A client called Ryan two months ago, excited about his first rental deal. Duplex in Ohio, $250,000 purchase price, $260,000 in savings ready to go. His plan was to pay all cash, then refinance into a DSCR loan six months later to pull the money back out. Ryan told him to stop. That plan was going to cost him $28,000 he'd never get back.
In this episode, Ryan breaks down why DSCR loans are not just refinance products, and why the advice you keep hearing online (buy in cash, then refinance) is wrong for most first-time rental investors. He walks through the two real paths for buying your first rental, when each one actually wins, and a real client comparison that shows how one investor scaled to a second property in four months while the other stayed stuck on his first deal a full year later.
The episode covers the four numbers every investor has to run before committing to either strategy: DSCR ratio, loan-to-value, reserves at closing, and the seasoning period. Ryan also reveals the delayed financing trick that lets cash buyers get 75-80% of their money back sooner than the standard 6-month wait, plus the framework rule that decides which path is right for your specific deal.
The right question is not cash or DSCR. The right question is how much of your capital you actually need to put into this deal.
You saw the viral video about a $250 mortgage trick that drops your monthly payment by $500. You called your lender to set it up on your rental property. They told you no. Then they hung up. Every loan on your portfolio was disqualified from the recast. Nobody told you why.
In this episode, Ryan breaks down exactly why the mortgage recasting trick does not work on rental property loans. Recasting is a conventional loan feature governed by the guidelines of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. DSCR loans, non-QM loans, bank statement loans, and portfolio loans do not follow those rules. Most do not offer recasting at all. If your broker mostly does owner-occupied loans, they are giving you conventional advice on a non-QM loan, and it is costing you.
He walks through the four things you CAN do: principal curtailment with a payoff strategy, strategic refinance when the math supports it, interest-only restructures for narrow cases, and the rate buy-down move at your next refinance that permanently reduces your payment better than any recast.
The episode closes with the framework rule and portfolio audit process every landlord should run this week: pull your loan statements, list every rental loan by rate, balance, payment, and loan type, then rank them from worst to best.
The recasting video was designed for a homeowner with one mortgage on their primary residence. You are a landlord with a portfolio. The playbook is different.
Ten properties. Ten mortgages. Ten tenants paying every single month. Zero cash flow. That is not a real estate problem. It is a financing problem. And it is more common than most investors realize.
In this episode, Ryan breaks down the five financing decisions that silently kill rental cash flow: the rate trap, the LTV trap, the wrong product, the front-end and back-end mismatch, and the rate obsession that causes investors to optimize for the wrong thing. He also walks through how to calculate your own DSCR ratio, the same number lenders run on you, and why running it on your own portfolio is the single most important diagnostic tool you are probably not using.
The episode closes with a step-by-step portfolio audit: how to pull your loan statements, rank every property by DSCR, identify your refinance candidates, and decide whether a new loan at today's rates actually improves your cash flow long term.
Do not buy property 11 until you fix the financing on the ones you already own.
You finished the rehab. The property is rented. You call your lender to refinance into a DSCR loan, and they tell you that you have to bring $15,000 to the closing table out of your own pocket.
This is how it happens.
In this episode, Ryan breaks down the real difference between hard money loans and fix-and-flip loans, why the choice on the front end directly affects your ability to refinance into DSCR on the back end, and how to run the math before you ever borrow a dollar. He also shares why Zillow will lie to you about rents, how to stress-test your numbers with 5, 10, and 15 percent drops, and the four steps every investor should follow before signing a loan.
Plan your exit before your entry.
A client of mine just lost a real estate deal because he skipped a $500 inspection and went straight to the appraisal. The appraisal came back subject to, the lender stopped the loan, and now nobody wants to pay for the repairs.
In this episode, Ryan breaks down what a subject-to appraisal actually means, the common items that trigger one, and why the inspection would have given the investor full leverage to fix, negotiate, or walk away clean. Ryan also walks through the right order of operations for every investment property deal, so nothing surprises you at the closing table.
The inspection is not a contingency. It is the best $500 you will ever spend.
Most real estate investors form an LLC, thinking it creates a wall between them and their lender. It doesn't.
In this episode, Ryan breaks down the reality of personal guarantees on DSCR loans, what they mean, why every lender requires them, and what your LLC actually does and doesn't protect you from. You'll also get the three questions every investor needs to ask before signing a mortgage contract, and a straight answer on whether non-recourse DSCR loans are worth the trade-off.
If you've ever closed a deal in your LLC and assumed you weren't personally on the hook, this episode is for you.
Topics covered:
- The LLC myth: what investors get wrong about personal protection
- What a personal guarantee actually means in plain English
- Why DSCR lenders require a personal guarantee even on no-income-doc loans
- What happens when your DSCR loan gets sold in the secondary market
- Non-recourse DSCR loans: the real cost of skipping the personal guarantee
- Three questions to ask your lender before you sign anything

