Rather than drive the Operation: Blood in the Streets thread off-topic, I figured I'd start a new one on these topics.
Anyone done investments in peer-to-peer lending? I've started to dabble with it this past month. After doing the homework, I've put a little capital in said to see how it does. I'm at least mildly surprised at the rates people are paying. If it pans out, great, I'll move over more. If not, meh, dump and move on.
I'm also seeing reports of a crash in housing coming. I can't help but wonder if it isn't time to look into buying properties on the cheap and use them as rental properties. For a number of reasons I'm less keen on this one, but it is something to consider.
Anyone done either or both in recent memory? If the former, what platform did you use and how was your RIO? Other thoughts?
P.S. This one has been dubbed Operation: Raunchy Monocle, because Operation: Loan Shark sounded too negative and being silly is more fun. (giggle)
