Softer Consumer Spending?

[Ryan Clark]

I was watching television this week and saw a commercial for .9 APR on a vehicle. The next day I saw a Starbucks commercial advertising more credits for reward cards. I don't watch television much so I don't know how common this is, but I can't remember the last time I saw car makers offering that low of a rate. Has anyone else seen signs of softer consumer spending?

I’m concerned that softer consumer spending may make it more difficult for me to get a mortgage in the coming months. I live in a small town and have been looking to house hack a multi family for the past month, but not much inventory so I continue to wait.
