What section 8 tenant can do to a house

Yeah, note the video mentioned mortgage fraud brought on by the banks. The upfront fees to the bank were so profitable and they would just package them and sell packaged mortgages to unwitting victims, i.e. pension funds, etc.

The incentives for fraud were built into CDO swaps and SCDO, which is how Goldman Sachs and Paulson made a billion plus on one deal alone.

The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC) said as much in its February 2011 report to Congress. According to the FCIC, the “mortgage crisis” was not primarily the result of “reckless” lending to subprime borrowers. It was, rather, largely the result of the 2007 collapse in the market for collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). And the CDO market collapsed because more than half of all CDOs issued in 2006 and 2007 were so-called “synthetic” CDOs.

Regular CDOs are packages of mortgages that trade like securities. So-called “synthetic” CDOs do not contain mortgages themselves. They contain bets against mortgages, usually in the form of credit default swaps. That is, the sellers of these “synthetic” CDOs (more than half of the overall CDO market in 2007) were people who were betting against mortgages and therefore wanted the mortgage markets to collapse.

As the FCIC also made clear, just a few specialist firms (working with no more than fifty short sellers) created all of the “synthetic” CDOs that came to comprise more than half of the overall CDO market. Importantly, those specialist firms did not package these “synthetic” CDOs with bets against average subprime mortgages. They and their short selling clients packaged them with bets against the worst possible mortgages in the nation—a select number of handpicked mortgages that seemed certain to default.

Thus, over half the market was actually comprised of securities that had been designed to implode by people who were betting that they would.

The lenders were not on the hook, they received fees upfront and Wall Street packaged the mortgages and sold them then bet against them. A great deal of incentive to take anybody with a heartbeat or not to be approved for a loan. Once criminals realized the scam, guess what it became a business model, just as long as those fees keep on coming and the CDO could be sold.

It of course drove up the price for home ownership, as the demand was manipulated.
