here's what I see:

1. opportunity for the maker to have their own financing programme, and hopefully be very affordable for the avg person, maybe even programmes for the poor, another for young families

2. If this kind of house works well and sells, it won't be the bank that funds it... they'll spin up or buy out a fintech start-up that takes on "riskier" mortgages

lots of opportunities everywhere, but we should have way more of these 3d printed homes. it should be accessible to all for a fraction of the price of a "traditional" home in the same way that prefab homes which are now overvalued and overpriced were for our parents. we need this tech to be open sourced

Most mortgages still get packaged and sold in the form of ABS or to Fannie and Freddie. I think you’d end up with an inability to package them unless you could convince the feds and asset managers that they can consistently survive the lifetime of the mortgage.
