New Mortgage System Proposal by Dr Eriil Dorn
Dr Eriil Dorn of Chicago visits and proposes a German style mortgage bank to reduce lending rates. He cites US census figures showing high private land mortgage totals and interest, argues current mortgage companies fail, and claims German banks cut rates to 3-5 percent with bonds at 3-3.5 percent. A domestic system could lower first mortgage rates to 5-6 percent and fund sinking at 1 percent, benefiting landowners and the economy.
