" well, they did 100% financing, so they could care less if they foreclose." Its not like you can just walk away like it never happened- a foreclosure will WRECK your credit and you will have a very tough time getting a mortgage in the future!




I think she meant because they put nothing down they should have walked away from the closing table and waited till the broker could give them what he/she promised or go with another lender that could give them a better rate.



that is what I meant- thanks

I think it is important here to point out what a subprime mortgage really is. Subprime does not mean 100% financing. Subprime means that the people applying for the loan do not have good credit/and or unverifiable income



thank you for pointing this out.

subprime means you are not a prime borrower, you have poor credit.

people with 700+ ficos can still get 100% financing.
