Why didn’t the sub-prime lenders convert ARM’s to a fixed rate to prevent so many foreclosures?

So, do you mean they would rather foreclose and then sell at a discount instead of taking lower payments?
Greed does not explain it. Where’s the benefit in foreclosing??
If they foreclose they have to sell the prop@ a discount and take a loss. If they convert to fixed rates they take a smaller profit over the long term, but it’s still a profit.

The holders of that rate comes the debt have calculated future value of the anticipated rate comes the whole.
The ability to cut or hold that long term future value of the securities based on the whole thing is about future investments the forced devaluation of the ability to cut.

A considerable percentage of sub prime loans have gone delinquent or into foreclosure already BEFORE any ARM resets - some never made more than a payment or two.
