Even in the boom years nonprime mortgage business has failed to take off. This is probably a sad instance for such business. As long as everybody agreed to risky borrowers it clicked and everybody made money but now this is not the case. It is being said that the home loan industry buckled under pressure with a lot of attention was being paid to credit scores of borrowers and very less importance was being paid to the size of down payments, value of property and borrowers debt to income ratios.
Anthony Sanders, Professor of finance, Ohio State University stated:
Bringing back 20 percent down payments would ‘cure all these defaults’. Anything that teases someone into getting into a house on the cheap is inherently dangerous.
With regards to putting the blame on the debacle of nonprime mortgage the market looks really crowded on moral high ground. It is being said that if down payments are brought down by twenty percent and this can help in taking care of all the defaults.
