Extending a 400k mortgage to a 27 year old should also be rethought.

Jesus people, if you’re argument is that “but mortgages have collateral” then at least address why 20% of someone’s discretionary income over 20 years for federal loans or your lifetime income via non-dischargeability for private loans doesn’t count.

I don’t give two shits about the financial solvency of the lender, if you have to repo the house the system has failed. Throwing a massive amount of money to someone who’s probably on their second big boy job ever betting 15/30 years of income stability to pay it off is insane.