Most investors get rejected for a DSCR loan, not because they picked the wrong property, but because no one told them the exact numbers lenders look for before they applied. In this video, I break down all 5 DSCR loan requirements for 2026: the exact credit score, down payment, DSCR ratio, property types, and reserves you need to be approved for.
What you will learn:✅ The minimum DSCR ratio most lenders require (and what happens below 1.0)✅ Why Zillow rent estimates get deals killed at underwriting✅ Exact credit score tiers and how they affect your rate✅ Down payment requirements by property type (SFR, 2 to 4 units, short-term rentals)✅ How much in reserves do you need in the bank before closing✅ What Form 1007 is and why it controls your deal
Credit repair is not just a personal finance topic. If you want to use DSCR loans to scale your real estate portfolio, it is the first step, not an afterthought.
In this episode, I break down exactly why your personal credit score determines whether a DSCR loan will work for you at all. Your credit score determines your rate. Your rate determines your cash flow. And your cash flow determines whether the deal makes you money or costs you money.
I am also sharing something personal. My own credit took a hit from an ongoing business debt issue that has lasted over 18 months. I am currently working with Freedom Debt Relief to get it settled and cleaned up. Yes, that means a temporary hit to my credit bureau for six to twelve months. But the alternative is staying stuck, paying 20 to 22 percent interest on deals that should never have gotten that expensive in the first place.
This episode is for the investor who keeps getting told to leverage up and buy more without anyone explaining that personal debt is the actual gatekeeper to every DSCR loan you will ever try to close.
In this episode:
— Why personal debt determines your DSCR rate before you ever submit an application
— The credit score thresholds DSCR lenders actually require, from 600 to 720 and above
— How to use the Experian mortgage credit score to see where you really stand
— The debt snowball method and how to actually pay off personal debt that is holding you back
— Why a 1.25 DSCR ratio is the target in every market condition, good, bad, and crappy
— How to stress test rents using 10, 20, and 30 percent reduction scenarios
— My own credit repair journey and why I chose debt settlement over the snowball method
— The financial freedom sequence every investor needs to follow before chasing more properties

DSCR loan explained simply. You see a higher DSCR rate and walk away from the deal. That is the mistake costing investors thousands in lost opportunity every single year.
In this episode, I break down exactly why DSCR rates are higher than conventional loans, what you are actually paying for, and why that higher rate is often worth every single penny for the investor who wants to scale.
If you are buying two or three properties, conventional all day long. Better rate, lower fees, done. But the moment you want to scale past four properties, the moment your DTI caps you out, the moment you need a loan that looks at the asset, not your W-2, DSCR is the only tool that makes sense.
In this episode:
— Why DSCR rates are higher and what risk the lender is actually taking— DSCR vs conventional loans broken down side by side with real numbers— Why DSCR loans have no scaling cap and conventional loans do— The 1.25 DSCR ratio threshold and why going below it is a deal killer— How your credit score impacts your rate by 25 to 100 basis points— Why DSCR loans closed in an LLC do not report to your credit bureau— The underwriting fee range you should expect and which lenders are overcharging— Three questions you must ask every DSCR broker before you commit

DSCR refinance deals do not fail by accident. They fail because nobody stress-tested the numbers before the hard money loan was signed.
In this episode, I break down a real Cleveland duplex deal. The investor maxed their hard money at 75% LTV. Appraisal came in $15,000 light. Reconsideration of value failed. Now their only exit is a sale. No DSCR refinance. No cash out. No options left.
This is happening right now in markets across the country. If you are using hard money or bridge loans to fund your fix-and-flip or buy-and-hold deals, this episode is both your warning and your roadmap.
In this episode:
— Why 75% LTV kills your DSCR refinance before it starts
— How a $15,000 appraisal miss wipes out every exit strategy
— The 15 to 20% fudge factor every investor needs in their budget
— Why you should never go above 65% LTV on any investment property loan
— How to stress test your ARV before you sign anything
— What to do when your comps do not match your lender's appraisal
— Why multiple exit strategies are never optional

Every DSCR loan estimate looks different, and most investors have no idea why. That gap costs them thousands at the closing table.
In this episode of the Chasing Financial Freedom Podcast, I break down a DSCR loan estimate box by box, Box A through Box J, with zero filter and no agenda. I show you exactly which fees your lender or broker actually controls, which ones are fixed costs of doing business, and the one shady trick some loan officers use to look cheap on paper until you're sitting at closing. After 110 deals closed in the last 24 months with only 2 lost, I've seen every version of this document, and most investors are reading it completely wrong.
Hard money to DSCR is one of the most common exit strategies in real estate investing and one of the most misunderstood. Most investors don't realize the mistake until they're already sitting at the closing table with a surprise they didn't budget for.
In this episode of the Chasing Financial Freedom Podcast, I break down exactly where investors go wrong when refinancing a hard money loan into a DSCR loan, including a real deal case study that went completely sideways. If you're holding hard money right now, don't schedule that refi until you watch this.
📅 Have a deal in play? Let's walk through your numbers before you make a costly mistake.

