The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit’s Eventual Tenant Ownership program is meant to give people the chance to buy the home they're renting. It works by providing developers with Low-Income Housing Tax Credits for building homes that would qualify for this program in exchange. But new reporting from Underscore Native News and ICT highlights how the Washington program, which mainly serves tribal lands and governments, has failed to convert a single home to ownership. Luna Reyna is the Northwest Bureau Chief for the publication. She joins us to share more.

At 12:15 AM, one of David's tenants sent him a shocking video of a furious downstairs neighbor pounding on their door, yelling profanities, and accusing them of “walking too loudly.” The audio is intense.

Send us a textThinking about putting solar on your roof? We break down the real numbers and the hidden costs most sales pitches skip. From roof age and orientation to removal fees and financing traps, we map out the path that makes solar pay—and the scenarios where it stalls. If your shingles are nearing the end of their life, adding panels now can force an expensive remove-and-reinstall when you inevitably replace the roof. That extra step often adds years to your break-even point, even with improved panel efficiency and a federal tax credit available through 2032.We share practical benchmarks: a typical home using around 10,000 kWh annually may see a break-even just past ten years if the roof faces south around a 20-degree pitch. Shift that orientation or plan a reroof midstream and your payback stretches further. We also unpack why resale value isn't guaranteed. Some buyers love solar; others don't want the responsibility, especially if there's an outstanding loan. A financed system can complicate closing, and in some cases, buyers refuse to assume the remaining balance.For long-term owners, the strategy changes. Pairing a durable metal roof with a quality solar install can unlock decades of performance while avoiding mid-life tear-off costs. If you're building new, design with solar in mind: a clean, south-facing plane, thoughtful overhangs, and fewer penetrations. If you're retrofitting, demand multiple quotes, production models that include shading and degradation, and clear warranties on panels, inverters, and roof penetrations. We also cover inspection realities: panels can block access to shingles and flashings, so documentation and maintenance matter.Ready to make a smart call on solar?

If you've ever been told your gut is “fine” but you still feel bloated, inflamed, exhausted, or stuck, this episode will change the way you look at your health. In today's episode, I break down what a GI Map actually is and why I use it as the starting point for almost every woman I work with. I explain the critical difference between what a traditional GI doctor looks for and what a GI Map is designed to uncover.  While medical doctors are trained to find disease, this type of testing looks for dysfunction, the subtle imbalances that quietly sabotage your energy, hormones, digestion, and metabolism. I walk you through what the test measures, including bacteria, yeast, parasites, inflammation, leaky gut markers, and detox capacity.  You'll learn why so many women get “normal” test results at the doctor's office but still feel anything but normal in their bodies. I share why skipping the gut and jumping straight into hormone work often leads to stalled progress and frustration. I also break down how we use GI Map results to create custom gut-healing protocols that go far beyond random supplements.  We talk through the real-life signs that your gut might be your missing piece even if you don't have obvious digestive issues. I explain why this test alone isn't enough and how coaching and real-time adjustments are what make the process actually work.  If you've been doing “all the right things” and still feel off, this episode will connect the dots for you. By the end, you'll understand whether a GI Map might be the next step in your healing journey and why guessing is no longer necessary. If you're ready for clarity instead of trial and error, this episode is for you.  Time Stamps: (1:21) Home Ownership(4:40) GI Map's(6:32) Disease vs Dysfunction(9:50) What Is A GI Map?(12:27) Where We Start Our Vital Spark Clients(15:40) Your House Is On Fire(20:07) Episode 206 and 207(21:58) Would You Benefit From A GI Map?(29:47) What Happens After The GI Map---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Homeownership has been baked into the American Dream for nearly a century. Politicians, parents, and banks all tell you the same thing: “Buy a house as soon as you can. It's your biggest asset.” But as a real estate guy who actually understands how wealth is created… I'm not convinced it makes sense for everyone—especially early in your career. Let me explain. Say you finally start making some real money—maybe you're a doctor fresh out of residency. The cultural script kicks in immediately: Buy a house. Build equity. Feel responsible. But here's the part most people forget: your primary home is not an asset. As Robert Kiyosaki puts it, if something takes money out of your pocket, it's not an asset—it's a liability. According to Bankrate and the Census Bureau, U.S. homeowners spend around $17,000 per year just to maintain and operate their homes—and that's before you make a single mortgage payment. That's property taxes, insurance, utilities, landscaping, repair bills, HOA fees… the list goes on. If your house is worth $1.5M, even the bare-minimum 1% annual maintenance rule hits you with $15,000 a year just to keep the place from deteriorating. Add insurance, taxes, utilities, and everything else, and you're looking at $30,000–$40,000 per year in unavoidable, non-negotiable carrying costs. And that still doesn't cover the roof that fails, the appliances that die, or the curveballs Mother Nature throws at you. None of that feels like an “asset” to me. Now, to be fair, people don't usually buy homes as investments. They buy them for stability, a place to raise kids, a sense of being “settled.” It's emotional. It's psychological. And it's real. But if you're young—and especially if you haven't hit your first million—it's worth asking yourself a tough question: Is buying a home right now the best financial move… or just the most familiar one? Because historically, U.S. home prices appreciate around 4.3% a year (Case-Shiller). Meanwhile, the S&P 500 averages closer to 10%. And if you’re in real estate investing? A solid multifamily value-add deal often targets 16–20% IRR—plus tax advantages your primary home will never give you. So if you're just getting started, it might make sense to delay that home purchase. Invest first. Build your passive income. Let your assets—not your salary—pay for your lifestyle. Then when you do buy a home, you'll be doing it from a position of strength, not strain. The irony is this: waiting often gets you to the dream home faster because your capital compounds instead of being trapped in drywall, windows, and a backyard you barely have time to enjoy. This Week on Wealth Formula Podcast, I interview expert Dr. Ken Johnson, who digs even deeper into this question—and lays out why homeownership isn't the golden ticket people think it is, especially for high earners early in their wealth-building years.

