on E*Trade or your Charles Schwab account, and look at these high-quality loan investments. So whether some- body invests in one loan or 100 loans, it’s as easy as buying stock. Investors can invest in this brand new way where they can diversify across loans very easily and reinvest interest payments into new loans. BRETT CROSBY Our goal is to make all of the technology disappear into the background and make the experience as easy as possible. You can even turn on automated investing, which is the “set it and forget it” model, where they can fund their account and then designate the parameters of the deals they’re looking for. We have a robust underwriting engine, which has a huge amount of data science, so we can see into each of the submarkets down to the ZIP code level and sometimes even more granular
than that. It allows us to stress-test the loans and look at forecasts. Also, we’re starting to push out a lot of our tech- nology that we’ve built onto our lending partners—and that has proven to be very powerful for them, so they can outperform in their local markets. What are smart investors doing to have the capital they need to invest in this space? BREW JOHNSON A lot of the equity investors are trying to find new access to capital because with volatility in the market and the traditional banking channels, a lot of people are anticipating that access to capital could be more difficult in the coming years. Local private lenders provide a really good service by lending in markets the banks don’t lend in, and also lending a lot more efficiently than banks, like closing loans much quicker. So we think
with us providing capital to these local lenders to be able to make more loans to real estate investors, it provides a lot of value in that market. As long as markets stay relatively healthy, we want to be able to find capital for lenders to make loans in their com- munities. We don’t actually make loans directly, but we’ll connect borrowers to one of our local lenders, who can make the loan, and then investors can invest their loans through PeerStreet.
