Well, Team O announced their mortgage foreclosure plan.
Folks who have — or soon will default on their mortgage commitments will get their loans repriced at 2%, lengthened to 40 years, and then have their loan balance reduced, if necessary, to cram the defaulters down to payments (P&I, insurance, taxes) equal to 31% of their income.
If you’re sitting with pristine credit, banks MIGHT give you 5% to 6% for 30 years with a 10% downpayment.
Default, you get 2%; credit worthy, you get 5%.
Who in the world thinks that’s fair ?
