Bankrate.com recently compared 30- and 40-year mortgages and found on a $312,000 loan at 6.85% interest, the monthly payments were $2,044 for 30 years and $1,904 for 40 years.


Yea, totally worth it.

They're slowly moving towards people becoming permanent renters. 99% of people will never ever pay off a loan that long and they'll also begin to reduce down-payments as well.


I hate our "elites", they need to go.

If you’re still a rentoid at this point you don’t deserve to ever live in a house

Hmm wonder if the investment math adds up to be better or not.

somewhere over in the Nordic countries, they do 100+ year mortgages. It is insane.

I understand that this is new for FHA. But these have been around for at least 20 years.

I’d still call it a non-story

And people are called conspiracy theorists when they state that they are trying to create a slave class.

I’m down. I would probably take as long or a term as possible, if interest rates were essentially the same as a 30 year. You can always pay more.

A 40 year mortgage to me makes more sense than the 7 or 8 year car notes. Both are insane though.

China has 99 year leases for individuals instead of actual ownership. We're heading that way.

If it gets you in a house and it makes the first years manageable, it’s not completely bad. I just feel like you have to do whatever it takes to get in the house. After settling in work on the rest.

Which will lead to another bubble and help keep prices artificially high.

US Govt should have issued 40 yr - 100 yr notes when rates were so low.
