- This Could "Break" the Housing System as We Know It
This could break the mortgage system as we know it. But, is it worth it?
New “portable mortgages” have been floated by the Trump Administration and FHFA (Federal Housing Finance Agency), allowing homeowners to take their rock-bottom mortgage rates with them when they purchase a new home. The question is: will it work?
We’re breaking down the likelihood of portable mortgages, how they currently work in countries like Canada, and the pros and cons for the average American. Most people are thinking about the upsides of a portable mortgage, but the downsides are equally severe. Would this really make sense in America?
Dave is doing a deep dive into how the U.S. mortgage system works and whether new portable mortgages could break it, leading to the downfall of arguably the greatest home loan on the planet—the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. Plus, how much more could it cost you to take out one of these portable loans?
In This Episode We Cover
Portable mortgages explained and how they actually work in countries like Canada
How portable mortgages could “break” the fragile home loan system in the U.S.
Pros and cons of portable mortgages that could help or hurt many Americans
Increased fees, mortgage rates, and prepayment penalties? Why nobody is talking about the side effects of portable mortgages
Does Dave think this is a good idea? (strong opinion warning)
And So Much More!

29 min - Keep Your 3% Rate Forever? “Portable” Mortgages Could Be Coming
What if you could transfer your 3% mortgage rate to a new property? It could be possible in the near future. A new type of home loan would allow borrowers to move their mortgage rate when they sell and buy a new property, effectively ending the “lock-in effect” plaguing the housing market. Could a loan like this really come to fruition?
We’re back on another headline episode, touching on real estate’s top stories that you need to hear to invest better than the masses.
First, we’re talking about “portable mortgages,” another push for affordability from the Trump administration. You may be able to transfer your low rate…but for how long? Then, we touch on the real reason the housing market is stuck in purgatory, and the only way we’ll bounce back.
Is this the fall of house flipping? James goes public (front-page news!) with a six-figure loss and shares the truth about how hard it is to flip houses right now. Finally, we answer the question every 13-28-year-old is asking: Is Gen Z screwed? With a tanking job market, there’s only one way for them to survive…
In This Episode We Cover
New “portable” mortgage potential that could let you take your rate to a new home
The fall of house flipping? Why even James is struggling to make a profit
A shocking statistic about the average homeowner (why the housing market is stuck)
No more trust funds: why “home inheritance” is becoming the new normal
Gen Z can’t find jobs: here’s what they should be doing instead

34 min - Flat Home Prices “Mirror” 1990s: Small Multifamily Bound for Major Upswing
Another year is nearly in the books. The 2025 housing market was largely defined by construction oversupply, sluggish rent growth, flat home prices, and widespread turbulence, with residential real estate moving far more slowly than anticipated and commercial real estate all but grinding to a halt.
Yet it appears we’ve reached the bottom, and the silver lining is clear: real estate is still ripe with opportunity for investors who are willing to play the long game.
Today, Brian Burke returns to the show to share where investors should be directing their attention in 2026. Perhaps unsurprisingly, one asset class continues to deliver for investors who are intent on building long-term wealth with real estate. And Brian believes we may be entering a period that could mirror the early 1990s, where the wisest move is to slowly accumulate these assets before the next wave of appreciation.
Slower rent growth might keep otherwise great assets from paying off in year one, but those who persevere through a “season of patience” stand to be rewarded when it really counts: 5 or 10 years from now.
In This Episode We Cover
Forecasting new construction, home prices, and mortgage rates in 2026
Why a period mirroring the early 1990s could be followed by a 2000s-style boom
The roadmap for building generational wealth with small multifamily properties
Why investors should focus on asset accumulation in a “season of patience”
The asset Brian believes is the biggest “bright spot” in a tough housing market
The benefits and potential dangers of the controversial 50-year mortgage

35 min - Trump Floats 50-Year Mortgages: Cash Flow Boost or Affordability Illusion?
50-year mortgages could be coming sooner than we expected. This week, President Trump announced on social media the possibility of longer mortgage terms hitting the housing market. Extending the standard 30-year fixed-rate mortgage to 50 years will have massive implications for home prices, affordability, and cash flow for rental property investors.
The question is: Will it actually happen? And if it does, how would these new mortgage rules affect your returns on real estate?
We did the math, comparing a 30-year mortgage vs. a 50-year mortgage to see which gives you bigger (total) returns and builds your wealth faster. The cash flow differences are notable and could mark significant improvements for landlords, but one drawback could be so great that investors turn away from this new mortgage entirely.
Dave gives the pros and cons, shares what housing market experts are concerned about, and answers the question: Would he use a 50-year mortgage if given the option?
In This Episode We Cover
Trump’s new 50-year mortgage proposal that could change the housing market
30-year vs. 50-year mortgage returns on rental properties (cash flow, amortization, total returns)
Why one outspoken housing expert is growing concerned about the support for 50-year mortgages
One massive tradeoff that most Americans aren’t aware of when using a longer mortgage period
Is a 50-year mortgage even…legal? What the current mortgage regulations say is and isn’t allowed

