a friend just signed on 15-yr 5-7/8% refi, $2k closecosts
so we are on the verge of sub-6% now generally
the pace of American transitions is scarey
that pace can work toward movement into Hyper-Recession also
the danger signal is widening Corp Bond spreads
these lower rates dont do JackShit for corporations
they are certainly free to swap contracts for FedFund 1.75%
akin to a homeowner taking on Adjustables, with inherent risk

thanks on exchange with Philp, very bright guy

sad to see the fate of so many tech types operating with a ball & chain from the wrecked financial world
imagine you had a revolutionary tech idea now, ugh

really glad you drop a comment now and again from the banker world
