About this listen
In this week’s episode of the Mortgage Heroes Podcast, Andy and Memo break down the latest buzz in the housing and mortgage world: Portable Mortgages. 🏡📦
Could this proposed mortgage innovation unlock mobility and help fix the housing gridlock caused by record-low interest rates? Or will it make things even worse for first-time buyers and long-term affordability?
We take a critical look at:
🔄 What exactly is a portable mortgage?
📉 The difference between assumable and portable mortgages
💡 Who benefits—and who gets left behind
📊 The ripple effects on equity, mobility, taxes, insurance, and securitization
⚠️ Why this idea could unintentionally hurt first-time buyers and deepen inequality
🧠 Our hot takes, hybrid ideas, and what actually needs fixing
We also reflect on what we’re most grateful for this Thanksgiving, including family, personal growth, and the incredible community that’s made 20 years of Mortgage Heroes possible 🙏🏼
