Episode Introduction This episode of The Homeowners Show features hosts Kevin Hackett and Craig Williams discussing current trends in the housing market, personal finance related to homeownership, and a practical DIY project. Real Estate Market Update Mortgage Rates: Rates have dropped to their lowest point since 2023, falling below 6% and even reaching 5.9% for some loans. FHA and VA loans are seeing rates around 5.9%, while traditional loans are in the low 6% range. Buyer's Market: There are currently 500,000 more home sellers than buyers, indicating a buyer's market. This shift suggests that prices may begin to decrease, and buyers have more negotiation power. Affordable Homes: While many homes are priced high, there are still options available for under $200,000, typically smaller, newer constructions. The hosts advocate for buying within one's means and prioritizing essential home features over excessive luxury. Financial Advice for Homeowners Smart Spending: The hosts emphasize the importance of making financially sound decisions, such as buying a home that is affordable rather than stretching to the absolute limit. This approach can lead to less financial stress and more disposable income for home improvements and personal enjoyment. Investment vs. Renting: Homeownership is generally presented as a better financial decision than renting, even for smaller, more affordable properties, as it builds equity over time. Avoiding Unnecessary Debt: The discussion highlights the negative impact of taking on excessive debt for a home, potentially leading to marital strain and unhappiness. DIY Project: Garage Door Opener Installation The Problem: Craig's garage door opener failed due to a worn-out plastic gear. The Solution: After initially considering professional replacement, which was quoted at three times the cost of the unit itself, Craig opted for a DIY installation. Technology & Tools: ChatGPT Assistance: AI was used to research compatible brands and installation nuances, revealing that multiple brands share the same mounting mechanisms. Chamberlain B6753T: The chosen smart garage door opener features Wi-Fi connectivity, a camera for deliveries (with a subscription service), a microphone, and a backup battery. Installation App: A dedicated app provided interactive 3D models and video guidance, making the installation process significantly easier and more detailed than traditional manuals. Key Features: The new opener is remarkably quiet and features a powerful LED light bar (2000 lumens) that illuminates the entire garage. Cost Savings: DIY installation saved approximately $1200 compared to professional service. Social Commentary Protests and Child Involvement: The hosts express dismay at seeing young children holding vulgar protest signs, criticizing the irresponsibility of parents who expose their children to such environments and language. Focus on Service: They advocate for channeling energy from unproductive protests into positive actions, such as volunteering and helping those in need. Economic Stabilization: Despite controversies, the hosts acknowledge that the current economic conditions have stabilized, leading to increased consumer confidence and spending. Upcoming Content The hosts mention exciting interviews and content planned for the year ahead. Call to Action Viewers are encouraged to like, subscribe, and leave reviews for The Homeowners Show.

Millions of Canadian mortgages taken out at ultra-low rates between 2020 and 2022 are now coming up for renewal – at much higher rates. That reality has led many to warn about a "mortgage renewal cliff" in 2026.

Cybersecurity, Smart Homes, and the Hidden Risks You Don't See Coming Guest host Pastor Bill Anderson fills in on https://Ready-Radio.com with co-host Dennis Brewster and guest Michael Nielsen of https://DataVoiceOptions.com to explore the real-world challenges of digital security. In today's world of smart homes, connected cameras, mobile devices, and always-on Wi-Fi, are you protected—or quietly exposed? This episode explains how cybercriminals operate. They use AI phone scams, giftcard schemes, Wi-Fi hijacking, and hidden malware that can remain undetected for months. Thinking 'I'm too small to be a target' puts you at risk. Could your phone bring malware home? Is your guest Wi-Fi, camera system, or smart lock an entry point for attackers? Michael Nielsen explains practical strategies for everyday people—how network gateways work, why default modem setups fall short, and how separating devices into virtual networks can contain threats before they spread, giving listeners practical tools to protect their own networks. Dennis shares real-world examples of cases where cameras didn't prevent crime—but did make prosecution possible, showing how evidence can aid justice. And throughout the hour, the focus stays on realistic, affordable steps listeners can take now, empowering them to act without fear-driven hype. Wondering how vulnerable you are? Tune in for simple, effective tips to reduce your risk.

