are subprime mortgages dangerous
Subprime mortgages are for those with a poor credit history, often 600 or below. The most common type includes the ARM, or Adjustable Rate Mortgage. The interest rate starts at low, but increases later on, which makes payments higher, often catching owners off guard.
The numbers have not been quantified yet. But I believe it would be less than 10% of the US loans.

Subprime mortgages are loans intended for borrowers who are perceived to have high credit risk. Although these mortgages emerged on the financial landscape more than two decades ago, they did not begin to expand significantly until the mid-1990s. The expansion was fueled by innovations--including the development of credit scoring--that made it easier for lenders to assess and price risks.

It's all these subprime mortgages and bad mortgages. They are practically worthless cause people cant pay them back. The banks lended money to people who couldn't pay them back. Now these crappy mortgages are all packaged up and Wall St. sold them to different places, and this was done behind closed doors.
