In this hilarious mini-episode, I sit down with my daughters Mary-Kate (10) and ZuZu (8) and ask them to explain what a “mortgage” is. Spoiler: they actually get a few right! Zero financial advice, 100% chaos and cuteness. Perfect listen for your commute! 🏠😂

Ep. #3 Mortgage Descriptions From My Kids

Welcome to HomeBuying Made Easy – the podcast that turns the confusing, stressful, and often intimidating home-buying process into something straightforward, predictable, and yes… actually easy.

Hosted by mortgage industry expert Michael Dendy, this show is built for:

▫️First-time home buyers who feel overwhelmed by credit scores, down payments, and closing costs
▫️Veterans and active-duty military ready to unlock the full power of their hard-earned VA loan benefits (including $0 down and no PMI – ever)
▫️Move-up buyers shopping for their second home or vacation property
Real-estate investors looking for rental properties, fix-and-flips, or BRRRR strategies
▫️Anyone who’s tired of generic advice and wants the real-world shortcuts the big banks and “gurus” never tell you about

Every Monday and Friday, Michael pulls back the curtain on today’s mortgage and real-estate landscape in short episodes that are truly digestible. You’ll discover:

How to buy a home with little or no money down – even if you’re not a veteran
The truth about VA loans in 2025–2026 (and the little-known rules that can save you tens of thousands)
Exactly what credit score you really need (hint: it’s lower than you think)
How to negotiate closing costs and get sellers or lenders to pay them
Investment property financing hacks – 5–10% down deals that most loan officers swear don’t exist
Second-home vs. investment property: the one decision that can save you $50k–$100k+ in taxes and interest
Rate-lock strategies, buydowns, lender credits, and the questions that force lenders to compete for your business
Step-by-step closing timelines so you never get blindsided again

No fluff. No sponsored fluff segments. Just advice from an on-the-ground mortgage expert distilled into actionable episodes you can listen to on your commute or while walking the dog.
Whether you’re buying your first condo, your family’s forever home, a lake house, or your tenth rental property, HomeBuying Made Easy gives you the confidence, the checklist, and the insider knowledge to win in any market.
