These loans are also called subprime loans, of course this situation attracted a lot of attention, all problem lenders were checked. Normally as a source of money for mortgages banks use the money saved on deposit accounts by clients. But Countrywide Financial acts in different way, it borrows money on the Wall Street, so it receives amount of money enough to invest it in mortgages, and after all sell these home mortgage loans on foreclosure market.
These transactions are held again and again, which gives a chance the lenders and borrowers get their additional money. This scenario worked without problems until we faced the mortgage crisis. After the Countrywide Financial became the part of the Bank Of America, the latter became the owner of around 5800 branches situated in 31 different states in US.
Also Bank of America unites 700 loan offices and 200 banking centres located all over the United States of America.
Taking into account that almost all borrowers loose their houses at the end, this input of money is highly profitable deal for Countrywide Financial executives.
