The Logan Effect

The Logan effect is a common acuring phenomenon where a kid can not hear him/herself over the sound of their $100 earphones. Therefore, the sound they create is unheard by them but clearly heard by other people, causing people to become annoyed and frusterated. Despite multiple attempts to tell the person to, “shut the fuck up” the invidual will still maintain a loud voice. But, those suffering become annoyed when other people raise their voice beyond what their earphones block out.

Joan Loan

A Joan loan, also known as a jumbo mortgage, is a type of financing that exceeds the limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). Unlike conventional mortgages, a Joan loan is not eligible to be purchased, guaranteed, or securitized by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac therefore typically requires backing via connections to private equity whether direct or indirect.

Designed to finance luxury properties and homes in highly competitive local real estate markets, joan mortgages come with unique underwriting requirements and tax implications. These kinds of mortgages gained traction as the housing market recovered following the Great Recession.

This typically results in an over-leveraged person or business as theyve’ve borrowed too much money in relation to their ability to pay it back: When prices collapsed, many over-leveraged people went bankrupt.
Hey honey, look at this house. It’s a bit out of price range now, but we can apply for a Joan loan and “afford” this beautiful home.
