Cleve Loveland and Bruce Woodburn, The Loan Arranger, are back on The Loveland Report & Loan Arranger Show breaking down what today’s buyers and sellers really need to know. From competing with new construction to setting yourself up for maximum resale value the day you buy, this episode is packed with practical, Central Florida–focused strategies you can use right now—whether you’re a first-time buyer, a move-up seller, or an investor planning for 2025–2026. Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why sales are up nationwide—and why Central Florida is outperforming the rest of the country
• How to “bake in” resale value the day you buy (waterfront, views, floor plans, and smart upgrades)
• New construction vs resale: why builders are winning on affordability with rate buydowns and closing cost credits
• How sellers can actually compete with builders using closing cost strategies and interest rate buydowns
• Real-world listing examples: great buys, homes that need polish, and how to think about “project” houses
• Current rate talk: where 30-year fixed rates are landing and what the upcoming Fed cut really means
• The holiday money trap: overspending, car payments, and why debt is the enemy of wealth
• Using equity wisely: HELOCs, debt consolidation, and leveraging 100% financing on investment properties
• Long-term wealth strategies: 1031 exchanges, rental property game plans, and the Leapfrog program
• Reverse mortgages: when they’re a smart retirement tool—and when they’re not the right fit
• Estate and legacy planning: why you need a trust if you own property and want to protect your family
• Why helping adult children and grandchildren buy a home is better than leaving them cash later
• Builder partners, special incentives, and how Bruce’s Builder Flex program helps small and mid-size builders compete
