Subprime lending

(also known as B-paper, near-prime, or second chance lending) is lending at a higher rate than the prime rate.

Subprime refers to loans made to "less than good" credit, often with higher interest rates as a penalty for the bad credit.  These end up very often in foreclosure and have a lot to do with the problems we are  having now!!!
