"Average take home pay is flat. Home prices are soaring. Means they're debt not assets." Sounds familiar.

its not only that right, you need more shit than just this, if the mortgages are being paid, with some rules it could work, but if indeed you have more than 1 mortgage, or more mortgage than value and no paying back together with variable rates, then you have a problem
Hate to say it but I would be S’ing a brick too if I were these guys. All of my millions bet on something that had never happened before. Thankfully for them Burry turned out to be 100% correct.

Lawrence Fields must have been a real jerk.
It's not fair. If you are participating in the creation of a financial instrument that hadn't hitherto existed, you ought to let the public know so that individual investors with low liquidity can borrow against their assets to short the market with you.
"Average pay is flat but house prices are soaring, that means the homes are debts not assets." Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah that's not how that works...

To clarify, he meant buying homes *in 2005/2006/early 2007 when prices were already overpriced* , makes it a liability/debt. But if you bought a home when prices were good, *on fixed rate mortgage* , then you’re generally better off if that home price rises later If you buy a home for $300,000 and then a bubble happens making the home “worth” aka valued at, $600,000, you’re not too at risk of a bubble popping because you still originally bought it at $300,000. But if you bought the home at $600,000 and then the bubble bursts and now your home is only worth $300,000 and you can’t afford those adjustable rate loans; and also can’t sell it since you’re almost $300,000 undervalued compared to what you paid for it; then you’re in real trouble…

That is how it works. Finacial institutions wanted to keep producing more Mortgage bonds, but you hit the ceiling of the market. The only way around that was to give mortgages to those that should not have been qualified, so more debt was supplied to buy houses. Supply did not keep up so prices rose, fueled by debt.

That is exactly how it happened
This guy is a lunatic. While its true there was a bubble. Its not worth the risk of your life investment. Didnt it take a year or so until it paid out. Also he could have been way too early and got margin called. Either way, risking everyones money is crazy especially when it never happened before.
