50-Year Mortgage EXPOSED: Genius Investor Hack or Total Disaster? | Roots Pod #33

Struggling to figure out if a 50-year mortgage is a brilliant affordability hack or a disaster for buyers and the housing market? Wondering why Dave Ramsey is furious while investors are quietly excited?

In this episode of The Roots Podcast, Indianapolis real estate experts Max Moore and Tyler Lingle break down the real math behind a potential 50-year mortgage—how much it actually changes your payment, what it does to your total interest, who it really helps, and why it could supercharge appreciation while crushing long-term affordability.

Here’s what we cover:
• 30-year vs 50-year mortgage payment and interest comparisons
• How a 50-year loan could change investor cash flow and qualification
• Why this might boost prices more than it boosts true affordability
• The “use it as a bridge then refi” strategy (and its risks)
• What a 50-year mortgage could mean for first-time buyers in the next cycle
