This means that the loan is riskier for the banks to make. This results in the borrower getting less favorable terms and higher rate of interest compared to good credit customers.
Earlier, there were many lenders specialized in subprime lending. With the looming subprime mortgage crisis, these numbers have decreased to very few. This crisis started because subprime borrowers defaulted on their payment as they were unable to keep up with the high interest rates and unrealistic monthly payment.
When applying for a loan while in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the total debts of an individual (the amount of debt included in your Chapter 13 plan and the balance on your home mortgage) needs to be equal to or less than seventy percentage. However, the interest rate will be extremely high in such a scenario. For most people, this will make the mortgage payment so high that it is impossible to meet the monthly mortgage payments.
People, who refinance loans of this type, usually end up falling behind on the payments and being forced into another bankruptcy or into foreclosure. If the debtor opts for an adjustable rate mortgage, this would increase the risk even further as the interest rate might shoot up after some time depending on the index value. The payments for the loan are also for a very long period of time.
If one still wants to go ahead with a subprime mortgage loan, it is best to consult each and every possible mortgage company and compare all the available offers.
