You don’t have to redraw district lines when you can flood conservative enclaves with democrat voters through policy. They are looking to take over at the local level nationwide.

Hell replace credit score with social score like the chins



Don't worry, that's coming... but I'm scared shitless to see what criteria are considered in a social score as determined by our government. Guarantee my posting on here will be a ding against.

I saw a great point posted on the Twitter. The likes of Blackrock are pushing this bullshite. The subsidized folks with shitty credit will use the assistance to buy homes that they can't afford, subsidized by the ever-shrinking responsible producer class. They default, and Blackrock etc buy up the properties in auction. They turn the properties into rentals for the shitty credit type folks (section 8) that can't afford the homes.

The whole thing is a disgusting mix of communism (taxing the responsible producers) and fascism (the government and Blackrock types being intertwined).

Man I thought I’d see the silver lining after reading it but this is just punishing those with good credit scores for no good reason. What a dogshit policy put forward by dogshit people.

There is no context needed. This is theft plain and simple.

JFC they are so stupid. Not only will they hurt good borrowers they will help the big banks. The big banks who don’t have to sell the mortgage debt will create special programs that keep things the same for “preferred” buyers. Help the big banks and bums, hurt the responsible borrower and small banks.

The matrix has been fubar since it’s inception. If you had a credit score of 685, you’d get a better rate borrowing 95% LTV than borrowing 80% LTV, and it’s been that way for almost a decade.

I bought a house slightly over a year ago, with a credit score in the 780 range. I put 20% down, but my interest rate would have been lower if I had made a smaller down payment. The lower rate would have probably exceeded the PMI. But it was a bizarre range to get the lower interest rate (something like 15-16%, any lower or higher would have increased the interest rate).

It was probably a bad decision, but I still put down the full 20%. I could have taken the money saved with the lower down payment, put it into a basic bitch savings account/bonds, and been OK. But I didn't feel comfortable with the monthly payment by putting down less than 20%, so I did. So it goes...

it's wrong either way, but is this even going to have a significant impact on getting the poors a mortgage

feels like it's going to hurt the vast majority and help very very few

It will have plenty of unintended consequences on the periphery. As interest rates stabilize, “middle class” home sellers are likely the most impacted. People buy homes based on monthly payments and not purchase price, so the higher borrowing costs will be eaten by the seller. Lower end homes get more expensive, because there is a DTI component that kicks in 8/1/23 that will keep people from being able to afford too much more house.

About 1/8th of the credit scores in the US fall in that 620-679 score range that’s most helped by this change. 65% or so of credit scores will likely pay more, and the rest don’t have high enough scores to qualify for conforming loans.

I tend to believe these things are mostly a zero sum game.

Rates go marginally higher for the upper 2/3rds, so home prices there will have to compensate (hence why every realtor association is against this change). Rates get better for the lower scores/class, demand goes up, and “starter” homes go up in value and eliminate the savings.

It is a poorly written article, for sure.

My FICO is 800 plus. So borrow my maximum load up on debt. File bankruptcy and throw a big arse party. Why keep an excellent credit score if it hurts you? All people with good credit scores should do this Just a thought.

Yeah my attempt to clear up the article is being downvoted to oblivion. The headline is accurate, but in absolute terms you’re still better off with good credit. The better your credit, the lower your rate.
