I don't really care about this. Let people enter into whatever sort of contracts they want to enter into.

Dave Ramsey has his place. Credit card debt, even auto loans ... he makes good points. However, with home loan interest deductibility, his emphases extrapolated to home borrowing is generally nonsensical.

You got to live somewhere and it'll still be better than renting long-term.

The lower monthly payments may allow young people to get into a home.



The sure way to make homes more affordable for young people is for the reigning political class in the Potomac Beltway to quit promoting inflationary policies that increase the money supply.

Such money printing leads to more money chasing the same amount of goods, inevitably leading to higher prices.

Not if buyers cannot qualify for (or afford) the monthly notes.

Once rates drop even .5 we get 5mil new buyers

How many homes are available? Will that cause values to rise? Does a 50yr mortgage matter

Well, if you think about it, many people have mortgages for 50 years before they are finally debt free. It might have been 4 different houses but they still had mortgages. I am not an actuary but I don't see much wrong with this from a 30,000 ft look.

in terms of home pricing? ... ABSOLUTELY!

As with Cars, if the baseline home price is unaffordable, increasing the loan period makes the price seem more affordable.

He is correct. But the average American is financially illiterate and because of that this policy is bad.

Debt is good if you know how to use it and properly manage it. But most will buy a home out of their normal price range because muh low payments and end up defaulting because soon as their financial situation changes for the worse which happens to a lot of us they’ll default on it. If everyone made wise purchases and bought what they could afford without a 50 year mortgage but used this 50 yr to their advantage then yes it would be good. But that won’t happen

Now then!
Compare the ROI related to increasing home loans from 30yrs to 50yrs, vs increasing Auto loans from 48 to 72 months
