Normal trump, pull something out of his ass without any actual thought or research on the topic and tell the cult everything is solved.

I am very confused by the new MTG — seems like evidence of actual body snatching or cloning or something very Sc Fi going on.

I don't believe her capital gains idea would help first time home buyers get into homes.

Fannie Mae scraps minimum credit score for DU loans

Pulte touts move as 'big deal for consumers' but 'small or nothing deal for underwriting'

“… The change, detailed in the latest DU Version 12.0 release notes and Selling Guide update, represents a major shift in mortgage eligibility and could help more borrowers with lower credit scores but solid finances qualify for loans.

… Instead of relying on a hard credit score cutoff, DU will now evaluate a broader set of credit risk factors, including a borrower’s credit history, income, debt levels, property characteristics, and loan purpose.

… Fannie Mae clarified that lenders must still request credit scores for all borrowers, as required for loan sales, and certain loan types or private mortgage insurers may continue to impose their own minimums.

The update also expands Fannie Mae’s Day 1 Certainty program, offering lenders relief from enforcement of representations and warranties for certain undisclosed non-mortgage liabilities.

Additionally, documentation and homebuyer education requirements for borrowers without traditional credit will now be triggered only when no borrower has at least one credit or installment account reported.…”

The irony here is that Republicans dismissed the effects of hyper leverage through synthetic derivatives on the GFC, preferring instead to blame agencies pushing affordable mortgages to unqualified borrowers as the sole reason behind the economic crash. Now Trump says to lower standards and it’s genius. So pathetic.

It might help soften the real estate market by making it more palatable for people to sell their homes and buy new/different ones. More supply = lower prices for everyone, including first time home buyers.

Currently we don't pay capital gains on the first X dollars, correct?

I think the best things to help would be, don't run off labor for being brown, don't cause building materials to increase in price with tariffs, actually work to lower inflation, and help increase wages. Maybe tax to rich and close the wage and wealth gaps also.

But I'm far from an economist, so I'm open to NEW ideas.

People selling one house to buy a different one doesn’t really help supply. We need new construction that isn’t in the upper quartile of the market. The new homes being built near my neighborhood are mostly 4-5br, 4ba homes of more than 3,500sf with premium appliances and finishes. Definitely not something that many first time buyers can access.