According to research, as prices climb and first-time buyers rethink their expectations, many Canadians say owning a home feels further away than ever — with some giving up entirely. Our question: What's stopping you from owning a home? What needs to change to make homes more affordable?

Is Trump's new proposed 50-year mortgage just savvy economics… or a dangerous move that will cripple American families for generations? In this episode, Steven and Mark break down Trump's most talked-about financial ideas — from extended mortgages to 15-year car loans — and evaluate them through a biblical lens of stewardship, debt, and generational impact. But we don't stop at economics. We also examine Trump's own words about faith, repentance, and salvation to ask an honest question: What does he actually believe about God? Not what pundits say. Not what the media spins. What he says. In his own words. By the end, you'll have a clear, biblical framework for evaluating both a leader's money philosophy and their spiritual claims — without falling for hype, fear, or personality cults. If you want to lead your home with discernment in a chaotic election season… this one's for you. About Abraham's Wallet: Abraham's Wallet exists to inspire and equip Biblical family leaders.

Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan's legal team considers whether to go to trial or take a plea deal. How redlining affects access to homeownership today. The changing market of Christmas trees, and how sellers are adapting.

Nick & Dan discuss the benefits of owning a home, both financial (building equity, fixed mortgage payments, tax advantages) and emotional (stability, freedom, community), while acknowledging affordability challenges. They introduce the episode's focus: a step-by-step guide to buying your first home, including building a "power team" of professionals and using tools like the First Home Savings Account. Homeownership builds equity and wealth over time, unlike rent, while offering predictable costs through fixed-rate mortgages and potential tax benefits. Beyond finances, owning a home provides stability, freedom to personalize your space, pride in achievement, stronger community connections, and freedom from landlord-related frustrations.

When the dream of buying a home seems unattainable, is it time to find a new dream? Or is there another option on the table?Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, or the FHFA, said the administration is “working on” a plan to introduce 50 year mortgage terms for homebuyers. But some Americans have already been working on their own plans towards homeownership… and it's not the ‘nuclear family' route. Brittany is joined by NPR chief economics correspondent Scott Horsley and NPR producer & author of The Other Significant Others: Reimaging Life with Friendship at the Center, Rhaina Cohen to get into the cult of homeownership in America.

It's not just possible — it's strategic.“Student loans don't stop you from buying a home — not understanding how the system works does.”HighlightsThe total amount of student debt doesn't matter — monthly payments do.Banks approve home loans for borrowers with debt every day.DTI (Debt-to-Income Ratio) is the key metric lenders use.Homeownership can be the best strategy to crush student loan debt.Connect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeVisit our Resource Center to "Ask David" AND get your FREE Home Buying Starter Kit!David Sidoni, the "How to Buy a Home Guy," is a seasoned real estate professional and consumer advocate with two decades of experience helping first-time homebuyers navigate the real estate market.

