I absolutely agree that lending standards have gotten much looser....I got somebody approved yesterday for a stand alone 2nd mortgage that will allow up to 90% LTV on cash/out refinance on a double-wide mobile home on 10 acres....the kicker is that this person had a bankruptcy discharged in 1/98....I could get this person a 9.625% fixed rate....amazing!.....and no, the money was not to play in the market <ggg>....it is to buy another mobile home to put on the land.

In 1991, it was very hard to get mobile homes financed at all; I definitely couldn't have gotten any form of stand alone 2nd; and if I could have gotten a cash/out refinance done, it would have been limited to 75% of value; but, most importantly, this person's credit history would have been an automatic disqualification for several more years.

Times have changed....easy credit rules....and I wouldn't buy any mortgage backed securities from the "sub-prime" lenders.