Ted Benna, the father of the 401(k) -- who first recognized the potential in Section 401(k) of the tax code to boost retirement savings and who developed the first plan -- ax code, he recognized its potential and developed the first plan -- says that the Trump Administration's proposed plan to allow 401(k) savers to put some of their monies toward home down payments is a positive change that is overdue. He is not worried that the change will somehow endanger savers or widen the retirement crisis and notes that the change would make rules consistent across various types of tax-advantaged retirement accounts. Benna also discusses the Radish Plan, his new vision for how 401k plans can be used by employers to create incentives that boost employee-retention and productivity. John Cole Scott, president of CEF Advisors, reviews the key takeaways from his firm's fourth-quarter review of action in the closed-end fund industry, focusing on fund consolidation trends that have occurred in the middle of booming asset growth for the industry, as well as discount levels and whether narrowing discounts set up 2026 for more muted results.  A day after joining Chuck to discuss his new book "Your Perfect Portfolio: The Ultimate Guide to Using the World's Most Powerful Investment Strategies," Cullen Roche of the Discipline Funds puts his personal disciplines and preferred investment strategies to work talking ETFs in the Market Call.

Luxury home design is no longer defined by finishes and floor plans alone. High-end homeowners are asking their homes to support performance and wellness. Brad Robinson, president of Bradford Custom Homes, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss the evolving landscape of luxury home design and the trends shaping today's high-end market. Redefining Luxury: Wellness-Driven Design Robinson said, “The way I see luxury evolving is how your home makes you feel, how it helps you perform, how your home creates a sense of rejuvenation and prepares you to go back into the world and perform at your peak.” Many of Bradford's clients are high performers in their professional lives and have already optimized other aspects of their day-to-day routines. As a result, these homeowners are now asking more from their built environments. To meet those expectations, Bradford Custom Homes developed the Bradford Elemental System, a wellness-driven design framework that focuses on three foundational components: air, water and light. Each element is intentionally integrated into the design and construction process to improve comfort, health and overall performance within the home. Unlike traditional construction models, Bradford does not simply execute a completed set of plans. Instead, the company takes a leadership role early in the process, ensuring wellness goals are carried through every phase of design and construction. “We serve as expert representatives for owners and connect them through the correct architecture or the architects, the designers, the interior designers and the right engineers that know how to bring these systems together,” said Robinson. “We serve as that central conduit to help ensure that vision is really aligned and brought to life.” By prioritizing wellness at the systems level—not just through surface-level amenities—Bradford is redefining what luxury living means in today's custom home market. Luxury Home Design Trends Robinson highlights several design trends taking shape in the luxury home market: Sustainability: Homebuyers want more sustainable products incorporated into their homes that don't off-gas or affect the indoor air quality. Traditional design returns: Out-of-town buyers are choosing natural materials and “tried and true” design elements alongside more contemporary styles. Durability in the kitchen: Quartz and porcelain countertops are in style, thanks to their durability and hygiene. While these surfaces may not offer the same heat resistance as some materials, they provide a higher level of cleanliness. Homeowners are also looking for NSF-rated and 100% nonporous options for an added level of sanitation. Wellness-driven primary suites: From circadian lighting to enhanced ventilation, Robinson notes that his clients are choosing design elements that encourage recovery and recharge. Smart Home Integration Smart home technology continues to shape luxury living, but power resiliency is becoming a growing concern in Atlanta. To address this, Bradford installs EcoFlow systems and natural gas backup generators, ensuring critical systems like energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) and water filtration remain operational. “There are some amazing and cool features when it comes to pressing a button,” said Robinson. “But what happens when we have rolling brownouts? The AI data centers are going to get preference for power before the residents will.” Multigenerational Living & Flexibility Post-COVID-19 lifestyles have fueled demand for multigenerational living and aging-in-place designs. As families share space, there is a need for private living areas, whether as a main-level bedroom suite or accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Many families are also adding expansive outdoor spaces designed for communal and individual use, including pools, outdoor fitness spaces and even saunas. “People are making those meaningful investments in their home so they want to stay there,” said Robinson. “The average homeowner spends 18 hours a day in their house.” 2026: Year of Innovation Robinson said, “I’ve been working very hard and behind the scenes, I’ve created a private equity fund that’s going to give us the ability to dip our toes into some of the ultra-high-net-worth markets and some of those communities that we’ve aspired to build in.” Bradford has a new project set to appear in Atlanta Style & Design Magazine in March, which will showcase wellness-focused design, integrated technology and high-performance materials. The project utilizes insulated concrete forms (ICF) and HydroBlok wall assemblies to create fully waterproof, mold-resistant envelopes while maintaining high-performance interiors.

