Paulson was famous for betting against sub-prime mortgages on the eve of the financial crisis. Since the crisis, prices of homes are still low as are interest rates. He said, “You can get a 30 year mortgage somewhere around 4.5%. And if you put down, say 10% and a house is up 5%, which is the latest data, then you would be up 50% of your investment.”
