Just imagine, that this acquisition let the BofA have its own part in 25% of home loans in the US. This case is only one example out of thousands of cases, when financial institution gets substantial advantages after dealing with trouble lenders. These loans are also called subprime loans, of course this situation attracted a lot of attention, all owners of trouble loans were checked. 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 takes loans on the Wall Street, so it obtains amount of money enough to invest it in mortgages, and finally sell these home mortgage loans on foreclosure market.
These transactions are repeated again and again, which gives the possibility the investors and borrowers get their profit. This cycle worked without problems until we faced the mortgage crisis. After the Countrywide Financial became the part of the Bank Of America, the latter got under its control around 5800 branches located in 31 different states in US.
Also Bank of America unites 700 loan offices and 200 banking centres located all over the United States of America.
Taking into account that a number of borrowers loose their real estate at the end, this input of money is very successful operation for Countrywide Financial executives.
