As a 15-year industry veteran who's helped thousands of families buy their dream homes, I'm diving DEEP into the latest White House bombshell: 50-year mortgages. Announced just yesterday (November 9, 2025), this could slash your monthly payments – but at what hidden price? I'll break down the REAL math, pros, cons, and why experts are calling it a "complete game-changer" (or total disaster). If you're a first-time buyer, millennial parent, or anyone eyeing the housing market, this is the definitive guide you NEED before rates change.In this Podcast:
The Full Story: What Trump really said and why it's hitting headlines now.
The Math Exposed: Crunching numbers on a $450K home – see how payments drop ... but interest skyrockets to DOUBLE what you'd pay on a 30-year loan.
Pros That Sound Amazing: Lower payments = easier qualifying, more cash for life (kids' college? Renovations?).
Cons That'll Keep You Up at Night: Ballooning interest (up to $500K+ extra!), equity buildup nightmare, and why banks might hike rates even higher.
My Expert Advice: Who should jump in (hint: not everyone), alternatives like assumable rates, and steps to protect yourself TODAY.
