One Rental At A Time

In this episode of "One Rental at a Time," we're diving into the intriguing proposal by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to introduce 3% mortgage rates for first-time homebuyers. Joined by Matt, the mortgage guy, we explore the potential impacts of this proposal on the housing market. While the idea of low-interest, government-backed mortgages sounds appealing, we also discuss the potential for increased demand to exacerbate the current supply issues in the housing market.