You thought your DSCR hit 1.25, your credit was clean, and your cash in the bank was enough, but your lender still said you did not have the reserves to close. This episode breaks down the 1 percent of outstanding balance rule that DSCR lenders quietly apply to your entire portfolio, including your primary residence, and how that hidden requirement can stall or kill a deal when you are already deep into the process. You will learn how the reserve math really works, what counts as liquid, and the exact questions to ask your broker or lender so you are never blindsided by underwriting again. If it does not hit 1.25, it is not a deal. It is a donation.
The credit score on your phone right now is almost certainly not the score your mortgage lender is going to use, and that gap can cost you a better rate, a cleaner approval, or the entire deal. In this episode, Ryan breaks down the difference between consumer scores and mortgage FICO scores, explains the middle score rule most investors have never heard of, walks through the three active trade line requirements, and shares a real investor story where 60 points disappeared during a renovation and almost killed a $70,000 cash-out refinance. Come in prepared with the right number, or you are not coming in at all. If it does not hit 1.25, it is not a deal. It is a donation.
Most investors start with their local bank because the rate is better. Then the DTI Avalanche hits at property three, four, or five, and the regret starts. In this episode of Chasing Financial Freedom, Ryan DeMent walks through exactly why local bank financing becomes a ceiling for scaling investors, how stacking properties on your personal credit quietly destroys your ability to grow and buy your own home, and what guardrails every investor needs before signing any financing. From LLC titling and personal guarantees to autopay transfers, prepayment penalties, and conservative rent comps in a softening market, this episode gives you the full picture so your next financing decision is built on strategy, not just the lowest rate on the page.
Most investors lose their deals not at the closing table but at the keyboard, where spreadsheet math, unverified rent comps, and the myth of low-rate high-leverage financing build a false picture of a deal that was never really there. In this episode of Chasing Financial Freedom, Ryan DeMent walks through a real investor call where a projected DSCR of 1.35 collapsed to 1.09 once realistic numbers were applied, and explains exactly why loan-to-value and interest rates always move in opposite directions on DSCR loans. If you are serious about building a cash-flowing portfolio and tired of deals dying at the finish line, this episode will help you stop trusting the spreadsheet and start underwriting like the lender who is about to approve or deny your loan.
Your local bank will happily close your first investment loan, but what they will not tell you is that the loan could make your next deal nearly impossible to finance. In this episode of Chasing Financial Freedom, Ryan DeMent walks through the real differences between DSCR loans and conventional bank financing, including how investment loans on your personal credit affect your DTI, what questions to ask both types of lenders before you commit, why 1.25 is the minimum DSCR ratio worth pursuing in today's compressed rent markets, and how to use both lenders as tools rather than choosing one and hoping for the best. If you are serious about building a real estate portfolio and nobody has walked you through this side-by-side comparison yet, this episode will change how you approach every financing decision going forward.
Your DSCR loan will more than likely be sold to a new lender — and when it is, it could show up on your personal credit report even if you've never missed a single payment. In this episode, Ryan walks through a real investor situation, breaks down your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and gives you the exact steps to dispute errors and protect your credit before your next deal.

