The universe of mortgage lending has gotten to the point where there is a place in it for everybody. Joe Mays

Consider a 15- or 20-year fixed-rate mortgage instead of a 30-year, if you can afford the monthly payments – they may not be as high as you think. Suze Orman
Well, we’re just now seeing the reductions in mortgage rates. The mortgage rates are based on the ten-year rate and the Fed controls the overnight or the shorter rates. Franklin Raines
You can’t sing about the same things as you did when you were 20; it would be ridiculous to sing about, I don’t know, being in the quad. You can’t really write about mortgage payments or stuff like that… but you can talk about ‘let’s make the world a better place.’ Dexter Holland
Artists have kids, mortgages, or drug habits, and they got to do what they got to do. But reforming and the reunion stuff isn’t me. I’m a ‘moving forward’ person. Mark Kozelek
The FHA’s success provides strong evidence that government can and should play a role in the nation’s mortgage finance system. It also demonstrates that although government intervention in the economy during the Great Recession was messy, things would have been a lot messier without it. Mark Zandi
Even the once simple home mortgage now has so many flavors and styles and variations that it is difficult for people to make a decision. Scott Cook
In a forbearance, the homeowner pays interest and principal on a smaller mortgage, at least for a time, but still owes the full amount. The lower monthly payment helps with affordability, giving stressed homeowners a break. Mark Zandi
Imagine if the pension funds and endowments that own much of the equity in our financial services companies demanded that those companies revisit the way mortgages were marketed to those without adequate skills to understand the products they were being sold. Management would have to change the way things were done. Eliot Spitzer
The Tea Party was born out of the disgust many Americans felt early in the financial crisis upon learning that the federal government was even contemplating reducing the principal on some troubled mortgages. Mark Zandi
When you are 25, 30, you know, you have no responsibility, no mortgage, no kids, no retirement to think about, nothing. Eric Ripert
The highest-income Americans don’t need tax-free health insurance, mortgage interest deductions or deferred taxation on retirement funds. Steven Rattner
I got a mortgage at 17! I didn’t even know you could get a mortgage at 17. Jennifer Ellison
A lot of the problems in the mortgage world, people said, were because our competitors were evil. But a lot of it was a lack of technology – bad processes and systems. Dan Gilbert
Salary negotiations shouldn’t be limited to just salary. Salary pays your mortgage, but terms build your career. Christopher Voss
As long as I can have enough to make the record and pay the mortgage, those were always the two things that were most important to me. Peter Frampton
Homeowners who refinanced their mortgages took out cash and reduced their monthly payments at the same time. Much of the cash obtained by refinancing was spent on consumer durables, home improvements and the like. Martin Feldstein
The average credit score of today’s FHA borrowers is higher than the average American household with a score. As it becomes more costly and difficult to get a FHA loan, loans from private mortgage lenders will become more attractive and their market share will grow. Mark Zandi
I still think I’m writing Nancy Drew with a mortgage. Lisa Scottoline
I got told so many times I needed a manager. For a long time I resisted, and I finally got one so I can pay my mortgage, and it helped me from becoming a homeless person. Cat Power
I think something that forces financial institutions to write down underwater mortgages, I think, would be a sensible thing to do. Christina Romer
There have been a lot of critiques of the finance industry’s having possibly foisted subprime mortgages on unknowing buyers, and a lot of those kinds of arguments are even more powerful when used against college administrators who are probably in some ways engaged in equally misleading advertising. Peter Thiel
President Obama inherited a broken country mired in two wars, a financial crisis, a mortgage mess and more than we all probably even know about and has in my opinion brought us back from the brink. But I still see my friends in no better shape and the gap widening. Don Cheadle
I tried to sell mortgages for just under a year and saw the tail end of the mortgage crisis. I was not great at it. There was nothing really to sell. The only people at that time who were left in the business were idiots like myself. Tim Dillon
There are conventions for people with serious, boring inventions, but fad inventors need help. You need someone to talk to. You just can’t tell your friends you’re going to invent a pet rock and mortgage your house to pay for it. It’s embarrassing… risky mentally. Your friends think you’re crazy. Ken Hakuta
Preserving the 30-year prepayable fixed-rate mortgage – it’s like the bedrock of the housing system – is critical. Bill Ackman
