a 50 year mortgage might have some interesting leverage opportunities to invest long term where the market will likely return more than the interest cost long enough to survive a down market.

Which do you want: cheaper houses because we deported 20MM illegals, or cheaper mortgages with a return that depends upon demand inflated by illegals and housing value as a tax deduction and hedge against inflation?

I just play the cards I am dealt. If the 50 year mortgage is available I will weigh the ability to leverage borrowing for investing in assets that can appreciate faster than the cost.
