Either from other banks or their own particular government. In the worst case they can borrow from other banks outside the governance of their local control.
It's a great merry-go-round of displaced irresponsibility.

Loan it out to people, because they'll make more money by lending than by saving.
They loan it out to others. Banks make more money through lending money than through storing it.
The Fed encourages banks to loan more money by:Reducing the Cash Reserve Ratio (Money that needs to be deposited with the fed by every bank) This way banks have more cash to lend and hence they loan it to customersReducing Interest Rates - By reducing interest rates, loans become cheaper thereby prompting customers to take new loans which encourages banks to lend more loans in order to gain new business
A lot of private loan companies will loan people money who have bad credit. Most national banks will not though. The only problem is that these private loan companies will charge much more than a bank would.
Money is CREATED by governments, not banks. They store money. Banks also EARN money by loaning money to people. People pay the banks back more money than they borrow (interest)

Because that is just how things have to be sometimes.

When the required reserve ratio is lowered, banks can loan out more money.
multiple banking is use of more than one bank while loan syndication is where several banks lend the money for one loan.
Banks make money by lending money to people and charging people for borrowing. The amount banks charge is called interest. Banks borrow money from other people and pay them interest on the amount borrowed. Banks charge more interest on the money they lend than they pay one the money they borrow. That is how they make money. When people deposit money with a bank, the bank is literally borrowing money from some people so they can lend it to other people. That is why banks pay interest.
The main reason why banks generally are not doing loan mods is because of money. Banks make more money by foreclosing on a property then by approving a loan mod . Also, banks have an obligation to their investors to get the most return on investments for their investors. A loan mod reduces the return on investment. Now if a bank sold the note and is offering a loan mod when they they are not the holder of the note in do course then they really have no authority to do so.
Interest is the money banks get in exchange for lending money. The more "safe" loans they make, the more money they make. This helps keep bank investors happy. A loan at 0% offers the bank zero incentive for lending money.
The purchase of bonds increases the amount of deposits in people's bank accounts, which enables banks to loan more money