DSCR loan investors, stop right here — because these three mistakes are killing deals before they ever close.
Most investors don't realize their personal finances are still on the hook, that a 1.0 DSCR ratio will get you rejected at closing, or that high leverage at 90-95% quietly destroys the cash flow they were counting on. Ryan DeMent is a mortgage broker who has closed hundreds of DSCR loan deals — and in this episode, he breaks down the exact three mistakes he sees over and over again, with real case studies, hard numbers, and zero sugarcoating.
If you're comparing DSCR loans to conventional loans, this is the episode you need before you sign anything.
DSCR loan denied? It probably wasn't your credit score. It was the Breakeven Lie — and it's killing deals every single week.As a mortgage broker who has closed hundreds of DSCR loans, I watch investors fall for this trap constantly. They run the napkin math, the numbers look fine at 1.0 DSCR, and then a week before closing, the deal dies. Appraisal done. Inspection done. Money spent. And the deal is gone.Here's the truth nobody is telling you: a 1.0 DSCR ratio is an automatic fail in my book. It means your property barely breaks even — and lenders know it. The real target is 1.25 or higher. That's the Golden Ratio. That's the number that gets deals done, generates real cash flow, and builds a portfolio that actually lasts.In this episode, I break down exactly how lenders calculate DSCR — not the way most investors think, but the way underwriters actually run it. If you're using DSCR loans to build your real estate portfolio, this is the episode you can't afford to skip.
🔑 The Real DSCR Formula (Lender's Version):DSCR = (Gross Monthly Rent × Vacancy Adjustment) ÷ Full PITI + HOAYour goal isn't 1.0. Your goal is 1.25 or higher — every single time.💬 "You're in the business to make money. Make sure every property you add to your portfolio is a true cash-flowing machine from day one. That's how you build a real estate empire that lasts." — Ryan DeMent🎙️ About the Chasing Financial Freedom Podcast:This channel helps real estate investors and entrepreneurs use DSCR loans, smart financing, and proven strategies to build long-term financial freedom. Hosted by Ryan DeMent — licensed mortgage broker, real estate investor, and DSCR loan specialist.
On paper your DSCR is 1.25+, but the lender’s underwriter comes back with a ratio under 1.0 and your “perfect” deal dies right before closing. In this episode of Chasing Financial Freedom, Ryan DeMent breaks down how DSCR is really calculated—using conservative appraiser rent (1007), true PITI, and vacancy/expense assumptions—and why relying on hopeful rents and rough estimates keeps getting investors denied after they’ve already paid for inspections and appraisals. You’ll learn how to pull realistic rent comps, stress-test expenses, choose the right DSCR lender, and package your deal like a pro so you only pursue properties that will actually get funded instead of spreadsheet fantasies.
You’ve got a great multifamily deal lined up—but your tax returns, DTI, or “10‑property” limit kill the loan before it starts. In this episode of Chasing Financial Freedom, Ryan DeMent explains how DSCR loans work for multifamily investors, how lenders actually calculate DSCR using NOI and full PITI, what ratios they want to see, and why your credit score, down payment, and reserves still matter even when they ignore your W‑2s and tax returns. You’ll also hear the key pros and cons—higher rates and prepayment penalties versus speed, scalability, and LLC vesting—so you can decide when a DSCR loan is the right tool for your next multifamily purchase and when conventional financing will serve you better.
DSCR loans are powerful tools for scaling a rental portfolio—but they’re also blowing up thousands of deals right before closing. In this episode of Chasing Financial Freedom, Ryan DeMent breaks down three of the biggest DSCR myths: that your personal finances don’t matter, that a 1.0 DSCR guarantees approval, and that you can calculate DSCR using simple gross rent ÷ mortgage math. You’ll learn what lenders actually look for (credit score, reserves, real DSCR thresholds, and NOI-based calculations with full PITI, vacancy, and conservative market rent) so you can underwrite deals like a pro, avoid last‑minute denials, and only spend time and money on properties that will truly get funded.
Most investors obsess over getting the lowest DSCR rate and end up paying more once you factor in points, prepayment penalties, and junk fees. In this episode of Chasing Financial Freedom, Ryan DeMent walks through five critical red flags hiding inside DSCR loan offers: bad rate‑plus‑points tradeoffs, prepayment penalties that don’t match your hold strategy, inflated or bogus fees, sloppy DSCR calculations, and the mistake of only getting one quote. If you’re using DSCR loans to build your rental portfolio, this episode will show you how to read loan estimates like a pro, compare offers apples‑to‑apples, and choose the deal that truly costs less over the life of your investment, not just the one with the prettiest rate on the page.
You don’t need perfect W‑2s or flawless tax returns to build a rental portfolio—but you do need to understand how DSCR loans really work. In this episode of Chasing Financial Freedom, Ryan DeMent explains what DSCR is, why it’s a game-changer for self‑employed and write‑off‑heavy investors, and how to use three key strategies—better deal structure, CEO‑level NOI management, and BRRRR/portfolio refinancing—to protect cash flow, avoid prepayment traps, and scale beyond what your local bank will allow. If you’re tired of hearing “no” from conventional lenders, this playbook will show you how to analyze and structure your next DSCR deal like a pro.
Most real estate investors use DSCR loans, but very few know how to tweak them to actually protect cash flow and avoid painful surprises. In this episode of Chasing Financial Freedom, Ryan DeMent breaks down 3 secret DSCR loan hacks: underwriting deals with conservative rents so your DSCR holds up when the market shifts, using structure (LTV, DSCR bands, reserves) to improve pricing instead of only chasing rate, and matching prepayment penalties to your real exit plan so you’re not writing a massive check when you sell or refi. If you’re scaling a rental portfolio with DSCR loans, this conversation will change how you analyze, structure, and lock your next deal.
When rents cool off, and your DSCR loan no longer pencils the way it did on paper, what’s your best move: conventional, DSCR, or something else? In this episode of Chasing Financial Freedom, Ryan DeMent breaks down the good, bad, and ugly of conventional vs. DSCR loans, how falling rents and tighter DSCR ratios are exposing weak deals, and what smart investors are doing now with reserves, prepayment penalties, and rent underwriting so they can keep scaling without blowing up their portfolio.
Many investors think a DSCR loan is a DSCR loan—until overlays, reserves, and prepayment penalties blow up their deal. In this episode of Chasing Financial Freedom, Ryan DeMent breaks down the key differences between local bank “DSCR-style” portfolio loans and true non-QM DSCR lenders, how overlays work in the real world (housing history, VOR, first-time investors), and what you must know about reserves and long-lasting prepayment penalties before you sign. If you use DSCR loans to scale your rental portfolio, this conversation will help you avoid costly surprises and choose the right lender structure for your strategy.
Buying an "as-is" property with a DSCR loan? Skipping this step doesn't just cost you $40k in repairs—it can disqualify you from Section 8 and kill your cash flow.
In this episode, I break down a real-life nightmare scenario where an investor skipped the inspection on an off-market deal, only to face huge repair bills to meet lender standards. We discuss why DSCR lenders reject "C5" properties, the hidden trap of "double closing costs" with bridge loans, and why a 1.0 DSCR ratio actually means you're losing money.

