Ok that’s three housing mentions tonight…no new announcements on housing affordability, which I thought we might get.

Trump highlights his executive order banning large investors from buying single-family homes. “Homes are for people, not for corporations.”

Trump mentions affordability but not in relation to housing.

Trump touts adding 70k construction jobs, but doesn’t specify housing construction.

Trump’s first mention of housing is about keeping home values up

Housing nerds: I’m going to be tracking housing mentions in the State of the Union speech tonight. Will we hear any more about the 50-year mortgage? Banning investor loans? Stay tuned

We did a special episode answering the most frequently asked questions from listeners!

A 50 year mortgage would lower the monthly payment but hits equity and wealth building. Also not currently allowable under Dodd-Frank. www.housingwire.com/articles/tru...

Data tells the real story here-despite what the doomers would have you believe!
