Yes historically rates were low but with all the money printing, hand outs and debt, North America can't afford high rates. Higher rates = gov spend more money that they don't have. At 5% there are paying billions in debt repayment, more than what they spend on us, building houses, health care or education. So literally the gov has no choice but to lower rates cuz it fucks them over too.
Just like the dumbass friend that you have. That is eyeball deep in debt. Owes more debt that his annual income. Raising rates or keeping rates high will not benefit him, neither will giving him more debt, credit cards.

I guess by that logic we can say if he loses $7,200 a year for his entire mortgage length, he'll end up putting down $180,000 ($7,200 x 25) for a $600,000 condo, so you could argue it's a good forced retirement savings. Probably not the best way to scale, but for one or two properties like this, it isn't horrible?
Side note.. You calling my friend a dumbass had me in stitches. That shit was way too funny.
