Can you make passive income by investing in P2P lending?
P2P lending can provide passive income to lenders, as discussed below:
Regular interest income
P2P lenders can earn recurring interest on their loans. Borrowers’ interest payments generate money during the loan period. This income can be a source of passive cash flow, especially if investors have a diversified portfolio of loans.
However, the amount of interest earned depends on the loan amount, the interest rate and the borrower’s repayment behavior.
Passive portfolio management
P2P lending systems manage loan servicing, payment collection and lender distribution once lenders select and fund loans. Passive portfolio management lets them earn without actively managing loans.
The platform makes sure that lenders receive their fair share of interest payments and that borrower repayments are completed.
Automated investment
P2P lending platforms offer automated features and tools to simplify investing. Auto-invest options automatically distribute funds to new loans based on lenders’ predefined criteria, eliminating manual selection and investment decisions.
Reinvest repayments
As borrowers repay their loans, lenders can expand their total loan portfolio and raise interest income by continuously reinvesting the repayments. Reinvestment allows lenders to compound their earnings and potentially grow their passive income over time.
