In this powerful Thanksgiving episode of The Loan Arranger Radio Show, Bruce Woodburn from CrossCountry Mortgage breaks down the most common challenges facing today’s homebuyers, homeowners, and retirees — from affordability concerns to refinancing confusion to reverse mortgage misinformation. Bruce pulls back the curtain on today’s rate environment, the bond market, and the programs most banks won’t tell you about. He also shares personal stories, real client examples, and the mindset shifts that help families build generational wealth through real estate. Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

• How first-time buyers can break through affordability challenges with zero-down and low-down programs
• What to do if you're “golden handcuffed” to a 3% rate but need to move
• How to calculate your refinance break-even point in under 10 seconds
• The truth about reverse mortgages — who they're for, who they're not for, and why big-box lenders oversell them
• Asset-based, DSCR, bank-statement, USDA, and VA loans explained in plain English
• Why waiting for 4–5% rates again could cost you tens of thousands over time
• A shocking short-sale story and why choosing the wrong lender or agent can derail your entire transaction
• A market insight segment with Cleve Loveland — price trends, rate expectations, and 2026 forecasts
• A personal message from Bruce on overcoming hardship, building wealth, and getting your finances right for the future

In this powerful episode of The Loan Arranger Radio Show, Bruce Woodburn breaks down the real story behind interest rates, refinancing strategy, and the political proposals dominating the news — including 50-year mortgages, portability, and eliminating property taxes. Bruce gives straight-shooting, real-world guidance on whether to refinance now, how the bond market truly works, and why buyers still hold major advantages in today’s market. He also dives into rental wealth-building, family financial planning, VA/FHA pitfalls, and why trusting big-box lenders leads to costly mistakes. Whether you’re buying, refinancing, or advising your adult children, this episode is packed with clarity, numbers, and actionable strategy. What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why rates went up after the Fed cut — and what the bond market is signaling now.
• Refinancing reality check: how Bruce calculates break-even, why he rejects 50% of refi requests, and why December is the smartest refi month.
• 50-year mortgages, portability & political affordability plans: what’s real, what’s unlikely, and what actually helps buyers qualify.
• Buyer strategy: why today’s market favors buyers, how to negotiate closing costs, and why you should buy before rates drop.
• Stop renting, start building wealth: how leapfrogging into properties and owning rentals changes retirement.
• Fannie Mae’s new credit score rule: how removing the 620 minimum works — and why FHA still wins for lower-score buyers.

Bruce Woodburn, The Loan Arranger, breaks down why real estate is still the easiest path to wealth, even in a 6% interest rate world. He explains what the Fed’s moves actually did to mortgage rates, when refinancing makes real financial sense, how Zillow’s business model led to lawsuits, and why self-employed borrowers and investors have more options than their bank is telling them. What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• How a simple 4% appreciation on a $400,000 home can equal over $1,300/month in “hidden” wealth—and why there’s no such thing as a rich renter.
• The reality of today’s interest rates after the Fed cut, why 5% may not be coming anytime soon, and how that impacts refinance decisions.
• A clear explanation of points, bond pricing, and breakeven math—including why passing on a $200–$250/month savings could cost you tens of thousands over time.
• The inside story on Zillow’s lead machine, steering allegations, and lawsuits, plus Bruce’s alternative: his handpicked-agent Real Estate Rebate Program that can give buyers up to $10,000 back.
• Smart strategies for FHA, VA, and conventional refinances, including skipping holiday payments, handling escrow shortages, and timing a year-end refi.
• Powerful loan options for self-employed and investors—bank-statement loans, DSCR loans, and how to qualify based on deposits or rental income instead of tax returns.