After causing the 2008 financial crisis through reckless deregulation, Larry Summers got hired by Barack Obama to fix the disaster he helped create. Then in November 2025, emails revealed he'd been using Jeffrey Epstein as his wingman.Welcome to part two. Last episode covered his arrogant rise. Now we cover his spectacular fall.The 2008 Financial CrisisSummers made $5 million at D.E. Shaw in 2008 whilst the economy collapsed. He earned $20 million speaking to banks he'd deregulated.Then his policies came home to roost. Derivatives crashed. Lehman collapsed.Who did Obama call? Larry Summers.Christina Romer calculated the economy needed $1.8 trillion in stimulus. Summers capped it at $890 billion. The final stimulus was $787 billion. Too small.Banks got bailed out. Homeowners got foreclosed.The Epstein ScandalAfter Obama, Summers returned to Harvard. Joined OpenAI in 2023. He'd survived everything.Then came November 2025. The House Oversight Committee released Epstein's estate documents. Among them: emails between Epstein and Summers from 2017-2019.Summers was asking Epstein for dating advice about pursuing a younger woman economist, his "mentee." Code name: "peril." Epstein workshopped his messages over seven months.Epstein wrote: "im a pretty good wing man, no?"Summers asked whether to thank her or apologise for being married. To Harvard professor Elisa New. Who had also emailed Epstein, thanking him for funding her poetry project.The fallout was immediate. Summers resigned from OpenAI, Bloomberg, The New York Times, and multiple think tanks. On 3rd December 2025, the American Economic Association imposed a lifetime ban.Summers called it "a major error in judgement."What We LearnBrilliance doesn't mean being right. Summers was wrong about derivatives, Glass-Steagall, Russia, the stimulus, and Epstein."Failing upwards" works until it doesn't. For 50 years, every disaster led to a bigger job. Until one scandal proved too toxic.Stiglitz warned everyone about everything in the 1990s. He was right and kept from power. Summers was wrong and kept getting promoted.The system enabled Summers for decades: valuing confidence over wisdom, connections over competence. His deregulation helped cause the 2008 financial crisis, his Russia policies created oligarchs, he was implicated in numerous scandals during his tenure in Harvard. He got away with failure for decades...until he used Jeffrey Epstein as his dating coach.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

An old man carves a puppet for revenge, but when the puppet begins talking, he tries to teach it to be a real boy in order for his hair to be real as well.  As the puppet tries to prove his father's hair is real, he learns through hardship and hard work what it means to be a real boy, while also losing his fortune and being eaten by a shark.   Written by Ean Smith (@marcusdayhooray).        Sponsored by: Dan Raymond Souvenireal Medallion Collection Holders, The People's Democratic Republic Against Dan Raymond       Credits:      Matthew Storino (@StorinoMp) - Narrator, Parrot, Acquaintance 3 Fee Basanavicius (@fbasanavicius) - Piñot-cchio, Hostage Wife, Acquaintance 2 Dylan Carey (@_groovebox_) - Grandpa, Policeman, Homeowner, Director, Announcer 1, Crow, Dan Raymond, Roommate 1, Lamp-Wick, Dairy Farmer, Pedestrian 4, Acquaintance 1 Jeremy DeAntonio (@jeremydeantonio5) - Fred Savage, Geppetto, Ticket Taker, Pulcinella, Innkeeper, Owl, Beach Goer 2, Pedestrian 1, Sandwhich Staker, Daysk Haybel-Shoofel, Alidoro, Announcer 3 Alex Campbell (@likethesoup92) - Mastro Antonio, Bystander 2, Talking Cricket, Drummer, Fox, Announcer 2, Pigeon, Beach Goer 3, Fisherman, Pedestrian 3, Egg Counter, Little Man Susan Day - Mom, Bystander 1, Piper, Harlequin, Cat, Fairy Maiden, Beach Goer 1, Roommate 2, Pedestrian 2, Dormouse

