Yes, if you are a smart and serious buyer, you want a low principal balance, high rates, in market bottom with better economic times ahead.
There is a lot of cognitive dissonance on this site about this issue even though it was discussed here in depth many times two years ago. The Relator Triad posting here doesn’t like this because it will make it more difficult for them to earn large commissions off of fewer transactions at lower amounts should that scenario come to pass. This is why you really have to take whatever they post here with a healthy dose of skepticsm and critical thinking or you will walk away thinking that worst has already passed.
