Everyone keeps asking the same question when it comes to buying a home — “What’s the rate?”
That question is costing people tens of thousands of dollars.

In this episode, we break down why waiting for lower rates isn’t a plan, what most renters are actually losing every year, and how buyers are using today’s market — including seller concessions and rate buy-downs — to win right now.

No fluff. No hype. Just real numbers, real strategy, and real talk about why the people waiting usually fall behind.

Realtors are losing deals in silence. Buyers get tagged by other agents, past clients refinance quietly, and homeowners prepare to sell long before reaching out. In this episode, I explain why this is happening and how I help realtors protect their pipeline using real data. Full dashboard walkthrough available on YouTube.

Most people have no clue how much a mortgage really costs them — and the banks like it that way. In this episode, Matt breaks down the truth about bank loans, broker loans, and why the interest you pay over time can make or break your financial future. If you’ve ever taken a loan, plan to buy a home, or just want to understand how the system actually works… this is the episode you don’t skip.

“Your bank hopes you never hear this. Let’s change that.”

What if your mortgage outlived you?

The latest housing buzz is the proposed 50-year mortgage — a loan designed to stretch payments across half a century, promising “affordability” in exchange for what could become a lifetime of debt.

In this episode of Real Talk with Matt, we dig deep into what’s really going on behind this idea:
– Why politicians and banks are suddenly pushing it
– How it could reshape (and possibly wreck) homeownership in America
– The real math behind the “lower payment” illusion
– And smarter, more realistic ways to actually fix housing affordability

Matt pulls no punches, calling out the economic games being played while everyday buyers are left holding the bag.

Is the 50-year mortgage a helping hand… or a financial trap?
