What is a B/C loan?

Similar to the bond market, those loans which most closely conform to "vanilla" credit and property standards are referred to as "A" paper loans and loans which do not have these characteristics are described as "B" or "C" paper loans. Also, similar to the bond market, interest rates on B and C paper loans are somewhat higher than for A paper loans in order to compensate the lender for higher perceived risk.
