// Why it matters
The most expensive problem is the one no one is looking at.
It never shows in the numbers. It hides in the structure beneath them — the leverage no one mapped, the cause no one named — and it surfaces at the worst possible moment.
Today that problem is loudest in the housing market: Fannie Mae LL-2026-03 just changed what makes collateral salable, and where it hits, it can take 10–30% of the balance — on loans still paying on time. Tomorrow it’s somewhere else. The pattern never changes.
