Podcasts about housing affordability

There's a growing belief that Wall Street and institutional buyers are the main reason housing feels unaffordable — and that banning them from buying homes would fix the problem. In this episode, David and Ryan sit down with Or Agassi to zoom out and look at what's really happening in the housing market. We talk about institutional investors, REITs, build-to-rent, housing supply, and why the real issue is more complex than most headlines make it sound. KEY TALKING POINTS:0:00 - The 5-Step Private Money Method0:31 - Step 1: Make Your List2:36 - Step 2: Start The Discussion6:16 - Step 3: Use The 16-Min Audio8:15 - Step 4: Set The Q&A Appointment11:37 - Step 5: Get Verbal Pledge15:14 - Outro LINKS:LinkedIn: Or Agassihttps://www.instagram.com/privatemoneyauthority/ Website: Kaihttps://kai.pro/ Instagram: David Leckohttps://www.instagram.com/dlecko Website: DealMachinehttps://www.dealmachine.com/pod Instagram: Ryan Haywoodhttps://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments Website: Heritage Home Investmentshttps://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/

Property expert and investment strategist Ravi Sharma joins James Smith to reveal the problem with the global housing market. This is no longer just a hurdle for first time buyers; it is a systemic time bomb that is stripping away financial agency and threatening the future of social mobility. The quiet crisis of skyrocketing prices is not an accident of the market, but the result of a rigged system that prioritizes corporate incentives over human survival.

President Donald Trump is rolling out plans to make housing more affordable. He's ordered Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to purchase $200 billion in mortgage bonds, proposed a ban on private equity purchasing single-family homes, and floated the idea of 50-year mortgages — all while continuing his pressure campaign on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates. Will they work? Also, tech earnings this week will offer investors a window into the AI boom, and what we're watching as the Fed meets.

Chuck Rocha returns from his gorilla-tracking adventure in Rwanda (complete with wild stories and a new honorary tribal chief title) to dive deep with Mike Madrid into why Latino voters are uniquely positioned to reshape American politics.In this episode, Mike breaks down the stunning data showing that while other voters remain locked in partisan camps with only 2-3% swings, working-class Latinos are swinging 11-15% between elections—making them the only true swing voting bloc left in America. From kicking out Republicans across the country in 2025 to determining crucial Texas House races in March of this year, Mike and Chuck explore why Latino voters' willingness to hold politicians accountable regardless of party might be the most rational response in an otherwise polarized system.Plus: reflections on faith and politics in Latino communities, the inside story of the Jasmine Crockett-Colin Allred Senate race dynamics, and why this generational transformation will define American politics through 2050. And yes, Chuck shares what it's really like to sit face-to-face with silverback gorillas (spoiler: there's no glass between you).-Recorded: January 14, 2026-Referenced in the episode:Check out Senator Ruben Gallego's 'Path Home' housing affordability plan video: https://x.com/SenRubenGallego/status/2011451211225166201'Can James Talarico Reclaim Christianity for the Left?' form the Ezra Klein podcast: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-james-talarico.html-Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more episodes of The Latino Vote Podcast!

If you've been scrolling listings at midnight, doing mental math on mortgage calculators, and wondering, “Wait…how is anyone actually buying a house right now?” you are not alone.My guest today is Alex Gailey, personal finance reporter at Bankrate, and she's been digging into the numbers behind America's housing affordability crisis. Her reporting found something jaw-dropping: the typical U.S. household can't afford three-quarters of the homes currently on the market. In this conversation, we're going to break down what's driving the affordability squeeze — from the “lock-in effect” of homeowners clinging to 3% mortgages, to the widening gap between incomes and housing costs, to the new reality that many buyers are spending closer to 40%+ of their income just to make the monthly payment work.Alex also shares where in the country buyers still have a real shot, what she's hearing from successful first-time buyers about the real keys to getting in (hint: flexibility, patience, and boundaries), and why renting can be a smart wealth-building move when buying would make you house-poor.Plus: we talk about the rise of unconventional paths to homeownership — buying with friends or family, “house hacking,” down payment help — and what all of this signals about the future of the American Dream, especially for millennials and Gen Z.

