This business controlled the payments of mortgage was the insurance companies. They did it in order to gain some properties if the borrower failed to service the loan. The next years, this mortgage became the main part to help the country from the economic crisis. This loan was limited to almost 50 percent of the property’s market value. It meant that 50 percent loan at that time was 50 percent of down payment. It was terrible for those who had no enough money on buying a house.

The government started a program which made lower the requirement of down payment. This program gave the chances for people owning their new houses with a lower down payment. Another program was qualifying for a loan which became a trend until today. People could prepare the money spent for buying a house based on their economic condition. Not only those programs were developed, but also the lengthened the loan period was.
