By keeping interest rates ridiculously low for home loans, what the FED did was create an investor feeding frenzy for buying up properties, renovating and then either flipping or raising rents beyond the means of many low income people. They didn't raise them until inflation spiked and then they over-reacted and DOUBLED the mortgage rates within a few months. A year ago a 30 year mortage was 2.88% It is nearly 6% now and sure to go up in the near term. The FED drives this economy like a bad driver who is either pedal to the floor or riding the brake. We have complete IDIOTS running this economy.
