Your profit is generated by the interest charged on that loan. Startup costs: You don't need to be Warren Buffet to get involved in the peer-to-peer lending market. In fact, some peer-to-peer success stories have started with as little as $25. Income potential: Inexperienced lenders can earn as little as 4% per year in interest on their loans. Which is still better than most banks. More experienced lenders report returns of 12% – 14% on their loans. But do your due diligence because every financial transaction involves an element of risk.
