It is obviously NOT that easy to just fix for 30 years, and that’s exactly why you end up with confusing constructs...
Of course it is simple. You just have to live with the offered interest rate
I’m also reading here somewhat amused. These are all pretty wild thought experiments and naturally nothing comes out of it.
Too much is simply too much.
Sure, no one can look into the crystal ball. Not even the banks, that’s why they try to play it safe with higher interest rates for longer terms.
In the end, however, it is the case that at the end of the term, which you can conclude at an acceptable interest rate for yourself, you should only have as much remaining debt that the expected crystal ball interest rate tends to whatever.
If that doesn’t fit, meaning you either still have too much outstanding debt after your desired fixed term or the remaining debt only fits with an infinite term at high interest rates, then it just doesn’t fit.
Actually quite simple.
