Regarding the mortgage industry, can someone explain the terms “sub prime” ?

Sustagurl2 asked:


I have heard as well as read, this year alone, 1 million Americans will lose their homes to foreclosure.

The mortgage industry uses so many terms most individuals don’t understand and today, I need clarity!

Maybe, just maybe if people were given a mortgage dictionary, if you will, prior to obtaining a mortgage, they would understand what they are about to pursue.

What do the words “sub prime” mean? Please explain to me, as if I were a ten year old!

Thank You Kindly!

Frances
