What’s the mechanism for getting one of these very low interest rate loans? Isn’t that unprofitable for the bank? Or is this option unavailable when interest rates are high? 5 years ago I got a fixed mortgage at 2.5% but I couldn’t do that today, does that change if I’m rich enough?
I’m not rich enough to know the details. You can probably find answers online since it’s not like a secret. I think if the amounts are large enough, the rates can be lower so the bank still makes money. Also the collateral is worth more than a house, I think. Usually. More liquid.