31 min - New Recession Indicator Shows Americans Worse Off Than We Thought
The United States is on the brink of a recession, according to major multinational bank UBS. Meanwhile, America’s largest bank, JPMorgan Chase, says recession risk is only at 40%. Who’s right? Who’s wrong? We’re using a new recession indicator in this episode to reveal America’s real risk of sliding into another downturn.
If it feels like your dollar doesn’t go as far as it used to and your salary is barely keeping up—you’re not imagining it.
But according to official sources, America has only been in a recession for three months since the Great Financial Crisis. That can’t be right when it’s getting this hard to get by. That’s why, in this episode, Dave shares his new recession indicator, based on the average American’s finances, to measure the financial health of real Americans, not what corporate earnings reports suggest.
Looking back, the economic data doesn’t fit the official narrative. And if you feel like you’ve been in a recession for years, you might be right. But you can still protect (and grow) your wealth while the economy falters. Are your investments keeping your real wealth afloat?
In This Episode We Cover
The new “recession indicator” that forecasts whether average Americans will struggle or not
Recession predictions from top banks and whether we’re on the precipice of a crisis
Why the standard definition of a “recession” is wrong and ignores average Americans
The alarming statistic that shows just how much of your spending power has been eaten away
How to recession-proof your finances and invest so you can weather economic storms
And So Much More!

26 min - Housing Demand Grows as 10 Major Cities See Price Drops
The housing market is seeing a (surprisingly) positive trend. Yes, even with all those YouTube channels showing you “empty” houses, it seems that homebuyers, especially millennials, are getting back into the game. This is excellent news for agents, lenders, title companies, sellers, and flippers. So, what’s the “positive” trend we’re seeing?
We’re back with another headline episode to get you up to date on the housing market in just around half an hour. First, new data points to housing demand increasing as mortgage rates stay away from their 7%+ highs. Is there a path to 5% interest rates in the near future? Yes, but the road to it won’t be pretty. Here’s what would have to happen for us to get there.
Can you guess the top 10 cities with the largest price drops in the US? We’re sharing the complete list in this episode, with some surprising cities near the top. Finally, we’ll discuss the massive layoffs from tech, including Amazon’s recent firing of over 10,000 well-paid employees. If you live in an area where these layoffs are happening, the market could see a noticeable shift.
In This Episode We Cover
Why housing demand is actually going up while economic optimism is going down
A 5% interest rate future? What actually has to happen for us to get there

33 min - Why Mortgage Rates are Rising as the Fed Keeps Cutting
The Fed cuts rates, and mortgage rates go up. Then they do it again, and rates…go back up. How does this keep happening? Has the Fed lost complete control over mortgage rates?
The Fed has now cut rates twice in 2025, and we’re hovering around the same (if not slightly higher) mortgage rates as before the first cut. After last week’s rate cut announcement, investors were surprised to see that mortgages—once again—got even more expensive. But it’s not because of what the Fed did—it was because of what they said, potentially foreshadowing a slower, longer path back to 5% mortgage rates.
Dave is on to explain why mortgage rates moved in the opposite direction, why we could be stuck with higher mortgage rates for longer, and the two things that need to happen for mortgage rates to break back into the 5% range. Plus, he’ll share three realistic scenarios that could cause rates to move in different directions and what could trigger each.
In This Episode We Cover
The Fed meeting announcement explained and why mortgage rates went up
The real reason why we’re not seeing mortgage rates fall below 6%
Alarming corporate layoffs and whether this is a warning sign for the entire economy
Some good/bad news about inflation and the cities that are faring the worst
Three likely mortgage rate scenarios that could send rates in different directions, without the Fed making moves

33 min - New Zillow Forecast: Best and Worst Housing Markets of 2026
The national housing correction is here but your results will be decided locally. Some markets are cooling gently, others are slipping fast, and a few affordable metros are still running warm. So where does that leave buy-and-hold, flips, STRs, and BRRRRs? We map the dramatic regional split, Midwest/Northeast steadier, Gulf Coast/Texas under pressure, and show how to match your strategy to on-the-ground realities like inventory, rent growth, and affordability.
You’ll hear why “flat prices + rising rents” can be a green light for cash flow, when to take a calculated swing in oversold-but-strong-fundamentals cities (think Austin/Nashville/Dallas), and where supply and insurance costs are pushing deeper discounts (hello, Florida). We also dig into metro-level forecasts into 2026 and why your underwriting should look different in Milwaukee than in Miami.
In This Episode We Cover
Local > national: why the same correction looks totally different by region and price tier
Affordability & supply: the two signals driving winners and laggards (and how to measure both)
Hottest vs. coolest markets: where buyers have leverage and where demand still pops
Rents vs. prices: pairing flat/declining prices with rising rents to improve cash flow
Risk-on vs. risk-off playbooks: conservative buy boxes vs. opportunistic dips in strong cities
Flipping in a slowdown: wider spreads, longer days-on-market, how to price and pace
Forecasts into 2026: what recent metro projections imply for your next 3 - 12 months of deals
Hold or sell? Handling “paper losses,” market selection, and underwriting for a slower cycle
