From BusinessWeek, we have an article on Nightmare Mortgages.
Click on the side link labeled Worst Practices.
Consider Greg, a single father earning about $45,000 a year as a baker in San Diego who asked BusinessWeek not to use his last name. A decade ago a bank might have given him a mortgage for about $100,000, or 2.5 times his income, the rule of thumb. Yet he's on the hook for about $940,000, or nearly 21 times his pay, with two loans on two houses from Countrywide and Accredited Home Services.
Do you see the problem?
