Banks started lending loans to people who were not so credit worthy. They were of the belief that the real estate prices in the states would never go down and hence they gave loans to people who cannot afford to buy such properties.
Once the real estate prices started coming down, people were not willing to repay their mortgages. Hence they surrendered their property and left. Banks were left with more houses than money.
This is one of the main reasons why the banks got affected... Example: Lehmann Brothers
I'm putting a link to the FDIC's list of failed banks. Lehman Brothers will not be on this list because it was a brokerage firm, not a bank.
