Are you saying the 100 year mortgage should not be an option available to
homeowners? Perhaps you'd favor eliminating all mortgages.

Your a complete financial idiot!!! And most people who agreed with you are just as stupid!! You haven't even begun to scratch the service or understand what is really going on with the housing debacle! My advice to anyone thinking of buying a home right now, or in the next few years, DON'T!! Rates will go up, unemployment will go up, the value of the dollar down, real estate down, and stocks down. Thank the average American who is scared to read, or watch something other than “American Idol”. They wanted change and they are going to get a lot more than they ever understood.

I personally find it a huge news. The split of Citigroup into Citicorp and Citi Holdings is interesting, and I’m not sure how much difference will be there for a Citibank customer. So Citicorp, the name of the company which merged with Travelers Group…

Thanks Enrique for the information. And how do the people of Switzerland like the 100 year mortgage? Is it popular?

Swiss banking and credit rules are very tight and conservative. This is because they learned from the past on bad lending. Why do I mention it? 100 year mortgages are a norm in Switzerland where real estate is very expensive. By the way, current interest rates in Switzerland are around 3%.

It is now very difficult for the general public to qualify for a mortgage loan now that the sub-primes are gone. Even with the drop in home equity the last couple of years, most people are not very excited about the traditinal 30yr mortgage. These are some wild financial times and I don’t think things will ever go back to the way they were 20 years ago. We need some fresh home lending ideas that are going to be practical, no matter how outrageous they may sound. We need a home loan revolution and I think the “Centurion Mortgage” is a concept whose time has come.

I though the general idea was to eventually own the property you live in. Maybe the issue is really not earning enough income to be able to afford to live inthe community you actually work in.