Some have found their houses destroyed but others have found strangers have been living in their homes, sometimes for years. We go to Syria to see how locals are dealing with the thorny issue of ownership after war.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Gen Z is screaming that the American Dream is de@d — and the numbers look brutal: only ~10% of 30-year-olds today own a home AND are married compared to over 50% in the 1960s. BlackRock & private equity are buying up houses with cash, 50-year mortgages are being floated, and the rage at “greedy boomers” is everywhere. But is it really the boomers' fault? Is corporate home-buying the real villain? Should we ban corporations from owning single-family homes? Deport illegals to free up housing? Or is the hard truth that Gen Z needs to hear something totally different? Then the conversation gets even spicier: Matt Walsh says “America ONLY,” not just America First — no more money to Israel, Ukraine, or anyone else. Is that real nationalism… or an isolationist trap that only benefits China and Russia? Monique, Krista and Kevin go deep (with receipts) on:

This weekend, border patrol agents converged on Charlotte, North Carolina, in an attempt to remove illegal immigrants from the city per President Trump's order. DHS is calling it "Operation Charlotte's Web." Local leaders have released statements opposing the Trump administration's actions in the city, and called for protests against the agents. Ron Vitiello, Senior Advisor to Customs and Border Protection, joins the Rundown to explain why this needed to happen in Charlotte to keep its citizens safe. Homeownership feels out of reach for millions of Americans as prices soar and the median first-time buyer age hits historic highs. Howard Husock, American Enterprise Institute senior fellow, joins the Rundown to explain what's driving the crisis, whether ideas like 50-year mortgages or city-level reforms can help, and what it will take to make owning a home attainable again.  Plus, commentary by Guy Benson, host of The Guy Benson Show on Fox News Radio Learn more about your ad choices.

Michael breaks down a new data point from the National Association of Realtors: the median age of U.S. home buyers has climbed to 59. He explores what's driving the shift—from affordability crises to shifting priorities—and examines new proposals like 50-year mortgages and portable home loans. Plus, how America's housing shortage ties into mental health, generational trends, and global comparisons.

In this episode of *The DO Show* mortgage expert *Dustin Owen* tackles one of the most pressing questions in today's real estate market: *Is there a housing bubble in 2025?* Drawing on his extensive experience in the mortgage industry, Dustin debunks the widespread myth of an impending housing market crash. Instead, he explains that *today's high home prices* are largely driven by a persistent *housing shortage* and strong buyer demand, not by risky lending practices or speculative bubbles.

We all want the dream body, but almost none of us want to slow down long enough to build the base it actually requires. In today's episode, I'm sharing one of the most important lessons I've learned as both a coach and a client: you can't build a strong, sustainable body without a strong foundation.  I use the analogy of building a dream home because just like a house needs a solid foundation before the walls go up, your body needs metabolic stability and healthy habits before you layer on intense training or dieting.  Most of us try to skip this part because we're in a hurry to see results.  I get it. I used to be the impatient one who wanted the plan, the strategy, and the visible progress right away. But rushing your transformation is the fastest way to end up starting over again and again.  In this episode, I break down what the “foundation phase” actually looks like, including how we assess metabolism using SHREDS and why stabilizing sleep, hunger cues, digestion, energy, stress, and recovery is non-negotiable.  I share why this phase can feel slow and why that slow work is what makes everything that comes after actually stick. I also walk through the three phases of a healthy nutrition journey and how to know which phase you're truly ready for.  This is about building a body that can handle real life. Vacations, busy seasons, holidays, stress, and everything in between. When your foundation is strong, you don't fall apart when your routine changes. You adapt and you bounce back.  If you've been feeling frustrated with slow progress, this episode may be the reframe you needed. Take a breath — you might just be pouring the concrete.  Time Stamps: (2:57) Next Stage of Homeownership (4:34) Building The Foundation (7:27) When I First Started My Fitness Journey (12:42) The Metabolic Assessment (19:42) Building The Walls Next (20:27) Vital Spark's 3 Phases (28:02) Please Share and Review---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?
