Tips & Warnings

  • PLEASE RATE THIS ARTICLE AND/OR LEAVE COMMENTS!
  • P2P loans (also called Hard Loans) are not a guaranteed source of income. The amount of return you receive is proportional to the risk. Also known as "the greater the risk, the greater the reward." Therefore, if you invest in high risk loans, you might not regain your initial investment.