Send us a textA forged deed, a ticking clock, and a court that says the fix belongs to lawmakers—this conversation goes deep into how Arizona's property laws shape real lives. We walk through Dominguez v. Dominguez, where a recorded deed alleged to be forged collided with a five‑year statute tied to property tax payments. The result is unsettling: an elderly homeowner can lose title if fraud isn't challenged in time. The concurrence even warns that this reading could become a blueprint for deed thieves. We unpack why the justices still chose restraint, applying the statute as written and pointing the finger at the legislature to close the gap.Then we pivot to Aroca v. Tang Investment, where the court extinguished a deed of trust after the limitations period on the underlying debt expired, rejecting the idea that liens can linger forever. If a lender sleeps on its rights, the lien goes too. That may sting in post‑crash scenarios and for second liens, but it brings certainty to chains of title and aligns with broader policy around timely enforcement. Together, these cases show a consistent philosophy: courts interpret law; lawmakers set policy. If the rules enable deed fraud or crush lenders, the remedy is legislative.We share practical steps you can take now. Homeowners and families can set up county title alerts, keep tight control of original documents, watch tax bills, and get counsel at the first hint of title activity. Lenders can audit dormant notes, calendar deadlines, and streamline enforcement so claims don't die on the vine. And for those who want change, the path is civic, not judicial: advocate for a discovery‑rule fix to forged deeds, stronger notary standards, and better recording notice.If you care about protecting homes, cleaning up title, and keeping courts in their lane, this one's for you. Subscribe, share with someone who owns property in Arizona, and leave a review telling us which outcome you'd change and why.

What happens to the house in a divorce? For many homeowners, divorce and real estate collide in painful and expensive ways. The home is often the biggest asset, the biggest debt, and the most emotionally charged part of the divorce process — and it's where people make the most costly mistakes. In this episode of State 48 Homeowner, host Scott Kooiman of Klaus Team Real Estate Solutions sits down with family law attorney Marco Brown, founder of Brown Family Law, to explain what homeowners need to understand about divorce and your house — before emotions and assumptions lead to years of financial fallout. We break down: What really happens to the house in a divorce Common misconceptions about keeping the house after divorce How Arizona community property law treats the marital home Divorce housing options: selling the home, one spouse keeping it, or deferred sale How equity, debt, and property division are handled Why co-ownership, nesting, and "we'll figure it out later" usually fail What happens when one spouse refuses to cooperate or move out Court-ordered home sales and forced resolutions Why walking away emotionally before finances are settled is dangerous You'll also hear a critical mortgage and lending reality check from Steve Farrington of Unity Home Loans, explaining: How divorce affects mortgage qualification Debt-to-income ratio issues during divorce Using spousal support as qualifying income Refinancing after divorce — and what happens when rates are higher Credit risks when you're still tied to the mortgage How missed payments impact both spouses How to protect yourself financially during a divorce Before you make a decision — especially in a moment of stress — it's critical to talk to professionals who understand how family law, divorce mortgages, and real estate intersect. This episode is part of our "When Things Go Wrong" series, covering what happens to your home during divorce, death, disability, and major life transitions — so homeowners can make informed, confident decisions when it matters most.

