Kate Brown, Introduction, Question #6

The passage that stuck out to me the most in the introduction was the description of the concept of "adult hot potato". It was surprising and somewhat frightening to hear that when dealing with loans the goal is to not be the person stuck with it when it falls through. It was also interesting to hear that the mortgage brokers were paid on commission. Being paid based on how many large mortgages were taken on no matter how risky seems extremely reckless and illogical.
