  • So the idea is its a cross between charity and gambling, who gets paid when is the gambling. It’s a feature.

    Also, I don’t think your math is taking into account the $200. You borrow $100 and pay back $200, the interest is baked into the repayment amount. It’s a gamble, the people paid in year 1 get hella interest. The people paid back in year 26 basically break even on inflation and people paid back in year 30 lose money.

    But I am fascinated to know what procedural hurdles one would face trying to set something like this up.



  • I did a quick skim of that website and it seems to be marketed towards the opposite side of the equation, the investors.

    My idea is more about the mortgage and using crowd sourcing in social circles. The way I have structured the “investment” in my scheme is purposefully done to reduce lender animosity by making the payout more of a gamble, than a traditional investment.

    I have been toying with ideas to even further tweak the model to increase investment. For example giving slightly better odds on repayment to investors that have used the platform/process to procure their own mortgage.
