Lewis agreed with the assertion that the new rules are not fair to American homeowners and potential buyers.
“I do think that some of these people who will benefit from this program are not necessarily people who will not pay their loans back.But nobody paid for my ticket.I worked for it, and I worked my way up.
And I think that’s the way to do it,” America’s Agent explained.
“And I don’t think it’s to penalize the people who are already facing higher interest rates.”
