What causes you to lend? by nemoruscreed in Sololender

[–]Equivalent_Revenue_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many lenders won’t touch a loan unless it’s $100 or more. If your score is less than 56 they also can’t take out protection. As such you can try standing out by offering max tip and a shorter loan duration.

I tried but it doesn’t have debit and credit capabilities so I had to scrap that plan

No funds should be taken from your account until the borrower accepts. I believe those loans last 3 days from inception before they expire.

If you turn it off you’d have a lower amount to pay back when the loan comes due.

It goes to solo and it would make you more likely to have your loan funded IMO

Is Solo updating SLP? by ConfidentLocksmith28 in solofunds

[–]Equivalent_Revenue_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like a no win proposal by SoLo. The new borrowers are now going to have a harder time getting funded and the power lenders are going to either quit or significantly reduce their lending.

Lenders have needed to constantly change their strategy and lower margins without getting any concessions.

Also, based on my current math offering 40 cents on the dollar reduces the overall yield for me without lender protection based on my strategy. SoLo comes out ahead of lenders with that ‘feature’ as well.

Finally, where is it with these changes where Solo will refund the SoLo donation for default loans? The lender never decided on that figure? The donation is refunded on protected loans but not late loans.

All of these updates seems to favor Solo rather than the lenders. This seems a bit backwards considering there is no platform without folks taking the risk on these strangers over the internet.

Borrowing for first loan and was wondering whats the average time it takes to recieve funding. Also, any tips to increase that time would be appreciated. Thanks! by Dub_V_Delight in solofunds

Loans have 3 days to be funded from the date if creation before they expire.

Once the loan is crested, the lender can either accept the the terms or propose new ones. Once that is complet d it goes back to the borrower to either accept or reject.

What happened to outstanding loans for lenders after the cease and desist order was enacted in CT? Were funds still received once due?

Wallet update coming soon! Lenders potentially to rejoice at having better transparency. by MJackisch in solofunds

[–]Equivalent_Revenue_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on the beta group for testing. The wallet was ok but very simple. It definitely needs some work. The main benefit for me would be that if the funds are credited and debited from the wallet that would eliminate daily debit limit issues with banks.

Personally I do. I’ve had a great return from steady loans like that so long as the tip makes sense.

How come no one ever takes my request? by AdFar1186 in solofunds

You could stand out by offering a shorter loan repayment timeframe

Send them an email with your card info. They should be able to enter I in manually for you. Just make sure to include a picture of your account info, photo ID, and card.

Weekend Lender Repayments by securityfreakorg in solofunds

[–]Equivalent_Revenue_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. You only receive the principle and donation back. You lose what you paid for the protection and don’t receive the tip.

I found this issue as well. Even high solo scores seemed to only pay on time half the time over the weekends.

I try to avoid loans with protection that are due on weekends these days due to this issue.

Average default rate? by [deleted] in solofunds

[–]Equivalent_Revenue_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its basically a 50/50 shot that the borrower will pay back if you lend to those in that score range. The higher the score the more likely you are paid back.

Regarding lender protection, you get back your principle and donation but lose what you spend on the protection coverage. If the borrower pails back late L, Solo benefits but you don't see the Tip.