This episode is for real estate investors who feel stuck because banks cap them at one or two properties, and their debt-to-income ratio kills further approvals. Ryan walks through how DSCR loans underwrite cash-flowing rentals instead of your W2, how to avoid low DSCR and appraisal traps, and when to use non-QM DSCR loans instead of conventional financing so you can safely own three solid doors instead of being stuck with one.
Real estate investors using or considering DSCR loans who worry about appraisals blowing up their deals will learn how value, comps, and rent estimates really impact approvals and refis. Ryan breaks down why every strategy—DSCR loans, bank financing, cash purchases, and 1031 exchanges—still depends on appraisals, and how understanding comps, rental neighborhoods, and the 1007 rent schedule can help you price deals correctly, protect your DSCR ratio, and avoid letting low appraisals kill your next investment.
Real estate investors planning 2026 financing who are torn between DSCR loans, local banks, or cash will learn how each option affects approvals, portfolio caps, and personal DTI. You’ll hear what DSCR lenders actually require, how they compare to banks on speed and paperwork, how cash plus delayed financing impacts scaling, and what to consider with prepayment penalties and working with a broker who can shop 200+ lenders.
If you’re winding down 2025 and didn’t hit your DSCR goals, you’re not alone. In this episode of Chasing Financial Freedom, Ryan talks about why so many investors and wholesalers shut down the last 4–6 weeks of the year—and how that decision quietly puts them weeks or even months behind when 2026 starts.
He breaks down real DSCR timelines from current deals, why most new contracts in late December won’t close until January anyway, and how to use that gap to your advantage by putting deals under contract now, ordering appraisals, and lining up lenders so you open the year with momentum instead of trying to restart a cold engine.
You’ll also hear why deal flow = revenue = profit, what happens to investors who go dark until March, and how Ryan is approaching 2026 differently—expanding from 1–4 unit DSCR loans into 5–8 units and apartments, and building a bigger team to serve more investors at a higher level.
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s worth pushing through the holidays or if you’re thinking about your own 2026 investing goals, this conversation will help you think more strategically about timing, financing, and growth.
If this episode helped you, follow the show, leave a rating or review, and share it with another investor who’s ready to stop coasting through December and start planning for 2026.
DSCR loans in 2026 may be the difference between growing your real estate portfolio and getting capped out by local banks. In this episode, Ryan breaks down how DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) loans let investors keep buying cash-flowing properties without blowing up their personal DTI, even as the market cools and lending tightens.
You’ll hear a clear refresher on what DSCR loans are, why they’re designed for investment properties and short‑term rentals, and the DSCR ratios you should aim for so you’re not stuck with a deal that doesn’t cash flow when hard money comes due. Ryan also talks about overestimating rents, the importance of your all‑in number, and why a DSCR below 1 is a red flag you should walk away from.
He shares real-time observations from the Phoenix market—longer days on market, repeated price reductions, and institutional landlords cutting rents on single‑family rentals—and what could happen if hedge funds start unloading properties in 2026. You’ll also hear why tech and AI will be a key edge for investors who want to analyze deals and markets faster.
If you’re serious about using DSCR loans to scale your investing in 2026, this conversation will help you think more clearly about financing, risk, and opportunity.

If you’re serious about growing a real rental portfolio and not just owning one or two doors, this episode gives you the playbook to move forward.

Ever feel like you're fighting an uphill battle with your to-do list? You're not alone.
The entrepreneurial journey demands more than just managing tasks—it requires leading them to completion with purpose and focus. Drawing from my experience managing properties 2,000 miles away, I've discovered that the difference between merely surviving and truly thriving comes down to how we approach our daily battles with productivity.
When we allow "loosey-goosey" approaches to project management, problems inevitably arise. The solution? Strategic follow-up without micromanaging. Creating prioritized task lists with clear timeframes transforms team performance and personal productivity alike. Think about it: just as you might ask your children, "Did you take out the trash? Did you make your bed?"—follow-up in business ensures accountability while showing you're engaged without hovering.
My productivity breakthrough came when I abandoned the triage mentality. Attempting to juggle multiple tasks simultaneously typically results in completing none effectively. Instead, focusing on one revenue-generating task until completion before moving to the next has dramatically improved my results. My system now includes evening documentation of tasks and morning prioritization when my mind is fresh. Combined with intentional distraction management—turning off notifications and creating dedicated focus time—this approach has transformed my daily experience from overwhelm to accomplishment.
Try conducting a time study to identify where your hours are actually going. How much time is consumed by emails, messages, and other distractions? Once you know, you can systematically reclaim your productive capacity and experience the freedom that comes from bringing meaningful tasks to completion.
What productivity system works best for you? I'd love to hear your strategies for winning the daily battle against distraction and overwhelm.

