The Loans That Caused the 2008 Recession Are Coming Back

from BiggerPockets Daily · host BiggerPockets

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? Subscribe to the BiggerPockets Channel for the best real estate investing education online!
