I live in PA, so I’m stuck to FolioFN interface. To describe it quickly – It Sux! You definitely have to put in more time as their filters are pretty much non-existent. I usually filter only on ‘Current’ loans and then sort by Credit Score change. I usually invest in loans that have the credit score going up. Finally, I sort by percentage markup – I usually don’t go above 2% markup. One thing that saves my life is that you can check which loans you want to buy and then proceed on to the next page and when you are ready just hit ‘Buy’ and it will pull in all the loans.

There are a bunch of readers that have emailed me about this. Not sure you’ll get a good response on this post since it’s old, but if ask the same question on my quarterly update in February and hopefully you’ll get some good feedback.

I live in a state that doesn’t allow me to buy new notes, but instead can only trade notes via FolioFN. It doesn’t look like the filters are very robust there. Has anyone had any experience buying through this platform?

Correct me if I’m wrong but by adding “credit card” to your preset filter you lower your loss rate by .2% and open up a few more notes for purchase.

[...] Before you put any money into LendingClub, you should research the complex filtering tools and develop an investment strategy. Since I’m lazy, I copied the strategies of folks who have demonstrated success tweaking and scientifically re-checking their own returns. For example, here’s one from a blogger named Brave New Life.

Yep – it’s working for me. I’ve seen it down before, but it’s usually fixed quickly. I just double checked right now, and it seems to be working fine.

Is Lendstats.com working? It looks to me like not operational and at the bottom it shows Error: Out of memory… (some problem with handling php code).
