Back in October we posted the following image on the way to introducing a new mortgage product co-sponsored by Quicken and Freddie Mac.

In what the companies billed as “a new effort dedicated to building a better American housing system,” Quicken and Freddie announced what they called an “innovative solution” to “meet the needs of emerging markets, including millennials, first-time homebuyers and middle-class borrowers.”

What’s “innovative” about Quicken and Freddie’s “solutions”, you ask? Well for one thing, they’re willing to give millennials a home loan with just 3% down. That’s great if you’re a struggling graduate waiting tables and having a hard time saving enough money for a down payment, but it’s not so great for the stability of the US housing market and/or the financial system which got itself into all kinds of trouble making just these kinds of loans nine years ago.
