    The Carter era had ultra high interest rates but the serious inflation started in the early 70s. Remember the Nixon wage and price controls announced in August of 1971? The price of houses in the NYC area shot up about 50% between 1970 and 1974.

    I agree we had some ugly fiscal policies in the 70s. A lot of it was
    trying to hide the cost of a stupid war. Pissing off OPEC in the Yom
    Kippur war didn't help much either. I got my house before things went
    nuts.
    I remember in 71 I had a dumb builder guarantee me 7% and by the time
    he finished the house the rate was 7.5% but he screwed up and let us
    move in. One of my customers at the time was a real estate lawyer and
    he said they couldn't make me move out and they couldn't make me pay
    rent because of the language in the contract we had. We were just
    squatting there for free. I ended up finding 7.25 (my MIL was a VP at
    Riggs at the time) and I made the builder knock off the difference on
    the schedule Z from the purchase price. That actually was better than
    it sounds because since I was not financing as much, my actual
    schedule Z was less.
    Evidently I wasn't his first mistake because after screwing up a
    couple more houses and going bankrupt, he shot himself a year later.
    I never got my warranty problems fixed. I bet my ex still has a bad
    door casing in the guest room.

    I went up and fixed her hot tub once but that casing was bad for 14
    years when I lived there. I doubt she even knows it is bad.

    I wonder if she'll let me screw her?
