ALT-A AND OPTION ARMS CRISIS
Many fail to realize that there are 3.7 million small businesses holding “toxic” mortgages in the form of alt-A and option ARMs. Alt-A mortgage is considered riskier than “prime” and less risky than “sub-prime,” with an interest rate between those two. An option ARM is an adjustable rate mortgage that offer low rates and payment for the first year, but will quickly increase in a bad economic climate. This topic covers the impending crisis that will result from these loans.
