When I signed up originally, they listed a requirement that you have a total net worth of $70k I believe before being eligible to loan. They don't have a system to verify that you have this kind of money and I don't know the implications of signing up if you don't "qualify" but it was somewhere in the TOS agreement. Also you are not "allowed" to have more than 10% of your net worth in loans.

This minimum net worth value is why I went with Prosper...they had no such requirement (that I could find, and I didn't want to lie to LC). I'm just tinkering with a few dollars ($125, haha), but so far all my payment terms have been met a couple of months into it. I'll slowly keep adding $25 here and there to build a bit of a 'portfolio'.

Personally, I think this system is a great idea. I would not put my entire retirement account into it, but it provides a nice market for somebody who can honestly find a better alternative to revolving credit card debt.

Why does LC have a $70,000 annual gross income requirement in states other than California and Kentucky? Is this something that they really even look into? This is something I'm interested in, but I wouldn't meet that requirement.
Can't answer that but it may be worth looking into prosper if that's a limiting constraint. I chose to after not meeting their net worth value.
