This is a stable genius move

Lets stop pretending anyone pays off a home now with a 30yr fix

Fed gov just needs to get out of the lending biz and out of student loans. Let banks live and die by their own decisions.

50 years!?

Slave to debt for the rest of your life.

Younger people need to have a little more realistic expectations. They want a starter home to look like what their parents have.

With property taxes, you never really own it anyway.

That starter home is out of most young people’s reach financially depending on what part of the country you’re in. The government is the reason homes cost so much and they need to get the frick out of the housing business

people will never build significant equity in their housing on a 50 year mortgage, unless they make it 35+ years. There will be almost no equity in the 1st 20 years. Can you imagine paying for something for 20 years and having no equity?

Imagine an FHA loan with a 2 1/4% downpayment and a 600 month term.

Kids will be able to get into a $750k house and not build appreciable equity for more than a decade.

I love the idea but at this point it's too late. The whole economy would crash.

Hear me out.
On its face I think this is retarded but..

I would bet that most couples likely plan to stay in their house for 10-15 years before selling and moving. Having this lower note might lower the threshold for gen z and gen a to get into homes.

If you were to sit on a 50 year mortgage that’s an awful deal.

But young people are screaming he isn’t helping with affordability and this is one way to appease them before they believe the Dems will do it for them.

The replies are so typical. Just because there is a 50 year option doesn’t mean you have to use it. I mean, only poors have mortgages anyways.

30 year car loans
30 year boat loans

It isn’t crazy to offer a 50 year option on an asset that will most likely appreciate.

The should change it to only 15 year mortgages.

And only 3 for cars.

Things would get affordable quickly.