The biggest culprits in the housing fiasco came from the private sector, and more specifically from a mortgage industry that was out of control. Mark Zandi
People find themselves in ruts all the time. You’re in a complacent lifestyle where you work 9 to 5 and then you add a mortgage and kids. You feel trapped, but guess what, brother? You constructed that life. If you’re OK with it, there’s nothing wrong with that. But if you’ve got unease, then you’ve got to make a change. Jeremy Renner
When the congregation becomes the norm by which sermons are measured, a minister has put a mortgage on his soul. Ralph W. Sockman
Once you get the kids raised and the mortgage paid off and accomplish what you wanted to do in life, there’s a great feeling of: ‘Hey, I’m free as a bird.’ Dick Van Dyke
Bad debt is debt that makes you poorer. I count the mortgage on my home as bad debt, because I’m the one paying on it. Other forms of bad debt are car payments, credit card balances, or other consumer loans. Robert Kiyosaki
I think we’ve been dulled by capitalism. We’re just blobs now – we’re so worried about how we can keep paying the lease on the car, the mortgage, the lease on the toaster and all that. You can’t really think about much else. If you lose that, you lose the whole lot. Rupert Everett
Left to ourselves, we might pick the wrong health insurance, the wrong mortgage, the wrong school for our kids; why, unless they stop us, we might pick the wrong light bulb. Mitch Daniels
But the advice was not taken – Johnstone did emigrate to Canada, and did mortgage his pension; and I fear – though I failed to trace his after history – that he suffered in consequence. Hugh Miller
Tax laws favor capital over labor, giving capital gains a lower rate than ordinary income. The rich get humongous mortgage interest deductions while renters get no deduction at all. Robert Reich
If you pay off your mortgage before retirement, you take a huge financial load off your shoulders. You also become eligible to take out a reverse mortgage once you turn 62. Suze Orman
I’ve become a professional failure – in order to pay the mortgage I have to remain unemployed. Luckily, a disaster always seems to befall me at exactly the right moment. Toby Young
The one thing that offends me the most is when I walk by a bank and see ads trying to convince people to take out second mortgages on their home so they can go on vacation. That’s approaching evil. Jeff Bezos
Everything that I’ve gone through since the end of 2010, from me finding out about my financial adviser stealing, mismanaging my money – that affected everything, from child support, mortgages, to me having to sell my properties, me being in and out of court trying to modify my child support. It’s a lot to deal with at one time. Terrell Owens
An example of good debt is the debt on the apartment houses I own. That debt is good only as long as there are tenants to pay my mortgages. If tenants stop paying their rent, my good debt turns into bad debt. Robert Kiyosaki
Subprime mortgages, typically defined as those issued to borrowers with low credit scores, make up roughly the riskiest one-third of all mortgages. Michael Burry
Debt certainly isn’t always a bad thing. A mortgage can help you afford a home. Student loans can be a necessity in getting a good job. Both are investments worth making, and both come with fairly low interest rates. Jean Chatzky
First, pay off your high-interest-rate debt. If you have student loan debt – that’s low interest rate; that has a tax benefit – you can leave that out. A mortgage can be an OK one. Credit card debt is poison. That needs to be paid off right away. Sallie Krawcheck
One lesson I got from Gandhi, ‘Be the change you want to see,’ haunts me. I just feel like I can’t keep stomping around pointing the finger at BP when I am supporting the oil industry with my very own dollars and actions by buying their products, helping to pay their mortgage – plastic is from oil… polyester, shower curtains. Kristin Bauer van Straten
Potential home buyers have a two-step decision process. First, they determine whether they can afford to make a purchase – does their income safely cover their mortgage payment? Then they determine whether owning is a better financial choice than renting – are the costs of owning a home lower than the cost of renting it? Mark Zandi
Even tax breaks that are supposed to help the middle class too often skew toward the wealthy. Consider the mortgage interest deduction. While political leaders in both parties have long considered it untouchable, it actually helps those at the top of the income scale far more than those at the bottom. Dee Dee Myers
To the extent that people overpay as a result of the Libor manipulation, they should be able to get their money back. Individuals who have mortgages, pension funds who had pensioner investments – whoever was ripped off is entitled to get their money back. Peter Welch
We think if the economy remains weak that we could see mortgage rates trail down and we think that we could see rates below seven percent into early next year. Franklin Raines
