NINA loan
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: NINA loans
Etymology: From a coding system for classifying loans to be securitized, in which N indicated "no verification", I "income", and A "assets". Other letters used were S "stated by borrower, unverifed" and V "verified".
Senses: examples: text: Low and no-documentation mortgages. Known as "NINAa" (no income, no asset verification) in the trade, these were readily available through national lenders like Citicorp Mortgage in the 1980s. Now they are primarily available through alternative brokers. Southwestern Mortgage, Inc. advertises the ultimate "no nothing" NINA loan for applicants who want to avoid paper hassles; No income verification, no tax returns, no pay stubs, no W-2 income tax forms, no established credit history needed, no Social security numbers, no U.S. immigration green card required.
ref: 1991 December 22, “Alternative Financing Picks Up Popularity”, in Toledo Blade (Ohio):
text: The NINA loan is the basis for the apocryphal “NINJA” loan that is often used as an example of excesses in the boom-era mortgage market. NINJA supposedly stood for “no-income, no job, no assets,” but no such loan ever existed. Also, the NINA code, which did exist, did not signify a loan to a borrower with no income. Rather, the code signified that the lender had no information about the borrower’s income.

liar loan
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: liar loans
Senses: examples: text: “The underwriting standards declined,” said Anthony S. Piszel, Freddie Mac’s chief financial officer. “That was across the board.” / Those who made loans and expected to sell them quickly did not care much about assuring that the loans would be repaid. It turns out that the financial wizards who made it easy to transfer risk also assured that more risks would be taken. They produced innovations like Nina loans, which, Mr. Piszel said, “found their way into prime space.” / Nina loans? / The abbreviation stands for “No income, no assets.” It does not mean the loans went to people without either assets or income, only that the borrowers were not asked if they had either. I had known about “stated income” loans — also known as “liars’ loans” — in which the bank took a borrower’s word for how much he earned. But I had not realized you could borrow money without even being asked about your income.
