The housing market is unaffordable. But the Trump administration is trying to change that. The question is: Will any of their proposals actually work?
Trump’s housing policy is clear: make buying a house more affordable for the average American. The President has floated 50-year mortgages, portable mortgages, purchasing mortgage bonds, and banning institutional investors. All of these, to some extent, could make the housing market more affordable. But, there’s one big problem that these policies overlook—one that could make a future crash or bubble much more likely.
Today, we’re breaking down the Trump administration’s top housing policies and giving an honest look at which could work, which might be just hype, and whether any will actually fix the unaffordable housing market. Plus, Dave offers his own proposal for what could change the housing market (for good) and why investor “upside” could grow if any of Trump’s proposals actually pass.
Is this a boon for affordability, or could Trump’s best efforts backfire?
