The Landlord Lens

The housing market just got hit with one of the most bizarre proposals we’ve seen in years: a 50-year mortgage plan pushed as a “solution” to affordability. But does stretching debt across half a century actually help buyers… or does it quietly push home prices even higher while trapping people in decades of interest?

In this video, we break down:
• How a 50-year mortgage actually works
• Why it could explode demand and drive prices up even more
• The hidden cost nobody is talking about (especially the total interest)
• Whether this helps first-time buyers or just balloons the housing bubble
• What this means for renters who are already squeezed
• And how landlords should think about long-term demand, pricing, and investment

This isn’t politics — this is about your money, your rentals, and the real-world impact on the housing market going into 2026.

If you’re thinking about buying, refinancing, raising rent, or expanding your portfolio… you need to understand how this could reshape the market.