But that's not true! A budget is simply a plan for your money. And if you follow it correctly, it can actually help you make more money and save more money.

It's no secret that inflation is on the rise, and this is especially true for developing countries.
Inflation can have a devastating effect on your wealth if you're not prepared.
Owning physical assets is one of the best ways to protect yourself from high levels of inflation. By buying shares in a fractionalized real estate fund or investing in a portfolio of properties, you can ensure that your money is working hard to keep up with (or beat) inflation rates.

The cost of living in a home has risen 20% over the last several years.
Renting is an option, but it comes with its own set of challenges. For example, you don't have to worry about mortgage payments or repair costs, but if you want a sense of stability investing in a home may be the way to go.
If you're looking for a place that's affordable and offers more security than renting then buying might be your best bet. But before making any decisions on what type of housing to live in, make sure that you do your research and talk with professionals who can help guide you through this process.

I am going to break down everything that you need to know about the SPR. The SPR stands for Strategic Petroleum Reserve- a system of underground tanks that hold up to 700 million barrels of crude oil reserves, or around 13% of total U.S. consumption capacity, which are used in times when there are disruptions in supplies due to natural disasters or conflicts.
The President released 50 million barrels from the SPR and now we are being told the price of gasoline is going to decrease by almost a dollar in several weeks. The one key element that the government forgot to tell us is that the oil can only be released at a rate of 4.4 million barrels per day. That is roughly 6 days of usage at our current consumption of 18.19 million barrels.
Is this a song and dance or are we going to see long-term relief at the gas pump?

Infrastructure Bill: Borrow, Print, Spend. $31B Taken from Your Pockets
I know that most people don't have time for complicated topics. What am I talking about? The Infrastructure Bill of course! It's really just a way for Washington DC to borrow money from American citizens so they can spend it on their own projects. So let me break down what this bill actually does so you can understand why so many economists are up in arms over it.
Small business owners should be up in arms! The EIDL program is being rescinded and $31 Billion is being taken away from struggling small businesses. If you are in the process of obtaining an EIDL Loan or Advance it looks like they will honor those dollar amounts. But if you have not applied for either of these programs before the bill is signed then you will miss out on these programs.

Inflation is a scary and often misunderstood concept. But it's important to understand how it works - because inflation can make you poor! In this episode, I'll break down the basics of what inflation means, why it happens, and how to protect yourself from its effects.
Don't let Washington D.C. tell you how to think about your hard-earned money. Going to the grocery store or putting gas in your car is costing you MUCH more now of days! Inflation hurts all of us and especially those that are on fixed incomes. Please tune in you will not be disappointed.

What is Inflation?Inflation happens when the value of your money goes down - you can buy fewer goods and services with it now than before. Inflation is a natural result of having an economy that runs on currency instead of bartering or other methods that don't require currency.
How does inflation happen?Inflation happens when the government prints more money into circulation - too much money supply means that each unit (dollar, pound, euro) is worth less.
Inflation is a silent killer in the sense that it happens so gradually. Over such an extended period, we don't notice how much damage inflation causes to our standard of living until it has already happened. The problem with this lack of awareness about inflation is that we don't take actions to prevent the damage of inflation.

Did you know that the Infrastructure Bill is a threat to your retirement funds? I'm here to talk about the Infrastructure Bill. It's not just an infrastructure bill for roads and bridges. The real danger of this bill is how it affects our retirement funds - specifically self-directed IRAs. If passed, this bill will make sure that we take our hard-earned retirement funds and put them into another investment vehicle. Which will cause you and me to pay taxes up to 39.6%! This could be devastating to everyone who has planned their lives around their Self-Directed IRAs me. I'll show you the facts so you can decide for yourself!

In this episode, we'll take a deep dive into the effects of the eviction moratorium and how it screwed renters and landlords alike.
If you're a renter or landlord this podcast might be of interest to you. The Supreme Court just recently overturned the CDC Eviction Moratorium, which has, in turn, will cause more issues for the housing market in the coming months and years. While it sounds like a good idea on paper, there are some unintended consequences that we need to explore together before making decisions about what's best for us as individuals and as a society.
The Housing Market: Are We Going to Experience Another Bubble?
The housing market is a delicate balance of supply and demand. By overturning the eviction moratorium, the housing market could see between 2 million and 4 million families being evicted. The federal government had set aside over $50 Billion in rent assistance. The problem is simply this, the monies cannot get distributed and now renters and landlords alike will be affected.
Show Notes:
Why the overturned eviction moratorium may be too little, too late for both renters, landlords
While eviction filings are expected to ramp up, it is unclear how quickly already backlogged courts can process new filings, or how effective the remaining patchwork of state and local protections will be in keeping renters in place until they secure rent relief.

