1. Sub prime customer - A customer who does not have a great credit history and does not have the income to pay the monthly mortgage payments on the loan he is asking for
2. Sub prime Loan - A loan that is granted to a sub prime customer

If you have a monthly income of $10000 and you ask for a mortgage loan with monthly payment of $4000 then you are a good customer

If you have a monthly income of $4000 and you ask for a loan with monthly payment as $10000 then you would be a sub prime customer
