An umbrella when it rains
The recognized expression states “a bank lends you an umbrella when it’s sunny, then wants it back when it rains,” currently holds true as banks reallocate resources and loan primarily to top customers.
The Federal Reserve Senior Loan Officer Survey on Bank Lending Practices reports financial institutions are lending less money on stricter terms. The primary reason for credit tightening is economic slowdown. The strong economy of the past years led to a loosening of credit standards and a mismatch between risk and reward. Now banks have become more selective in their lending practices.
The good news is that there are non-bank lenders in the marketplace, like Northland Capital.
