I am just curious as to when 15 and 30 year mortgages started becoming common in the USA.

Why Do Mortgages Interest Rates Change?
I am baffled. I know there are ARM’s, and that lending companies sell their mortgages to others to collect payments and so that their books look excellent at the end of the year. I just don’t know a few equipment:
1 – if the Fed has cut interest rates, wouldn’t that rate cut trickle down to the mortgage industry? If so, why would mortgage interest rates increase?
2 – Were people knowledgeable of the “ballooning” that was going to happen?
3 – Why did lending institutions issue mortgages at adujustable rates knowing that they were going to increase out of peoples budgets?
Any explanation of what is happening would be appreciated. Thank you!

Is It OK to Refinance a Home, and Than Sell It in a Few Months?
Do You Have Income with a Reverse Mortgage Loan?
I’m having distress result the law that states the answers for these. I’m only looking for the law that will answer my questions.
When I take my monthly draw from the bank from my reverse mortgage loan is that considered income? Also can I deduct the interest when it is added to the outstanding loan balance each month.
