A 50-year mortgage lowers your monthly payment, but it works against you in almost every long-term way. You end up paying far more in interest, you build equity at a crawl, and you stay in debt for most of your life. If the housing market dips, you could owe more than the home is worth because your principal barely moves for decades. It may look helpful in the moment, but it usually benefits lenders and sellers more than the buyer.

Average first time home buyer age is 40 years old. It’s over for Gen z and Gen alpha.

Can you compound the average housing equity increase over those 30-50 years? Because over 50 years… how much is it worth?

The 50 year is just giving people bad opinions

that sounds very true. and every time I hear someone talk about rent control, I know they do not have a grasp of basic economics. because controlling what landlords can charge for rent only makes the problem worse and less rentals available

But your interest rate on a 50 year will be higher. No way it’d be as low as a 30 so it’s even worse than this

There is a clear solution. But anyone who talk about it will be banned and labeled

Hell, I’d chose the 50 year option if it means lower payment

how would it look to get a 50 yr loan and pay it off in 30yrs?

A 50 yr won’t get the same rate as a 30. The rate will be much higher

It’s the same as a car loan that is now 72 months.

...until it becomes unaffordable and we come out with the 70 year mortgage. Creative but not the solution.

We have 8 year care loans now, may as well give an option for a longer mortgage.