In this episode, I'm going to show you some of the most common ways that black swan events can disrupt and ruin your life. We're all familiar with the phrase "black swan theory", which was coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book The Black Swan. It refers to an event or occurrence that deviates beyond what is normally expected of a situation and has a major impact on its surroundings - often shocking those who were not expecting it. But what are they? And how do you get ready for them? Let me break down some things you should know about black swans before they happen to you!
Home Sales Rose for the Second Straight Month:
- Home sales rose for the second straight month but were barely higher than in July 2020.
- The inventory of homes at the end of July stood at 1.32 million, down 12% from a year ago, but that is a smaller annual decline than in recent months.
- The median price of an existing home sold in July was $359,900. That is a 17.8% increase compared with July 2020.

Housing Market Black Swan Bubbling:
- Record low-interest rates, historically tight inventories, and the COVID-19 pandemic pulling forward the flight from city centers to the suburbs have sparked an unprecedented rise in U.S. home prices.
- Home prices soared by a record 16.6% year over year in May, according to the national Case-Shiller index, and are now 38.1% above their 2006 peak.
- Home prices soared by a record 16.6% year over year in May, according to the national Case-Shiller index, and are now 38.1% above their 2006 peak.

Share of Mortgages in Forbearance:
- The Mortgage Bankers Association's (MBA) latest Forbearance and Call Volume Survey revealed that the total number of loans now in forbearance decreased by 1 basis point from 3.26% of servicers' portfolio volume in the prior week to 3.25% as of August 15, 2021.

Housing Market NewsYou know that the economy isn’t doing well. I mean, come on!
We’re all feeling it in our pocketbooks. And it’s not just about your bank account either: there are a lot of people out of work and losing their homes because they can’t make ends meet. But don’t worry – even though things seem bleak right now, there’s still plenty to be optimistic about! Watch this video for five reasons why the economy might NOT be as bad as you think.
Pending Homes Sales Drop in June-The number of signed contracts on existing homes fell in June.
-The latest data from S&P Case-Shiller shows that prices in May were 17% higher than they were a year ago.
-Mortgage rates shot upward in June, further adding to the affordability issue.
-Newly built houses, which closed in June were down 6.6% from May, and 19.4% from June 2020
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/29/pending-home-sales-drop-in-june-.html
Inflation Gauge up 3.5%–An inflation gauge followed closely by the Federal Reserve increased 3.5% year over year in June, below the expected 3.6%.
-Consumer spending increased by 1% as personal income also rose faster than expected.
-When it comes to employment, the rate of inflation increased.

Record Lumber Prices Deliver HUGE Profits-Lumber futures closed at $621.90(As of July 30th)
-At the peak lumber was going for $1,711.20 per 1,000 board feet, which was adding about $20,000 in building costs to a $200,000 house
-Mill executives say lumber prices could rise again due to the wildfires in British Columbia

If this housing market news has you worried about a possible housing bubble, you’re not alone. Housing prices are on the rise again and many Americans are unlikely to be able to afford homes if this trend keeps up. Lumber futures rose sharply earlier in the year due to COVID-19, which really hurt the supply chain with lumber mills.
Housing Supply is tight, and demand has been outpacing supply in many markets. Housing starts have been down for the past 4 months, and they have not kept pace with the growing demand for houses. Housing starts are an important measure of the demand for housing and if they don’t keep up with the growing demand then we could be at risk for a Housing Bubble Burst.
To make matters worse, as housing prices increase more homebuyers are turning to adjustable-rate mortgages, which could result in a Housing Bubble Burst if interest rates are raised and people can’t afford their monthly payments.

In this episode of the TruPodcast, we’re going to explore the 3 warning signs that will tell you if a housing bubble is about to burst.
It’s no secret that we’re in a time where the housing market is booming, but don’t get too excited because there are some very telling signs that say our party might be coming to an end soon. So before you invest your hard-earned money in your next investment property or buy a home, make sure you listen to this episode so you can avoid making costly mistakes later on.
There are signs of an impending housing bubble, but we are not talking about some data points that could tell us whether or not the housing market will crash.
Prices are above the housing bubble levels of 2006.Prices have set several record highs in 2021, while the housing supply was ill-prepared for the increased demand due to the pandemic. Additionally, the housing market has been experiencing FOMO, which has driven the prices of the housing market to a point where a substantial portion of potential homebuyers cannot afford to buy.

