The reasons stated here are exactly why I think to myself that I had better get a home of my own before the “**it hits the fan”. And quick! If I have that home and the dollar collapses at least then I have a place to grow veggies, raise the kids, have “defensible space”, put up fences etc…If I wait too long – the stock market will evaporate, interest rates will explode and my dollar buying power will tank.
…so…assuming the worst…why not take every possible step to get into a home now and start paying a mortgage at “TODAYS” dollar value???
