  • Marry the House, But Only Date the Interest Rate
    May 7 2024
    Jeff advises potential homebuyers in this uncertain financial climate to find a property that is right for them instead of focusing on the high rates. With the shortage of available houses on the market, the window to snap up a property is short and likely has many other applicants. Is the answer to buy now and refinance later when rates drop? Guests Ciro De Palma, Luke Manke, and Bill Orr reveal updates on new loan types, the advantage of cash over financed offers, and the state of home insurance.

  • Hey Fed, Why Such High Rates?
    Apr 30 2024
    Jeff tries to make some sense of the continued high interest rates facing the mortgage industry by breaking down some of the contributing factors. Although unemployment has remained under four percent over the past two years, suggesting a robust economy, the Fed shows no indication that it plans to lower rates anytime soon. What implications will this have for those already struggling with high home prices? Guests Michelle Wilde-Powell and Charles Giscombe provide ideas for thinking outside the box when it comes to mortgages.

  • What Exactly is Stagflation?
    Apr 25 2024
    Jeff defines the most recent buzzword that many are concerned will be the next step for the economy – stagflation. This is characterized by an economic situation in which the inflation rate is high or increasing, the economic growth rate slows, and unemployment remains steadily high. Is the US headed in that direction and can the Fed do something about it? Guests Mikke Pierson and George Gonzales shed some light on business growth strategies and second mortgages as a solution to consolidate debt.