What will the United States look like in 2026?In this episode of Independent, Paul Johnson and a panel of economists and political analysts break down the four biggest forces shaping America's future: the economy, housing affordability, immigration enforcement, and geopolitics.First, the panel makes economic predictions for 2026, debating whether the U.S. can sustain growth amid uncertainty surrounding tariffs, Federal Reserve independence, market volatility, and the explosive rise of artificial intelligence.Next, the conversation turns to housing affordability, including Donald Trump's proposal to ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes. Will this lower prices — or make the housing shortage worse by discouraging new construction and investment?The discussion then shifts to ICE and immigration enforcement, focusing on the deadly incident in Minneapolis and the growing tension between federal immigration authorities, local governments, and activist networks. The panel examines whether aggressive enforcement is improving border control — or fueling instability inside American cities.Lastly, the episode explores geopolitics, focusing on U.S. military action in Venezuela and what it signals about America's global strategy. The panel debates whether the move was driven by oil, deterrence, or political leverage, and what it means for regional stability. The discussion then broadens to Ukraine, NATO, and America's standing with its European allies, raising concerns about weakening trust, rising global instability, and whether the current world order is beginning to fracture.

Last week, President Donald Trump announced a pair of actions to address rising homeownership costs. On January 8, the president directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — government-sponsored mortgage-finance companies — to buy $200 billion in mortgage bonds to bring down mortgage rates. On January 7, Trump said he was “taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes” and would ask Congress to codify those rules. The president said he will share more details about his housing affordability plans in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, next week.

A $200 billion plan tied to mortgage rates just made headlines, and it's coming from Donald Trump. The idea is that by buying mortgage bonds, borrowing costs could come down without cutting rates directly through the Federal Reserve. It sounds promising, but how does it actually work, and what does it really change for everyday people?In this episode, I break down the mechanics behind mortgage bonds, the role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and why government money flowing into these markets can influence mortgage rates. We also talk about the early market reaction, including recent rate movement and a spike in refinance activity, and where things are still unclear.This episode isn't about politics. It's about understanding the system so you can make better decisions around buying, refinancing, or waiting. If you're watching the market and trying to figure out your next move, this conversation gives you the context most headlines leave out.Thank you for listening, and as always… enjoy your first sip.Watch the full episode on YouTube

The conversation delves into the current state of the housing market, focusing on the role of institutional investors, the political implications of housing policies, and the potential impact of refinancing trends and interest rates. The hosts discuss how institutional ownership affects local markets, the legislative responses to these dynamics, and the future of interest rates and mortgage products, including the viability of 50-year mortgages. They conclude with a cautious optimism about the market's direction and the need for careful consideration of policies affecting housing.Chapters:Introduction and Market Overview- 00:43Jason Gaunt introduces the show and provides a brief market update.Institutional Ownership and Legislation- 02:26Discussion on the impact of institutional ownership in the housing market and proposed legislation in Nevada.Political Influence on Market Trends- 06:31Exploration of how political decisions affect housing market trends.Interest Rates and Housing Affordability- 14:18Analysis of the role of interest rates in housing affordability and market dynamics.• 5.

A major political headline sent shockwaves through housing markets this week after President Donald Trump said he plans to ban large institutional investors from buying additional single-family homes. The proposal, framed as a move to restore housing affordability, immediately hit single-family rental stocks — but would it actually help buyers? In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, host Kathy Fettke breaks down how markets reacted, what the data really shows about investor activity, and why many experts argue a ban could backfire by limiting new construction and rental supply. Using insights from Redfin, HousingWire, and National Association of Home Builders, this episode separates political rhetoric from housing reality — and explains what investors, renters, and homebuyers should actually be watching next.