More Small Houses are Hitting the Market. Will These Houses Slow the Impending Housing Bubble?The share of small houses that were for sale in July 2021 increased. But will these houses make it more affordable for homebuyers going forward? A small house as defined by Realtor.com is between 750 and 1,750 square feet. The average median for these types of houses in July 2021 was $385,000.
https://www.businessinsider.com/small-house-listings-increasing-amid-improving-housing-market-2021-8
The “F” Word that Could Cause an Impending Housing BubbleFor the first week of August, homeowners that are in forbearance came in at 1.6 million. Overall, that is a reduction from 3.40% to 3.26%. This segment of homeowners is in jeopardy of losing their homes. You might be saying this sounds like our last housing bubble, but this time it is different. There are more homeowners that are using forbearance as a financial tool, but unfortunately, forbearance is not a tool that you should use for a long period of time.

How Successful Will These Young Adults Really Be in Life?We often think that if we want success, we need to have a lot of money in the bank account or be born into it. The truth is that you should possess two skills: reading and math. These two skills are the foundation of every profession and any job position that requires attention to detail. Without them, you cannot succeed in life! In the latest episode of TruPodcast, we discuss how a State passed a law that will not require a high school graduate to be proficient in their reading and math skills. How do you think that will impact these young adults in the future?
Also, we’ll talk about the housing market, your money, and how debt is growing at alarming rates in some States.

Housing Market UpdateIn this podcast, I’m going to give you a quick rundown of what’s going on in the housing market and how it affects you.
In this episode of the TruPodcast, I will discuss two numbers that can make your day better or worse depending on how you look at them. The first number is $361,800 which is an average sales price of a new home for June 2021. The second number is $563.40(At the time this episode was recorded), which is the cost of 1,000 board feet of lumber. Why is that number important to you and me? It tells us how much it can potentially cost us to build a brand new home. Or that back patio you want to build, but have been putting it off cause the cost of lumber has priced you out of the market.
I think that everyone has been wondering what’s happening with housing prices lately? Well, we’re here for you. We’ll take a look at some of the factors affecting today’s real estate market and provide an overview of what might happen next. If you want to know more about homeownership or are considering buying or selling your own property. So what does all of this mean? Tune into this episode to find out!

The cost of living has been steadily increasing for years, and it’s not getting any better. In this TruPodcast, I’m going to explain the housing market in eight minutes with my own twist on how it all works.
So you think the housing market is soaring? Maybe you should take a closer look. In this podcast, I break down how rents are increasing and what it means for your wallet and the broader economy.
You’re spending more and more of your paycheck on rent. But the crazy housing market is making it impossible to find a place that fits into your budget? We get it, we’ve been there too!
The median U.S. home price has risen to a new high of $363,300 as strong demand pushes the number of homes sold higher than ever before! The National Association for Realtors (NAR) said that existing-home sales rose 1.4% in June from the prior month and have increased by 22%. What does this mean? We will share some of our thoughts on all of this!
Housing Market Explained:Here’s why:
1) People are making more money but not enough to cover rent increases with their income alone; 2) Baby Boomers need to sell homes before they retire or face losing equity; 3) New home construction isn’t keeping up with demand so prices keep going up.
I’m going to tell you all about the cost of living and why it’s so expensive nowadays. It’s not just rent that has increased but also housing prices which are a big reason for people being unable to afford a house these days. So sit back with your coffee or tea and let me explain everything in detail.

In today’s housing market there is a tremendous amount of pressure on homebuilders, homebuyers, and renters. And if you are starting to fill the financial sting in your wallet you are not alone. It is costing more to build, purchase, and rent homes in today’s housing market.
Make sure you do not get FOMO from this housing market! Be different and wait and see how the market plays out since 1. interest rates are going up, which has already cost a homebuyer at least $30,000 in purchasing power. 2. Housing supply is at an all-time low and homebuilders have slowed their building due to lumber pricing pressures. 3. Rents across the nation are increasing and with the housing shortage. Landlords are raising rents to annual state maximums or selling their investment properties outright.

Life, Housing, and Coaching
Life sure has given me a full plate the last several months. And I too have had challenges getting back to “normal life”. Things are getting better each day, and each day that I choose to move forward is a positive step.
The housing market is going crazy right now. I am in Arizona, specifically, Maricopa County and houses here are going for $30,000, $40,000, and even $50,000 over the asking price. THAT IS JUST CRAZY! The price of homes at some point has to cool off. Right now there are 2 months of standing inventory in the market. Typically, there are anywhere between 4 to 6 months of inventory in a non-COVID housing market.
About a week ago I had the pleasure to speak with a potential coaching client about her financial goals and dreams. This client is over the age of 60 and has rented all her life. And she was finally ready for change. But she was stuck on one item. She wanted everything to be perfect before she would even take a step forward. Change is NOT perfect, but change is deciding to take that first step away from your past. Until you do that your past will control your today and future!
In the coming weeks, we will be launching our coaching group, TruCoaching! Along with our non-profit, TruCommunity, we will be able to help clients from a financial aspect all the way to purchasing a home. Be on the lookout for more details.
Thank you for tuning into the podcast and I will see you on the other side! Have a great productive day!