https://FixItRadio.com kicks off 2026 with John Rush and engineer Larry Unger tackling a question many homeowners are now asking: What happens when the power goes out again—and it will? After recent widespread outages across Colorado, the conversation quickly turns to backup power, preparedness, and real-world lessons learned the hard way. Is a portable generator enough, or do you need whole-home backup power? What can actually run your furnace, refrigerator, or well pump—and what can't? Listener calls from Joe, Jeff, Mark, and Robert bring firsthand experience to the discussion, covering topics such as frozen pipes, unattended homes during winter travel, generator sizing, startup loads, gas meter upgrades, and battery failures. Jeff's story of living with rationed electricity and water overseas puts modern conveniences into perspective, while Joe breaks down how modern generators self-test weekly, send failure alerts to your phone, and why the battery—not the engine—is often the weakest link. Mark raises a critical concern many overlook: Will your generator actually start when it's bitterly cold? And Robert asks a common homeowner question—are white marks on a foundation a structural issue or just harmless mineral leaching? The episode also dives into battery wall systems, Powerwalls, UPS backups, and why even a one-second power interruption can reset computers, routers, and electronics. Is there a way to make the transition seamless? What equipment truly protects critical systems? This hour doesn't sell fear—it delivers experience, perspective, and practical guidance. With outages no longer a “maybe,” but a “when,” the real question is simple: Is your home actually ready for the next one?

In this episode of All Things Wildfire, OP Almaraz sits down with returning guest Diane Delaney, with Private Risk Management Association (PRMA), to unpack what the insurance industry has learned one year after the Palisades wildfire—and what must change going forward. Drawing from PRMA's nationwide survey of high-net-worth homeowners, Diane reveals a striking disconnect: while over 95% of respondents say they feel confident in their insurance coverage, nearly 70% fear exclusions and gaps at the time of claim. This gap has become painfully clear in catastrophe-prone regions like California, where wildfires, wind-driven embers, and insurance non-renewals are forcing homeowners and brokers alike to rethink how insurance is used. The conversation explores why insurance can no longer be treated as a commodity, and why brokers must evolve into true risk management advisors—having ongoing, consultative conversations that address lifestyle changes, life stages, and worst-case scenarios. From wildfire mitigation and water-leak detection systems to rebuilding realities and self-insurance risks, this episode highlights how proactive planning can protect not just property—but livelihoods and peace of mind. Diane also shares how PRMA is investing in education, learning tracks, and AI-powered role-play tools to help brokers sharpen difficult conversations around rate increases, coverage gaps, and resiliency. Together, OP and Diane emphasize a central message: you either invest in resilience early, or you pay far more later when disaster strikes. Key Highlight 95% vs. 70% disconnect: Homeowners feel confident in coverage—yet fear exclusions when claims happen Why insurance doesn't protect your lifestyle unless it's designed to How wildfires exposed major gaps in homeowner understanding during real-time claims Why brokers must shift from transactional sales to ongoing consultative partnerships Real wildfire and water-damage stories that show the true cost of being under-prepared The growing importance of leak detection devices, mitigation, and prevention tools Why insurance should be viewed as catastrophic protection—not home maintenance How PRMA is modernizing broker education with learning tracks and AI role-play tools Why resilience investments feel expensive—until disaster makes them unavoidable In This Episode: What one year after the Palisades wildfire has revealed about insurance gaps Insights from PRMA's nationwide survey of high-net-worth homeowners Why many insured homeowners still feel unprotected at claim time How wildfire, flood, wind, and water risks intersect Why prevention and mitigation improve insurability—not just safety The emotional and financial toll of rebuilding after catastrophe How brokers can deliver real value in a hard insurance market PRMA's 2026 initiatives: learning tracks, education, and AI-based coaching Key Takeaway: Insurance works best before disaster strikes. When homeowners, brokers, and carriers collaborate proactively—focusing on resilience, communication, and realistic expectations—insurance becomes a powerful tool instead of a painful surprise.
