On the one hand, you have a liberal twit Mel Watt in charge of FHFA (even he is going incrementally, trying deeper loan mods in Detroit first, which has nothing to lose). On the other, you have Julian Castro at HUD who wants to wind down Fannie and Freddie. We also has QM come into force this year.

I think the net effect will be zero-sum. And why would you want higher prices? Wouldn’t you rather be able to buy MORE rental property and have more tenants?

My ideal world would be cheap homes and high rents.
