Low Mortgage Rates & You
Real estate mortgage rates are very low as I write this in August of 2010. There are some folks who can take advantage of it, and they probably should. Are you one of them?
If you’d like to buy a home and can qualify for a loan, you are one of them. If you’re concerned about inflation, you really should buy a home. If you’re right about inflation, you will pay off your loan with money that’s worth less and less, and the value of your home will go up over time. If you don’t buy a home and you’re right about inflation, your rent payments will go up and up again. There are no guarantees in life, but the government’s borrowing and its practice of “monetization” of debt make some of us believe inflation is almost inevitable, so if that describes you, you have your marching orders.
