Listen Later

Think housing is already unaffordable? What if the changes coming next actually make things worse for the average buyer, but better for smart investors?

In this episode, Rich Lennon breaks down the biggest housing affordability shifts being discussed for 2026, including 50-year mortgages, portable loans, and even no-credit financing. He explains what these changes really mean for everyday buyers, why some of them are dangerous, and how investors can position themselves to win as the market reshapes. If you want to stay ahead instead of getting blindsided, this one’s a must.
