New LC Filter for Monthly Income

[WES]

Anybody else having trouble getting this filter to work? It's returning invalid results for me, despite logging in and out several times today.

I used it yesterday, worked OK.

I'm still new and feeling my way around here as I fine tune my strategies..

But loans like the 2 listed below really boggle my mind. I just don't understand how someone can need to take out a loan for 6k who earns 20k a month. Maybe this is why it's only 27% funded...but I'm sure it will get funded eventually (as they all do). Personally, this screams of fishiness. Just trying to get away from the numbers that everyone can crank through and to some questions regarding the people behind these things.  Or perhaps they are lying about income.

Anyways, slow day on the boards so I thought I'd see what everyone thought.  When running stats on NSR of anyone in a B loan making over 200k you get a ROI of 7.5% (avg age 14 months), with rates of 11.74%, so I'm guessing these guys at current rates of under 10% aren't going to pan out. Sub 7%, right?

Just trying to get an idea of which loans to stay away from (and I can't believe they all get funded). 'Guess it just goes to show that it's not as easy as simply running filters.

In this asset class, you have to keep the macro in mind.  2 bad applies in a barrel of 2,000 will hardly move the needle but it will take a lot of work to find them.

If the source of their gross income is from self-employment, then expenses could even give them a negative net at the end of the month.  We can't sort this out through the Q & A nonexistent process, nor when the borrower doesn't volunteer any clarification.  When the job title is vague or ambiguous and the numbers don't make sense, I pass.

Yea, I think there is a benefit to be had.  But the bigger your account, the less likely it is you can use it
