Dumb and gullible. As I've said, they're told what to think by those idiots.

Trump, a true champion for the working man. 50 year home loans and 15 year car loans. He will push for laws making it mandatory half the interest on these loans go to Israel.

Yea I read up on it a bit but having one less subprime lender still hurts the used car market

Yeah it’s a bad deal and is going to impact all auto lending originators ability to raise capital. I’m buddies with the guy from JPM who was managing their tri-color portfolios and needless to say I think he’s looking for a job.

Maybe what the Trump admin is working on.

I really hope not. Loan guarantees at that scale are no bueno plus they would have to print a shite ton of money to cover it. Even residential tagged loan guarantee programs with UCC1s are difficult to do anything with.

This is insane. The people who would need a 15 year loan to afford a car are the least likely to be able to pay for the expensive repairs that start hitting after so many years while also still paying a car note. They’ll be crazy upside down on a loan well after the car has outlived its useful life if they buy many brands.

I can maybe hear a case for a 50 year mortgage


50 years is insane. You buy a house at 25 years old and you will be paying on it until you are 75. A lot of homeowners will die still owing on their home so... who will own it then? Sounds like a sweet deal for the banks.

15 year auto is insane


I just ask ChatGPT to look up some information on how long the average American keeps a car for before buying a new one. It says between 8 and 8.4 years, but says the average age of vehicles on the road is about 12.5, 12.6 years old and that reflects people are holding onto cars longer (it didn't say this, but it can also mean more people are buying used).

There will be a lot of people who will have a car note for their entire lives. They are paying a 15 year auto note, when the car is 10-11 years old it will need work done on it that might be too much to pay out of pocket, so they decide to just do some type of trade in where they will not get much at all for the vehicle and then they get a new car that will have the previous car's note added on to it.

Because car dealerships isn't worried about selling cars, they make their money on financing.

But debt... Its the American way.

Nobody in the Trump administration has said this to be true. Why you spreading these lies?

If the market can bear this, it should. If not, it shouldn't. The federal government shouldn't be involved, either way.

ETA: I've seen nothing from anyone in the actual administration about this?

If you're planning to move in 5 years then you shouldn't be getting into a mortgage in the first place. But you definitely shouldn't be getting into a 50 year one where you'll barely pay anything toward the principal.


There is nothing wrong with buying a house that you will be in for less than 5 years.

On a $300,000 loan at 7 percent interest on a 30-year mortgage, you have only paid around $17,000 in principal after 5 years.

Depending on the real estate market you are in, you could make much more than with an increase in value when you sell.

There are lots of variables.
