In other words, the amounts are too small to start with.Furthermore, you risk losing your money, because of the fact that there is only a promissory note and no collateral at stake for these funds that you would be providing.Sorry, but in my view, this would be a recipe for disaster on your part.Initially, you mentioned peer-to-peer funding and frankly your model would do well in this arena, such as www.lendingclub.com as there would be a better chance of you recapturing your money although here again nothing is 100% guaranteed.Thanks for your thought provoking post.