Housing affordability is under pressure, and the introduction of a 50-year mortgage has been floated as a solution. In this episode, we sit down for an honest, nuanced conversation about whether this product is a smart financial tool or a long-term trap.We break down how extended amortization can lower monthly payments and potentially open the door to homeownership for buyers currently priced out of the market. At the same time, we dig into the real risks: slower equity growth, higher exposure to market shifts, and the temptation to simply buy more houses instead of building financial margin.We also explore the psychology behind homeownership, why most people push their limits, and how financial education—or the lack of it—shapes outcomes. A major focus is the responsibility real estate and mortgage professionals carry when guiding buyers through decisions with decades-long consequences.The takeaway is simple: a 50-year mortgage isn't inherently good or bad. Like any financial tool, its impact depends on how well it's understood and how intentionally it's used.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyFollow The Color of Money on InstagramBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Recorded live at the 2025 MBA Annual in Las Vegas, this special episode of Market Pulse explores how down payment assistance programs can help unlock homeownership amid today's affordability challenges. Joel Rickman of Equifax sits down with Rob Chrane, Founder and CEO of Down Payment Resource, to discuss how lenders, real estate professionals, and technology can better connect buyers to thousands of available programs—and why awareness, education, and alignment are key to getting more families into homes.In this episode:What is down payment assistance, and how does it help homebuyers?Down payment assistance (DPA) includes grants, forgivable loans, and other programs that help cover down payments and closing costs. These programs can significantly reduce upfront cash requirements and make homeownership more accessible—especially for first-time buyers and middle-income households.How many down payment assistance programs exist today?According to Down Payment Resource's latest Homeownership Program Index, there are more than 2,600 active homeownership assistance programs nationwide, administered by over 1,300 state, local, and nonprofit organizations.Who qualifies for down payment assistance programs?Eligibility varies by program, but many programs serve more than just low-income buyers. Some programs:Have no household income limitsSupport middle-income and “missing middle” buyersApply to manufactured homes and multifamily (2–4 unit) propertiesAre available nationally or in high-cost housing marketsWhy don't more buyers use down payment assistance?The biggest barrier isn't funding—it's awareness. Many buyers (and even industry professionals) don't know these programs exist. Fragmentation, lack of standardization, and fear of complexity have historically limited adoption.How do lenders and loan officers use Down Payment Resource?Down Payment Resource provides tools that:Match borrowers and properties with eligible assistance programsIntegrate with loan origination systems (LOS)Surface vetted programs automatically during the lending processHelp lenders educate borrowers without adding operational burden

If you've ever thought the housing market is a circus, you're absolutely right – and Eric G and John Dudley are here to be your ringmasters. In this lively discussion, they tackle the pressing issue of affordable housing with a blend of sarcasm and insight that keeps you wondering whether to laugh or cry. They kick things off by exploring how we've managed to turn the American Dream into a nightmare where buying a home feels about as likely as spotting Bigfoot. With the average starter home growing from a paltry 983 square feet in 1950 to a whopping 2,500 square feet today, it's hard not to shake your head at our collective obsession with bigger is better. The hosts point out the nonsensical regulations that plague potential homeowners, from sky-high permit fees that feel like a fine for wanting to renovate your bathroom, to zoning laws that seem to have been written by someone who's never stepped foot in a neighborhood. They capture the sheer frustration of home improvement enthusiasts who just want to make their living spaces better – but instead, end up feeling like they're trying to navigate a minefield of bureaucratic nonsense. And let's not even get started on the absurdity of needing to plant trees just to remodel your kitchen! But don't worry, they haven't lost all hope. Eric and John lay out some practical solutions, suggesting we look at vacant commercial spaces as a viable option for affordable housing. Imagine turning that empty office building into a thriving community of affordable apartments! It's a win-win situation that could help address the housing crisis while utilizing existing structures. They challenge listeners to think critically about the real issues at play and inspire a grassroots movement to demand change. After all, if we don't start prioritizing affordable housing now, we might end up with a future where everyone is living in tiny homes – and not the cute ones, but the ones made out of shipping containers!Takeaways:The absurd rise in average house sizes from 983 square feet in 1950 to nearly 2500 square feet today is a key factor in the affordable housing crisis.Eric and John highlight the ridiculousness of needing a permit for a kitchen remodel to plant trees, exposing the absurdity of bureaucratic red tape.They explore how local government policies and urban growth boundaries are artificially inflating land prices, making homes unaffordable for many.The conversation points out that innovative housing solutions, such as converting empty office spaces into livable units, could greatly alleviate housing shortages.A major concern is the lack of trades training in schools, which leaves a gap in skilled labor and exacerbates the housing construction problem.The duo sarcastically critiques the excessive development fees and insane permit costs that contribute to skyrocketing housing prices, showcasing the need for reform.Links referenced in this episode:aroundthehouseonline.comamazon.comhomedepot.comCompanies...

