Peer to Peer Lending Automation - The Key to Investing in Lending Club
If only it were this easy…

Q & A with BlueVestment - FREE Automated Investing Tool for LendingClub
BlueVestment is a third party tool for automation with LendingClub. Recently, they have made their product completely free for investors. Not only does the tool allow you to select your own custom filters, but it also ties into P2P-Picks for loan picking - a feature that I’m currently using.

Nathan from BlueVestment was nice enough to participate in our third part in a series of posts about third party tools. If you have any questions for Nathan, please feel free to post in the comments.

Automated Investing with LendingRobot
This is our first video featuring LendingRobot, which is an automated tool for investing in Lending Club.
