These loans are also known as subprime loans, of course this situation attracted a lot of attention, all owners of trouble loans were investigated. Normally as a source of money for mortgages banks use the money saved on deposit accounts by clients. But Countrywide Financial has another scheme for its operations, it borrows money on the Wall Street, so it obtains amount of money enough to invest it in mortgages, and finally sell these home mortgages on secondary market.
These transactions are held again and again, which enables the lenders and borrowers get their additional money. This cycle worked great until we faced the mortgage crisis. After becoming the owner of Countrywide Financial the Bank of America became the owner of around 5800 branches located in 31 different states in US.
Also Bank of America owns 700 loan offices and 200 banking centres located all over the United States of America.
Taking into account that a lot of borrowers loose their houses at the end, this input of money is very profitable transaction for Countrywide Financial executives.
