@LordMandrake3@NortonMpls They sit empty because there is no demand in that area at the moment. Foot traffic has died, people don’t feel safe there, and Minneapolis has overtaxed (property and sales) and business struggles. I’m sure 90% of the property owners would rent it if they had interest.
@CBulldogTrader@pulte Short term rates don’t affect mortgage rates - if you want to lower mortgage rates look at LLPA’s. And Gfees .They increased significantly since Fannie /Freddie conservatorship.
@ramirez0131@mortgagetruth The guy who posted this also said FHA was the “highest risk” loan during the 2006-2010 vintage. Left out NINa 100% financing , option arms, 2/28 arms with 3 yr prepay to name a few. I knew he didn’t have facts after that.
@mortgagetruth@BradDombrosky Insert banker comment on duration risk. You can’t borrow short (deposits) and lend long. That’s why. Those things put banks out of business.
