Think Kansas.
Flat. Why? The merest glimmers of inflation barely show on the US economic horizon. On the international front: the Chinese economy just logged its’ 44th consecutive monthly deflationary reading in the PPI, the Japanese and European central banks are still pushing the QE string, and oil prices are drowning in a supply glut projected to run through 2020.
So what is the appeal of the 504 product as a fixed rate?
How about the notorious ability of economic forecasts to be something less than accurate?
504 is a risk management product: for both a lender and a borrower. By taking rate risk off the table for the full life of the loan on thirty to forty percent of the total credit profile a lender earns the rightful gratitude of both their borrower and those tasked with their institution’s Asset/Liability management.
