I actually agree with it being discussed publicly.

I dont support 50 year mortgages, or subprime loans from the FDA but Im not opposed to people discussing it.


I suppose if there is enough pushback it could be a blessing in disguise. It worries me that he's floating some of these ideas. Is he testing the water to see the reaction or is this something he wants to move forward on and he's letting us in on it? I don't know the answer to those questions.

This screams power struggle. And information is power. Who is withholding from who?

I think hes hearing that young people want to own homes.

Without building wages and improving job creation both of which take time how else can you do that?

The easiest way is how Europe has done it which is to make the notes longer and just accept that its a rent to own scheme where almost no one ever pays it off during their lifetime.

I support doing it through pushing out illegals to drive up wages, eliminating H1B visas to increase jobs and domestic white collar wages and various other means such as pushing out REITs who are artificially increasing purchase costs for buyers via changes to tax law and purchasing criteria changes.

I think a 50 year mortgage is stupid.
But I also think you could have a 50 year mortgage out of college for 10 or so years instead of renting and refinance. At least by not renting something is going towards principal. That 50 year mortgage would be less than a rent payment. Also you are allowed to pay mortgages off early.

But the dumbest poster on the board says it's a good idea.
I mean, why wouldn't you take financial advice from a complete moron?.

It would for a very brief period of time before the market adjusts to the massive amounts of new buyers able to get approved for a (likely government-backed) 50 year mortgage. That's the problem.

We need to either increase supply or decrease demand, this would increase demand and drive prices even higher imo

The US housing market is valued somewhere around $2.9T.

A 30-40% decline to pre-covid pricing would be a collective loss of $1T+.

That's not fake government debt money, that's real value coming out of peoples portfolios and it would destroy multiple related markets and likely trigger a serious 5+ year recession.

Id rather allow 50 year mortgages than see multiple generations of Americans set back 20-30% in their net worth so you can enact your agenda.

And?



It's one of those lessons I learned on here in 2007 via JerseyTiger.

Why do you hate the free market and removing government manipulation?
