Newclo, no voy a decir que estoy en una situación parecida pero sí que he dejado pasar oportunidades, he tenido presiones familiares, etc.Medio millón de euros son muchos, muchísimos euros. Si le parece, haga la cuenta en un Excel de compra vs alquiler de la misma propiedad, pero la cuenta de verdad, incluyendo impuestos, seguros, mantenimiento, etc. Y eso sin tener que pedir hipoteca.Es posible que con ese medio millón de euros usted pueda alquilarse esa propiedad o una parecida durante 5 años y empezar a disfrutarla ya. Si los precios bajan, haga cuentas respecto a los 495k iniciales. Si los precios se mantienen o suben, puede seguir alquilando o dejarla si vienen mal dadas.No es lo mismo comprar una seguda residencia por 100-150k que te dejan tocado pero no hundido si vienen mal dadas, que no 500k que sólo en impuestos ya son 30k (¿posiblemente el alquiler de un año o más?).A lo mejor eso le hace ver las cosas de otro color y le da un poco de paz mental. A mí me ayuda cuando tengo que explicar en casa el por qué de ciertas decisiones. La gente normalmente no ve más allá del precio de venta, y no sabe que XX euros a lo largo de 25 años se multiplican, sobre todo hablando de segundas residencias (si están en sitios húmedos súmele otro tanto de mantenimiento, a no ser que no le importe vivir en una propiedad con forjados oxidados, manchas, etc.)
la vida es lo que pasa mientras lees transicion estructural.no espere ese 60% para sus tácticas personales.viva y disfrute de sus hijas.dentro de 40 años le dará igual haber perdido 300.000€ que haber ganado 400.000€.Y gracias por compartir, en este foro hay mucho nick flipao que se rie de las pequeñas historias del señor feliciano.
Donald Trump’s plans for Fannie and Freddie would mean payday for hedge fundsCritics warn privatisation of the mortgage giants would enrich Wall St but endanger the housing marketSceptics warn that the housing market could suffer if the government executes the privatisation of the mortgage agencies haphazardly © BloombergPresident Donald Trump’s plans to take public the two finance agencies that buy the majority of mortgages in the US could generate a giant windfall for a handful of hedge funds, including two of the president’s most strident billionaire backers.Trump this month vowed to relist the government’s shares in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, federally-backed agencies that purchase the majority of home loans issued in the US and which were taken into conservatorship during the 2008 financial crisis.While details of Trump’s plans are scant, hanging in the balance are tens of billions of dollars in potential gains for hedge funds along with the proper functioning of the US mortgage market itself.Trump’s recent comments have invigorated long-running bets made by investors including hedge fund billionaires Bill Ackman and John Paulson. The companies’ shares still trade over the counter, instead of on one of the mainstream exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange. The stocks of both have jumped more than 400 per cent in the past year.A decade ago, the hedge fund managers predicted the agencies would eventually be fully returned to private hands after making enough money to recoup the costs of the bailout, giving equity holders a large stake in the cleansed company that they acquired for pennies on the dollar.Paulson declined to comment.Harrison Fields, a spokesperson for the White House, said in a statement that the administration was focused on strengthening the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees Fannie and Freddie. “Any actions under consideration will be carefully evaluated in a safe and sound manner to deliver on the president’s historic agenda.”Fannie and Freddie are vital to the highly liquid US home loans market. The agencies buy mortgages and repackage them, giving banks breathing room to issue more mortgages, and allowing widespread access to relatively cheap 30-year fixed-term rates.Created by the government, Fannie and Freddie were later transferred into shareholder ownership but with an implicit government guarantee: investors widely assumed the government would step in if they ran into trouble.That trouble came in 2008 with the financial crisis. The government took back the companies in a $189bn bailout, leaving taxpayers in control of the two main cogs of mortgage finance in the US. Fannie and Freddie failed after insuring lower quality mortgages, using the government’s implied backstop to create what many characterise as a mortgage-buying hedge fund that yielded colossal losses when the housing bubble popped.Previous US presidents, including Barack Obama and Joe Biden, did not prioritise finding a political solution to free them from government ownership as the housing market recovered from the crisis. Trump, however, has shown a willingness to plough ahead, posting on social media last week that the government’s “implicit guarantees” would hold even if they were taken public.