The average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage fell 65bp between the beginning of June to the end of September, causing a mini refinancing boom from those who initially borrowed closer to this cycle's peak rates. Most borrowers still have mortgages with rates well below the current market rate, however, reinforcing the “mortgage lock” that has stifled housing market churn over the last few years. The Fed's policy path and longer-term interest rates will determine whether the housing market continues to thaw and how much prepayment risk there is for MBS investors. In this episode, we talk with Walt Schmidt, Manager of Mortgage Strategies with FHN Financial, about what's caused the recent decline in mortgage rates, what to expect for MBS prepayments in the coming months, and whether another refinance boom is on the horizon.

Big changes are here for student loans—and if you're a doctor, student, or high-debt professional, this episode could save you thousands. Dr. Disha Spath sits down with Aaron Smith, co-founder of Savi and longtime student loan policy advocate, to break down the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and what it really means for your financial future. Aaron has worked with the Department of Education, Congress, and the White House—and he's carried student debt himself. Together, he and Dr. Disha unravel the brand-new Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP), the elimination of Grad PLUS loans, and how these reforms reshape repayment strategies, PSLF, and refinancing decisions. Key Topics Covered: 1. The Big Beautiful Bill, Simplified What's changing in federal student loan repayment. Which repayment plans are gone, and the details behind RAP. 2. RAP vs. Current Plans Why RAP bases payments on gross income. Why locking into an income-driven repayment plan before 2026 could be a smart move. 3. PSLF Stays Strong  The good news: PSLF wasn't touched by the new law. How to avoid errors with employer certification and payment tracking. 4. Goodbye Grad PLUS Loans How cutting Grad PLUS reshapes graduate and medical school financing. What rising reliance on private loans means for lower-income students. 5. Smart Moves for Current Borrowers How to maximize forgiveness and avoid costly mistakes. Critical timelines for choosing your repayment plan. 6. Should You Refinance? When private refinancing could save you money—and when it locks you out of forgiveness forever. What falling interest rates might mean for borrowers in 2025–2026. 7. Employer Support & Advocacy How hospitals, universities, and employers are stepping up with student loan benefits. Why employer advocacy is helping expand PSLF eligibility. Listener Takeaways: Act before July 2026: Enroll in an income-driven plan now to keep your options open. PSLF is safe—but annual employer certification is key to avoiding lost credits. Future grad students beware: With Grad PLUS gone, private loans will change the game. Refinancing is final: weigh lower interest rates against losing federal protections. Stay plugged in—loan policy is shifting fast, and being proactive could save you years of payments.

Crash or Crack? Zillow's Legal Storm, CoStar Feud & Housing Market Mayhem FTC slaps Zillow & Redfin with an antitrust lawsuit The FTC accuses Zillow of paying Redfin $100 million to exit the rental advertising space, shutting down competition for nearly a decade. Redfin allegedly gave up ad partnerships, helped Zillow poach employees, and agreed to syndicate only Zillow's listings. What's at stake: advertising pricing power, renters' choice, and whether Big Tech in real estate just got too big. CoStar strikes back: Zillow accused of rampant photo theft CoStar claims Zillow unlawfully used more than 46,000 of its copyrighted photos — even with watermarks — across Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com syndication networks. Zillow has already started removing images at the center of the case. This could become one of the largest copyright battles the real estate industry has ever seen.

What this means for agents, buyers & markets going forward We break down the legal risks, competitive threats, and strategic pivots needed to survive in a volatile real estate tech era — plus some bold predictions for what comes next.

In this episode of Money on My Mind, I dive into 17 powerful budgeting rules of thumb that will give you a clear roadmap for managing your money—whether you're just getting started or looking to refine your financial game.   From how much of your income should go toward a mortgage or rent, to the 50/30/20 rule, emergency funds, cars, student loans, and even how to handle windfalls, these are the guidelines that will keep you on track without overcomplicating things. I also share how these rules evolve as you build real wealth and why financial freedom often changes the “game” you're playing.   This is practical, actionable advice that you can apply today to build discipline, avoid common money traps, and set yourself up for long-term success.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 00:53 Rule #1: Mortgage payment ≤ 25% of take-home pay (exceptions up to 30%) 03:01 Rule #2: Home price = 3–5x annual gross income 03:37 Rule #3: Refinance if rates drop ≥ 1% 04:20 Rule #4: Save 1% of home value annually for maintenance 05:10 Rule #5: Rent ≤ 25% of take-home pay 05:44 Rule #6: Pay off debt vs. invest: when each makes sense 06:55 Rule #7: Total debt ≤ 36% of gross income (DTI ratio) 07:22 Rule #8: Student loans ≤ starting salary 08:00 Rule #9: Cars: cash preferred, or follow the 20/4/10 rule 09:17 Rule #10: Lifetime cost of a car = 3x sticker price 11:11 Rule #11: Replace car when repairs > car's value 11:46 Rule #12: Emergency fund = 3–6 months of expenses 12:52 Rule #13: The 50/30/20 rule: needs, wants, and savings/investments 13:35 Rule #14: The 30-day rule for big purchases 14:14 Rule #15: Food budget = 10–15% of gross income 15:10 Rule #16: Windfalls: spend 1–5% on fun, invest the rest toward goals 16:37 Rule #17: Estimate annual income: hourly wage × 2, add 3 zeros 17:32 Why these rules matter more in the beginning stages of wealth building 18:00 How financial freedom changes the rules beyond budgeting basics 21:53 Final thoughts: mastering each stage of wealth and knowing when to level up   Quotables   “If you can stay within these rules of thumb, you're going to do really, really well—even if you're not perfect.”   “A mortgage should be a blessing, not a curse.”   “Discipline is what separates those who win with money from those who struggle.”   Links   The Roadmap to Financial Freedom https://budgetdogacademy.com/order-now   Budgetdog https://budgetdog.com

The Federal Reserve has finally cut rates. Will mortgage rates follow? If you've been waiting to rate lock or refinance, is now the time, or does the market think we have even further to fall?  With inflation coming down from past years' peaks and unemployment slowly ticking up, the Fed made the decision everyone was waiting for: cut rates…cautiously.
