Deadzone,
You assume people have no assets and need huge loans. Most successful professionals I know have hundreds of thousands and many have millions in the bank by their mid 40’s. They have a big chunk which they consider their “house money”. You may not know people like that but I know tons of them. They exist whether you want to beleive it or not.
