Prop it 1 Drop it

The first wave of foreclosures occurred due to the re-setting of some " sub-prime" loans. These loans were predominantly the 80/20 loans that were used to assist buyers to obtain property with no down payment. Later in the cycle of the origination of these loans, the documentation requirements were lessened considerably, so that by 2005, buyers were able to obtain 80/20 loans to purchase property with little- to no-income documentation. Buyers speculated on properties increasing in value and had little regard for the payments. As the loans re-set (usually 2-3 years later), the buyers found themselves unable to make the payments or unable to refinance, and the properties ended up in foreclosure.
