Inman - "Survey: Nontraditional loans more popular than subprime" (8-15-06)

"Loan officers say both types of loans performing as expected or better"

"Of the 30 domestic banks with subprime residential mortgages on their books, nearly three-fourths said they accounted for less than 5 percent of their mortgage portfolios. One-fifth reported the share of such subprime loans was between 5 percent and 15 percent. Only three banks, or 10 percent of those surveyed, said subprime loans made up more than 20 percent of the mortgages on their books."