You got to pick one – pay your medical bills or pay the mortgage. Most people can’t do both, and I’m no different. Levon Helm
Too-easy credit and millions of bad loans made during the U.S. housing bubble paved the way for the financial calamity and Great Recession that followed. Today, by contrast, credit is too tight. Mortgage loans are particularly hard to get, creating a problem for the housing market and the broader economy. Mark Zandi
And I think we need a combination of a freeze, potentially, and also we need to sit down with the – with the banking industry and talk to them about ways in which we can help them be able to work those mortgages out, because it’s absolutely imperative that we keep people in their homes. Debbie Wasserman Schultz
If you rent, the rent goes up every year. But if you buy a 30-year mortgage, the cost is fixed. John Paulson
I thought that there would never again be an opportunity to be involved with an industry as socially destructive and morally bankrupt as the subprime mortgage industry. I was wrong. The for-profit education industry has proven equal to the task. Steve Eisman
Mint’s business model became, ‘We’ll go for free, and then we’ll find these savings opportunities for you.’ You know, better interest rate on your credit cards, when should you consolidate your student loans, when does it mathematically make sense to refinance your mortgage, and Mint figures all that stuff out for you. Aaron Patzer
Opt for a fixed-rate rather than an adjustable-rate mortgage. Suze Orman
I had a couple come in with a negative amortization mortgage on a house that costs way too much relative to their income. They’re consuming real estate, not investing in it. Chris Cooper
I rescue families who are losing their homes because they have no jobs and they can’t pay the mortgage and the banks are foreclosing on their homes. will.i.am
You wake up one day and you realize that all these years have gone by and I have this mortgage and I have this couch and I have this life and… is this going to be my prison? Lynn Shelton
When I was a little kid, I wrote this play about all these characters living in a haunted house. There was a witch who lived there, and a mummy. When they were all hassling him, this guy who bought the house – I can’t believe I remember this – he said to them, ‘Who’s paying the mortgage on this haunted house?’ I thought that was really funny. Mindy Kaling
The most important loan to pay is your student loan. It’s more important than your mortgage, car and credit card payments. You cannot discharge student loan debt in the majority of cases. Suze Orman
Our children lost our direction because they have been compromised. They have found freedom at the ballot box, and then they have taken on plastic chains around their minds and souls and mortgage their future on credit cards. They have to learn better – they have to learn the value of ideas and health as opposed to wealth. Andrew Young
Some countries, like Saudi Arabia, where the population growth is very high, whereby you don’t have the mortgage low yet. Still the demand outstrips supply by much. Al-Waleed bin Talal
The mortgage crisis is a clear instance of consumers who needed protection. There was predatory lending to people who didn’t know what they were doing. Nassim Nicholas Taleb
In a time when my entire family had already tapped into their retirement savings and taken out second mortgages, we were grateful when any supporters, including Trump, donated to my defense and spoke out about my innocence. Amanda Knox
You know, I am mainstream America, and it really doesn’t matter what party you’re in. When you call your children and you say ‘How are you?’ – and what you are really asking is, ‘Do you still have your job? And are you able to make the mortgage payment?’, That resonates across the state, not across party lines. Sharron Angle
I have never had another job and I don’t have a mortgage. Alison Moyet
With 6 kids, I still pay off my student loans. I still pay my mortgage. I drive a used minivan. If you think I’m living high off the hog, I’ve got one paycheck. Sean Duffy
I think it is only natural that people have anxiety about the economy because the economy is real. It is their job, their ability to service their mortgage and look after their family. And in the final analysis, nothing is more important than your capacity as a breadwinner or an earner to provide for those that rely on you. John Key
The only time I’ve ever taken out a loan is for the building work I had done at our house and I did that by extending the mortgage. Andrea McLean
Remember the Tea Party movement didn’t get started in September of 2008 when the bank bailout was passed. It really began on Feb. 19th, 2009 when a television commentator named Rick Santelli stood up and said what the hell are we doing bailing out people who couldn’t afford a mortgage by taking money from people like me who are prudent? Karl Rove
While I encourage people to save 100% down for a home, a mortgage is the one debt that I don’t frown upon. Dave Ramsey
I’d love it if doors open for me in America. There are directors I’d love to work with there. I’ll always do theater, but I’ve got to pay the mortgage. Lesley Manville

