    If a bank makes only 3% profit on a loan, for every loan that is not paid back, over 33 need to perform perfectly. Banks have been perfecting risk assessment for thousands of years - why would they suddenly change?https://twitter.com/Hosscaptn1/status/1170079622622523400 …

    Banks don't willingly lend to people who can't pay back a loan. They have risk assessments in place to midigate the risk of loaning to someone who can't pay back. The government told them they had to ignore some of the factors in their risk assessments

        They don't charge 3% but more, and in most cases they make sure that there is some kind of collateral. The big problems occur when the value of that collateral drops more than 30% during a major recession like 2008.

        Stefan, that risk is priced into the MBS. They are stratified based on risk characteristics. Investors take risks based on those characteristics. That's how the mortgage market works

        I am refinancing my home with a lower interest rate with the same mortgage company with the older, higher interest rate. Why would that company do this seeing as how they would make less profit from the new mortgage? Closing costs and fees!

        Not really bankers measure returns on an annual basis. It would be more accurate to say banks make 3% per year on a loan. Therefore if a loan fails the bank needs 33 to perform perfectly that year to cover the loss, not 33 to be completely paid off.
