Negative-equity financing
Negative-equity financing
Negative-equity financing is a loan that's funded for an amount that exceeds the value of the collateral asset. This can happen with car loans; a buyer might want to trade in a vehicle that's depreciated below the outstanding loan balance. The new auto loan would have to cover the cost of the new car, plus the difference between the old loan balance and the old vehicle's trade-in value.
