Our first home loan was an FHA at 15.5%. Some older mortgages were assumable at lower rates, but the owners wanted a huge cash payment to sell. You couldn’t get a loan for the down payment so you had to have the cash.

The big lie is that you can tax the rich...no you cant. Every time the gun is "aimed" at the rich, it misses and hits the middle class.
Rate hikes to fix inflation wont hurt the rich at all or the poor. The middle class will bear that load. The rich will pay cash and buy up all the defaulted on property and just get more rich. This is what decades of mindnumbingly stupid economic policy gets you.

If we hit double digit FFR I’m putting my entire 401k in 30yr treasuries
The answer to that question determines what both the rate of return and dependability of 30 year treasuries will be.

On the other hand, rates need to rise some.
