2. they get out before the collapse
Then it's a big fire sale.

Buy low, sell high, wait for the collapse, then buy low again and sell high again! Rinse and repeat.

3. The profits have already been pretty much taken.
From the time a mortgage is created there are numerous little lampreys sucking a bit of blood from it and everybody takes a piece until the long term payback begins, with even more fee-generating if it's an adjustable mortgage.

Now the golden parachutes will be deployed, a few tens of thousands of lower level operatives will be taking it in the shorts and a hell of a lot of people will be without a roof and with even less spendable money than they had before, if possible.

The rise of interest rates will be necessary because there is still a lot of little dribbles and drops of money that can be squeezed out of vulnerable, broken people.
I know what it was like when I was a kid, and the recent story of the twelve year old boy who died from a bad tooth tells me it's even worse. The greedy bastards won't suffer much, but a hell of a lot of people are going to learn why unions are important and regulations necessary.

4. Its quite ingenious....deregulate and wait for the bailout
Paraphrasing the immortal words of Ronny Raygun " There they go again. "

This time they ginned it up a little with super enticing interest rates. Simply brilliant I tell ya.
