Well another month down… Nothing major happened that would effect my IRR/ROI (like a debt sale.)  It was a fairly uneventful month for my Prosper p2p lending account, but it was a good month…  My ROI/IRR is higher on 4/5 of my tracking indices (it will be 5/6 when the statements are available and I update Quicken.) And my EricsCC ROI is within 4 basis points of last month’s value.

When going through my late loans this morning to build these statistics I noticed 2 things.  One it is now very easy to tell which loans are in bankruptcy vs which loans are in collections.  (3 of my 29 1+ late or worse loans are in bankruptcy.)  The second is a more positive development many (more than I have ever seen before) of my late loans have collections payment pending.  In fact, 1 of my 4+ month late loans has a collection payment pending, 3 out of 7 of my 2 month late loans have a payment, and 2 out of 3 of my 1 month late loans have a payment.  Maybe things are looking up in the collections area?  Time will tell.

Anyway, here is a chart of my updated IRR and ROI values…

My August 1st update had an IRR of 0.57% on......
