What is a Subprime Loan? A subprime mortgage is a type of loan offered to borrowers with poor credit scores. Typically these are individuals with credit scores lower than a 600 and cannot qualify for a conventional loan. This may also include borrowers with derogatory or adverse credit histories.
The subprime mortgage crisis was also caused by deregulation. In 1999, the banks were allowed to act as hedge funds. They also invested depositors' funds in outside hedge funds. That's what caused the Savings and Loan Crisis in 1989, Many lenders spent millions of dollars to lobby state legislatures to relax laws.