The discussion covers low housing supply, rising rents, competition from investors, and the lack of entry level housing options.

Jacobson talks about building a 14-piece Neil Diamond tribute, its family roots, audience response, connections to Parkinson's charities, and why Neil Diamond's music continues to resonate across generations.

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com plunges listeners into a fast-moving, razor-sharp conversation about the future of AI, healthcare, education, and mental health. John Rush and guest Steve House unravel the myths and realities of artificial intelligence—asking whether we're facing a technological revolution or sleepwalking into unforeseen danger. Will AI become the greatest diagnostic tool in medical history, spotting disease earlier and cheaper than ever? Or will Big Pharma fight to keep control of the system AI threatens to expose? The hour also challenges America's failing education model. If AI can tailor learning to every student, why are we still trapped in a one-size-fits-all system designed for averages, not excellence? And what happens when deepfakes become indistinguishable from reality, or when AI avatars blur emotional and spiritual boundaries? John and Steve then tackle the more profound cultural questions: Why is European bread easier on the body than ours? Are we unintentionally creating a nation dependent on chronic disease? Has our mental health crisis worsened by constantly digging up the past instead of building a stronger future? Hour 1 mixes innovation, caution, and big-picture thinking—inviting listeners to ask: Are we ready for the world AI is about to create? HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason dives into one of the most misrepresented narratives in America: Are young people truly priced out of the housing market, or have expectations changed more than reality? With no guests this hour, John Rush takes calls, challenges the headlines, and breaks down why so many millennials believe homeownership is impossible—while others their age are quietly making it happen. Should a first-time buyer expect 2,400 square feet, designer finishes, and two new cars in the driveway? Or is the real path to wealth still found in sacrifice, fixer-uppers, and sweat equity? John dismantles the "can't afford a home" storyline by exposing the role of lifestyle inflation, comparison culture, and social media. He also reveals how Trump's newly lowered CAFE standards could immediately reduce the cost of new vehicles—something critics refuse to acknowledge. The hour ends with a look at Colorado's construction-defect law and its unintended consequence: wiping out starter condos that once made owning a home far more attainable. Hour 2 challenges everything you think you know about affordability, expectations, and building a life you can actually afford. HOUR 3 Hour 3 explodes with energy as John Rush and Jerzee Joe (https://www.youtube.com/@jerzeejoe3145) open with sharp cultural commentary, outrageous news stories, and a hard look at how the erosion of family structure is impacting crime, discipline, and society. Why are celebrities saying bizarre things? Why are harmless gun-range photos turning into arrests overseas? And what happens when statistics on fatherlessness collide with uncomfortable political truths? Then the hour pivots into a powerful economic deep dive with Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capitol (https://x.com/CScottGarliss), who reveals what the Federal Reserve may do next—and how a single decision could ignite or stall the entire U.S. economy. Will the Fed begin cutting rates? Could mortgage portability reshape home ownership? And is the housing market one bold policy away from roaring back to life? From government overreach to Fed strategy, from climate hysteria to bank stability, Hour 3 is packed with provocative questions, sharp analysis, and insights you won't hear anywhere else.

David devotes this week's Capital Record to the folly of the “game-changing” idea of a 50-year mortgage. He stands within first principles by allowing risk takers to freely transact, but points out the economic reality of how people who believe they get a cheaper house by paying for it over an extra 20 years are, well, wrong.

In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, host Nate Thurston discusses the current housing affordability crisis and former President Trump's proposal for 50-year mortgages. Nate examines the complexities and potential downsides of longer mortgage terms, emphasizing that the root problem lies in the supply and demand imbalance in the housing market.
