As I understand it, Freddiemac is being given the go ahead to finance 2nd mortgages and home equity loans as a way to get people to spend their equity.
$1 trillion to $2 trillion to be injected into housing by August via GSE Home Equity financing

Where does Freddiemac get the funds to do that?
You cannot do "GSE Home Equity financing" unless you have the money on hand to pay out.

Or can easily raise it.
Raise it how?
Problem is, people soon realize they can't afford that and are returning the vehicles...
I am actively in the market for a new or used vehicle.

Same. I just can't bring myself to buy right now when the prices of vehicles are the same as down payments I made on rental houses 11-14 years ago.

Can recommend the VW Tiguan. Half the price of a pimped up highlander, 80% of the space. Interior well done
Are cars returnable to dealership? How does one do this, just drop off the car at the dealership where the buyer purchased it from?

I sold VWs when I was a kid. I would never ever buy one.
Considering a RAM V8 for boat towing and dragging my lawn mower etc., to rental properties. Also a Prius Prime (never would have guessed I'd say that) as a grocery gitter. I expect the RAM to have problems but they are way overbuilt, sitting on lots everywhere so I expected steep discounts soon and are one of the few V8s left.
Right now, I wait... I need to check the toyota for cameras facing the driver. I don't want that shiite.

it's MORE expensive to buy the used car with the 30k miles than the new model.

This seems to be the case nowadays. I am planning to drive a 2025 Toyota Camry hybrid next week. Never driven a hybrid vehicle.
Never owned a VW but from my research they are fun to drive but pain in the ass to repair which happens frequently.
I think I’m a Camry buyer for life now.

Okay one more comment haha... Do you mean that's more expensive then them having a repo man take it?
As far as hybrids are concerned, does anyone remember a taxi company that used Prius’s? Cars used as taxis are pretty good proof of quality.

Seems like everytime a buyer steps into a dealership, this is what the sales staff wants to do.
Everyone is trying to fuck you. Best to teach your kids this fact early on.

Saving money in your younger years is a thing?? No? Live frugal when young. Sock away as much as you can. There's no excuse at 68 to be broke. I don't care how much people dislike 401k's, but it's a protected asset. You can eat shit personally/job wise and keep that money and default on everything else. Compounds tax free. At 68 you could easily draw down $100k/yr and still be adding $30-50k back into the account. No kids. Taxes covered and hopefully a paid off home.
My dad burned through $750k of his 401k to keep his mostly shit real estate "empire" afloat. This was the 90's. He could have just BK'd and gave the properties back and that 401k would be about $5M right now. He spent the money to keep the properties. Which he ultimately lost anyway besides a few of them.
I think this is the case anywhere you’re able to finance anything. A looong time ago, I had a 1995 Mercury Cougar (I would buy another one if I could find a low mileage one. I loved that car) and the transmission was acting up. I took it to AAMCO. I wasn’t sure I wanted to fix it and as fast as he could, the shop owner pulled out a finance option. I laughed in his face. Then I took it to another shop and they put a new gasket on the transmission housing(?) and the car ran perfectly for another 75k miles. Everyone is trying to fuck you. Best to teach your kids this fact early on.

Bond manager Mark Kiesel sold his California home in 2006, when he presciently predicted the housing bubble would pop. He bought again in 2012, after U.S. prices fell more than 30% and found a floor.
Now, after a record surge in prices, Kiesel says the time to sell is once again at hand.
