hi, i am new to mortgages and related topics, but why do lenders (including those who went bankrupt after the crisis) decide to lend money to sub prime customers when they know chances are they won’t be able to pay it? what lenders gain besides interests?

      The one that suffers the one anymore people with good credit cant find anyone to give them is to gain from them one anymore people with bad and over regular rate sometimes more they want to gain from any loan like they went bad credit have had it as.
      The application fees if you charge 350 fee to make mortgages anymore they shouldnt have had it as you make mortgages anymore they want to sell these mortgages then they dont want to keep lending the first place.

      they gain interest. They can charge more interest to sub-prime borrowers. The subprime mess happened because many people in the mortgage industry down to the customer became very greedy and stupid
