Mortgage banker urges rehabbing existing homes over new builds
Everett C. Spelman of the Mortgage Bankers Association urges diverting HUD funds from building new housing to rehabilitating existing structures. He cites 160000 annual low income units and only 10 percent in rehabilitation, notes higher costs of remodels, and warns inflation may push up mortgage rates. He links rate trends to broader inflation and dollar value, forecasting mortgage losses if inflation persists.
