Be sure to check on Nickel Steamroller to see how any changes might affect your returns. Backtesting isn’t a guarantee, but it can give you a better idea of what kind of returns you might be able to achieve.

The main problem is that I don’t like to check on my investments all the time, especially LC. Sometimes I might go 2 weeks without logging in. I think I’m going to allow for more loan purposes and maybe drop employment length by a year. I think I’ll try loan purposes first and see how that goes!

Thanks CI! It actually hasn’t been too bad since I keep very detailed tracking spreadsheets offline. I love tracking investments, especially my own, so it is more a time commitment to compiled the data into posts.

I’ll have to go back and double check your strategy, but at this point, the best results will come from logging in around the release times. Notes generally show up about 1-2 minutes after 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm Pacific time. Jump on and you’ll find ample selection (most of the time). Also finding a broad and simple filter helps as well. I’ll send you an email with my simple filter (what I’m actually using currently).

Thanks for stopping by and commenting CI!

August was definitely a busy month, and unfortunately things slowed down there after as I kicked into house buying mode and put some additional capital to work in my P2P lending accounts. You have definitely been active pretty lately, but that isn’t to say it is a bad thing. There is always a good deal out there, just a matter of finding the right one.

I’m glad you are enjoy the rapid fire updates. More to come as I try and get up to speed prior to the end of the year. Thanks for stopping by and reading!

Looks good. I imagine it must be a lot of work to go back and post all the missed months! I’m glad you’re back and taking the time to document everything.

I have been thinking about switching up my LC strategy as I’m having problems getting money invested (however the results have been great so far). I’m going to read all your LC posts to learn a thing or two.

W2R,

Nice month! Great dividend tally. You hit your highest monthly total so far, and now you’re on pace for just about $100 per month going forward. It’s onward and upward! Keep it it up.

Best wishes.
