About this listen

🎙️ The Real Estate Deal Room is a podcast dedicated to real estate growth and portfolio building for real estate investors and realtors who want a clear understanding of how financing, deal structure, and execution drive long-term success. It is also a podcast where all real estate and financing questions are welcomed and answered, creating an open and educational space for professionals at every level.


I’m Ebonie Beaco, Sr. Loan Officer and Mortgage Strategist, from Home Loans Network with over 25 years of experience in the real estate and mortgage industry. On the show, I break down the financing options real estate investors actually use, including DSCR rental loans, fix and flip financing, construction loans, bridge loans, portfolio loans, cash-out refinances, non-QM programs, foreign national and non-resident loan options, and so much more.


Each episode focuses on how different property types are financed, how loan programs are selected based on investment goals, and how financing decisions impact cash flow, timelines, and long-term real estate growth. I also walk through creative financing approaches, deal positioning, and capital planning to help investors scale with confidence.


In addition to financing, I cover how investors choose the right realtor for investment-focused transactions, how contracts are structured and negotiated, and how marketing and sales support closing and scaling deals. The goal is to help investors and realtors build strong teams, understand their roles in every transaction, and move efficiently from one deal to the next.


The Real Estate Deal Room is built for investors at every stage, including U.S.-based and international buyers, who want to grow sustainable, well-structured real estate portfolios.

    If you are buying a home, investing in real estate, or thinking about financing property, this episode is for you.

    Too many people make real estate decisions based on social media clips, opinions from friends, or outdated advice. That leads to bad deals, loan denials, and expensive mistakes that could have been avoided with the right education.

    In this episode, I break down how real estate deals actually work, how lenders really evaluate borrowers, and how loan programs impact your cash flow and long term wealth. I explain how to look at numbers like an investor, how to structure deals that make sense, and how to avoid common mistakes before closing.

    You will learn:
    ✔ How cash flow and NOI affect investment decisions
    ✔ How loan structure can make or break a deal
    ✔ What lenders actually look for in underwriting
    ✔ Why some “good deals” lose money
    ✔ How to choose the right loan program for your goals

    I also share real stories from buyers and investors so you can learn from real situations instead of learning the hard way yourself.

    If you want real estate education that is practical, honest, and based on real numbers, this episode will help you move smarter.

    Where Real Estate Investors & Realtors Learn How Deals Actually Get Financed

    Strong cash flow. Solid properties. Declined loans.

    If you’ve ever had a deal fall apart because the numbers worked but the financing didn’t, The Real Estate Deal Room Podcast is for you.

    Hosted by Ebonie Beaco, Mortgage Strategist & Senior Loan Officer with over 25 years of real estate and mortgage experience, this podcast breaks down the real financing strategies investors and agents need to close deals that don’t fit inside traditional lending boxes.

    Inside the Deal Room, we talk about:
    → Bank statement loans
    → DSCR and cash-flow-based financing
    → Investor loan strategy and deal structuring
    → Foreign national and Canadian investor financing
    → Buy-and-hold, portfolio, and scale-up strategies
    → Why good deals get denied and how to fix it

    This isn’t theory. This is how loans actually get approved.

    Each episode pulls back the curtain on underwriting, cash flow analysis, and lender placement so you understand what loan goes where and why that matters when money is on the line. Whether you’re an investor trying to scale or a realtor tired of watching deals die in underwriting, this show gives you the clarity lenders don’t explain.

    And if you want to go deeper, Wine Down Wednesdays happen live every Wednesday on YoutTube @The Real Estate Deal Room, where we break down real deals, answer your questions in real time, and talk strategy with investors and agents across the country.

    🎧 If you want to stop guessing, stop getting declined, and start structuring deals that actually close, hit play and step inside The Real Estate Deal Room Podcast.

    🎙️ Trump, Institutional Investors and Single-Family Homes Separating Headlines from Reality

    Housing headlines are loud right now.
    Social media is even louder.
    And when politics, real estate, and money collide, confusion spreads fast.

    In this episode of The Real Estate Deal Room, Ebonie Beaco, Senior Loan Officer and Mortgage Strategist, cuts through the noise and breaks down what the conversation around Trump, institutional investors, and single-family homes actually means for the real estate market.

    This is not a political debate.
    This is a real-world mortgage and real estate conversation grounded in what is actually happening inside lending, underwriting, and transactions today.

    Throughout this episode, you’ll hear a clear, easy-to-understand breakdown of:

    • What an institutional investor really is and who this conversation is actually about
    • Why headlines can sound dramatic while real estate moves much slower
    • What Trump’s comments change and what they do not change right now
    • How institutional buying impacts inventory, competition, and pricing in certain markets
    • What first-time homebuyers should and should not be worried about
    • How real estate investors can think strategically instead of emotionally
    • Why Realtors and loan officers play a critical role in calming fear and guiding smart decisions

    This episode is designed to help you connect the dots between housing policy talk, market behavior, and mortgage reality so you are not making decisions based on fear, speculation, or social media opinions.

    Whether you are buying your first home, building an investment portfolio, or advising clients, this conversation will help you understand what matters, what doesn’t, and what to watch next.

    📣 If you are a real estate investor or a Realtor, this episode was made for you.

    Investors, the strongest strategies are built on education, not headlines. Understanding how market conversations influence buyer behavior and financing can help you stay ahead of shifts instead of reacting late.

    Realtors, your clients are looking to you for calm, clarity, and confidence. This episode gives you language, perspective, and insight you can use in real conversations when buyers feel uncertain or overwhelmed.

    🎧 Listen to this episode to strengthen your market knowledge, elevate your client conversations, and position yourself as a trusted professional in a headline-driven environment.

    🎥 Join us live every Wednesday at 7 PM CST on YouTube at @TheRealEstateDealRoom, where we break down real estate, mortgages, and market conversations in a way that actually makes sense.
