Sampling issues are possible, it's a subset of a $200mm portfolio. Vintages are controlled for so age isn't a factor.
Also, I'm including lines which it seems like you don't have here.

Can you weigh in with an opinion on how correlated individual loans are? I strongly suspect that the true long term returns are a few points lower than what we're seeing just because the data LC and others release is a bit too young to really capture big macroeconomic effects that would cause a lot of defaults to develop. 2007 proved a lot of people wrong regarding portfolios of "uncorrelated" consumer loans. I don't think my fun money is likely to damage the world economy, but it's better to avoid repeating history.

I'm curious how you choose to manage taxes: do you pay them from the account balance (ie pausing reinvestment to build up cash) or just pay the tax bill out of your income elsewhere?

Are the borrowers making accelerated payments? I've had notes where the borrower rounds up their payment to the nearest hundred bucks and such.
