Yes, the 1B was exclusively from personal loans. I see no reason they couldn't expand the LPB to home and student loans. The home loans are slightly different, they primarily originate conforming loans, which they can immediately sell to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. I'd love for them to do this with student loans though.
Excellent analysis of this new offering from SOFI! It can be confusing keeping track of all their irons in the fire. Especially since some are based on different business models. I do wonder how they will manage all these emerging business lines as each scales up to meet demand. I see the advantages, as you point out, on the pull through effect across offerings.

Article request: five year eps projection. Pretty please.
I think the point about growing the amount of potential members above 17 million is completely missed by analysts and is huge.
