, right?

Is there any info on the progress of lending availability in the state of Texas? Have been a member for a while now and very interested in becoming a lender, but TX residents are not at this time eligible.

Good job! However, I cannot list any of my loans for sale on https://www.prosper.com/invest/trade/secure/sell/

I have 45, but it says “No notes matched your search criteria”

I can bid however and the balance is showing up properly.

Hi,
I understand that as a Texas resident I was able to loan on Prosper in the past, but now I cannot. Fine. But why on earth would you not put that information -prominently- on the page when I click “invest”. Instead I have to try to start a portfolio plan.. oh, cannot do that in my state. I guess I have to invest in individual loans. Hey look this is working… I can search through all of the loans… lets spend some time setting filters… ok lets invest in this one. Oh wait, I cannot invest here either. Thank you for stealing 15 minutes of my life… dammit dammit dammit. Please fix yourselves. It would also be nice to get an email when I -can- invest. Because if I want to invest then you are just wasting my time until that is true. Please have some respect for my time. If I come back to this site sometime in the future and find that you are still not respecting my time I will -never- return.

-FT

The Results From the Legal Collections Test

By Doug Fuller on 11/3/09   [ ]

Before discussing the results of the test, let’s review what we were testing. In November 2007, 74 loans that would have been included in the December Debt Sale were selected for a test of applying a legal collections strategy. These loans had an outstanding principal balance of approximately $705,000. They were placed at Hunt & Henriques, a prominent [...]

Collections – Hardship Arrangement are Benefiting Lenders

By Doug Fuller on 11/2/09   [ ]

One of the key challenges in collecting on unsecured installment loans is providing the borrower an incentive to continue to making payments when they come under financial distress. If you don’t make a payment  on a credit card you can’t keep charging on it. In the case of a house or a vehicle loan, the lender [...]
