[quote=flu] what if rates are so low, that monthly payments (…) lower than your typical rent prices? I think that would bring out some sideline folks…[/quote]
But the rents are or could be falling too, maintaining (in SoCal at least) the renter’s advantage?
[quote=flu]The next thing though, is what about down payment? Well, what if that was somehow subsidized? Seems like a win win win situation to me for fed/state/banks at the expense of the rest of the folks paying for such subsidies.[/quote]
I am not sure I understand – how would that be different, or “better” than your previously common 0-5% down?
