The Loans That Caused the 2008 Recession Are Coming Back
About this episode
With 30-year mortgage rates stuck near 7%, adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) are creeping back into the housing market. Could they be the key to unlocking affordability, or are they a risky gamble for homebuyers? We break down the pros, cons, and whether real estate investors should consider ARMs in today’s high-rate environment.
Then, we dive into Trump’s potential backdoor influence on the Federal Reserve. With plans to slash government spending by $1 trillion, Trump may force the Fed’s hand on rate cuts. Could fiscal tightening trigger monetary easing? And what does it mean for mortgage rates and the housing market?