“He’s saying the guarantee is explicit. Fuck it. He doesn’t care,” said Charles Lemonides, founder of hedge fund ValueWorks, which has bet on Fannie and Freddie’s preferred shares. “There’s nuance and two sides to it. But he could care less.”The two agencies are now in strong financial shape, thanks in part to the booming housing market. Until 2019, the US Treasury department received regular dividends from the companies to repay the bailout.After the dividend payments were halted under the direction of Trump’s prior administration, the companies accrued around $161bn in capital as of the end of March, according to their most recent financial reports. That puts them in a position to be privatised in coming years without requiring a massive infusion of new cash, according to bankers and investors who have studied the two agencies.Bill Pulte, the FHFA director and chair of Fannie and Freddie agencies, has made the rounds on television and podcasts to tout the agencies’ futures on the public market.“I think these businesses could one day be worth trillions of dollars,” he said in an interview with CNBC. He also talked about the fate of Fannie and Freddie on the podcast of Donald Trump Jr, the president’s son who does not have an official role in the White House.Yet questions remain about how the government would structure any such deal, and whether the US president would need congressional approval. Sceptics warn that the housing market could suffer if the government executes the privatisation haphazardly.Benjamin Keys, professor of real estate and finance at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, said that taking the companies public would “juice the share prices” but lead to higher mortgage rates.“That’s where I’m especially concerned: the idea that the big players who have a lot to gain from spinning this off have the ears of policymakers.”Politicians have also raised alarm. Chuck Schumer, the top Democrat in the US Senate, has said that privatising Fannie and Freddie would make it “harder and more expensive to buy a home” by increasing mortgage costs, and that the scheme would “line the pockets of the wealthy”.Meanwhile, investors want assurance that the government will backstop the entities if they run into trouble, which Jim Parrott, a former senior housing adviser to president Obama, says only Congress can provide in perpetuity.“All Trump can do is commit to bailing them out should they need it during his administration . . . a commitment that would have no effect on his successors,” he said.Before forming any tangible plan to privatise Fannie and Freddie, the government must resolve what to do with its $355bn of senior preferred equity. Investors such as Ackman are betting the government will cancel its senior preferred shares, and that its $33bn in junior preferred shares will either be left outstanding, or be converted into common stock.“[The] cancellation of the preferred increases the value of the government warrants by 79.9 per cent of [the senior preferred balance] because removing the liability increases the value of the common stock by the same amount,” Ackman told the Financial Times.However, in buying Fannie’s common stock, Ackman has accepted the risk that if the government’s senior preferred shares are not cancelled in full, his common equity stake, which is ranked junior to the government’s preferred stock position, could be substantially diluted to almost zero. Investors such as Paulson have chosen a safer bet with less upside by expecting the junior preferred shares to begin paying dividends again, trading up to par value from about 56 cents on the dollar at present and just pennies a decade ago. There is also a risk that Trump does not follow through on what is likely to be a politically contentious plan.“[Trump] was backed by people who care about government-sponsored enterprises as an investment, from Paulson on down, and he is responsive to those people,” said Lemonides.“That’s where his bread is buttered.”

Consumers Are Financing Their Groceries. What Does It Say About the Economy?Increased use of “buy now, pay later” loans may signal shifting consumer habits, but could also be a troubling sign of financial stress.(...)Buy now, pay later financing, a cousin to once-popular layaway programs, gained momentum during the pandemic when online shopping surged. In 2019, consumers in the United States bought about $2 billion worth of goods and services using pay-later loans. By 2023, that amount ballooned to more than $116.3 billion, according to CapitalOne Shopping Research. But that is still a small fraction of the $1.18 trillion that consumers bought with credit cards in 2025, according to the latest consumer debt data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.As companies like Klarna, Affirm and Afterpay quickly grow, the increased availability and ease of obtaining these loans could encourage young and low-income Americans to take on more debt than they should, some consumer groups warn. Companies that offer pay-later loans typically do not conduct hard credit checks, as traditional credit cards do.Instead, the pay-later firms approve short-term financing, $500 for a television or $40 for a fast-food takeout order, based partly on a consumer’s stated income and payment history with the company. Typically consumers aren’t charged interest if they pay the installments on time. A majority of pay-later companies make most of their money by charging fees to retailers.Many of the loans aren’t routinely reported to credit bureaus or captured in public data, a potential hidden source of risk to the financial system that is sometimes referred to as phantom debt.(...)
