What is a sub-prime and Alt-A loan?

A sub-prime loan is a type of loan that is offered to those individuals that have poor credit histories and/or have a relatively high risk of default. Sub-prime loans tend to be costlier in terms of closing costs, fees and APRs than traditional (prime) loans. An Alt-A loan is a type of loan that is offered to those that don't qualify for prime loans, but who have a better risk profile than those in the sub-prime category. Alt-A loans are costlier than prime loans in terms of fees and APRs, however, they are not as costly as sub-prime loans.
