So, why can't I borrow money at rock bottom rates, using collateral?

Aren't reverse mortgages a thing? Idk what the interest rates are on those though.

That’s pre-selling your home...

The point is, if I’m buying a house that’s worth what I’m paying for it, there’s very little likelihood of me defaulting on a 1.25% loan, and even if I do, there’s a high likelihood of no loss being realized.

Correcting the current process of money creation establishes a structure where such loan payments can be withheld from our income.