The vast majority of the American people are hard-working taxpayers who take responsibility for their families, go to work every day, they pay their mortgage on time, they volunteer in their community. Marco Rubio
Ignore the annual percentage rate when shopping for a mortgage. Suze Orman
If the government wants to do social policy, it should not be done in a quasi-public company. If you have a mortgage guarantee company which is done by the U.S. government, it should be guaranteed by the originators, i.e., the shareholder. Jamie Dimon
The people who did the collateralized mortgage obligations, sold them to pension funds, then sold them short, then bought credit default swap insurance on them, are just amazing. They are a law unto themselves. Ben Stein
The two questions that anyone ever asks me are: ‘Are house prices going to go down?’ and ‘Is it a good time to fix my mortgage rate?’ Evan Davis
Right now we think that rates will stay low, that you’ll be able to get a mortgage below seven percent and that’s kicked off a refinance boom that’s going to put more money in the pockets of consumers. Franklin Raines
However my parents – both of whom came from impoverished backgrounds and neither of whom had been to college, took the view that my overactive imagination was an amusing quirk that would never pay a mortgage or secure a pension. J. K. Rowling
Yeah, I bought a house with a subprime mortgage in 2007. It was a two-year fixed rate and, like everybody else in America, I had no idea that in two years you wouldn’t be able to refinance. It was foreclosed in 2010, right before I started stand-up. Tim Dillon
Millions of Americans are struggling to pay their mortgages. They have a right to know whether members of Congress receive sweetheart deals in order to pay for theirs. Jeb Hensarling
If you followed this economic crisis and you do not think that the world is getting flatter, you are not paying attention. We saw the entire global economy at one time acting totally in sync. The real truth is the world is even flatter than I thought. Our mortgage crisis is killing Deutsche Bank. You still don’t think the world is flat? Thomas Friedman
You don’t want to have so much money going toward your mortgage every month that you can’t enjoy life or take care of your other financial responsibilities. Dave Ramsey
Millions of Americans were duped by the federal government and the Federal Reserve into buying homes they could not afford and failed to count the cost. When the financial crisis of 2008 hit, they could not keep up the monthly mortgage payments and defaulted. Mark Skousen
I’m wildly unskilled at what I do. Part of me thinks: ‘Why do I think I can pull this off?’ but the part of me that has to pay the mortgage thinks: ‘Just get on with it!’ I’ll just keep going until someone discovers I’m no good. Sean Maguire
Ladies and babies, and mortgages, for that matter, can all wait. Acting has done a strange thing to me, though. I often sit there, thinking, ‘I love this, but I wouldn’t put my daughter on the stage.’ Eddie Redmayne
We have this amazing ability to turn on the exactly same stress response worrying about a mortgage that a zebra does when it’s sprinting away from a lion. Robert Sapolsky
Most people are motivated by the economy. And if you’ve lost your job, lost your mortgage, lost your 401(k), you’re angry. And if your brother-in-law has lost one of those you’re angry still. And when you’re angry you take it out on people who are in office. Which is natural. Ed Rendell
I think the millions of people who had been able to renegotiate their mortgages so they are paying lower interest rates are better off. David Axelrod
The moment you have children and a mortgage you want things to work; you’re locked into the human project and you want it to flourish. Ian Mcewan
I don’t have a mortgage or kids, so I can lie low and tighten my belt if I need to. Rory McCann
Deception can cost billions. Think Enron, Madoff, the mortgage crisis. Or in the case of double agents and traitors, like Robert Hanssen or Aldrich Ames, lies can betray our country. They can compromise our security. They can undermine democracy. They can cause the deaths of those that defend us. Pamela Meyer
Every radish I ever pulled up seemed to have a mortgage attached to it. Ed Wynn
Worm or beetle – drought or tempest – on a farmer’s land may fall, Each is loaded full o’ ruin, but a mortgage beats ’em all. Will Carleton
You can refi your car loan just like you can refi your mortgage. It’s even easier and less expensive. There’s no appraisal process, and fees are minimal for a new car title. A couple of caveats: Most lenders require that the car be less than five years old and have a minimum loan balance of $7,500. Jean Chatzky
More than a quarter of mortgage borrowers are underwater, and 11 percent of all homes are vacant. Marcia Fudge
I did Broadway shows. And I started realizing that this is actually how I’m going to make my living. So maybe I should try to do television and film and make a better living and get an occasional residual check so I can pay a mortgage someday. J. K. Simmons
