Midweek Mortgage & Market Report: Why It’s Go Time to Start Now, Start Small, Build Big 

By Eric Willner, Investor, Coach, and Host of The Real Estate Show, America’s longest running daily radio show about real estate.

 


Welcome to The Real Estate Show – South Florida’s #1 Real Estate Radio Show and America’s longest running daily radio show about real estate.

 

My name is Eric Willner, known as The Voice of Real Estate, founder of America’s longest running daily radio show about real estate, and creator of The Automatic Landlord System for Owning Cash Flowing Real Estate Profitably and Hassle-Free. This show is a virtual real estate seminar in every episode.

 

This is the Wednesday Midweek Mortgage & Market Report Edition of The Real Estate Show — where we bring you the most current mortgage rate trends, the latest market data, and the real estate news you can use to make smart decisions. And today, as we’ve been saying all week, the theme is simple but powerful: It’s Go Time! Start Small, But Start Now.

Everyone is in Real Estate

Here’s the truth I remind listeners of every week: everyone is in real estate.

Either you are IN real estate — you own it, you searched it, negotiated it, closed on it, and you enjoy the pride of ownership, tax benefits, and long-term appreciation.

Or, you are ON real estate — through direct rent payments, or indirectly by working for an employer who pays rent for your workplace. Either way, you are paying for real estate. The only question is: are you paying for someone else’s asset, or are they paying down yours?

Did You Know? Market Wake-Up Calls

  1. Did you know the national average 30-year fixed mortgage rate as of today, September 3, 2025, is 6.54% — the lowest level since October 2024? That’s real opportunity in disguise.
  2. Did you know that waiting just 12 months to buy instead of starting now could cost you $2,600 per year on a typical $340,000 loan — simply because you missed locking in a rate while it’s lower than the recent highs?
  3. Did you know that while overall mortgage demand has pulled back, refinance applications are up 20% year over year — meaning savvy homeowners are already taking advantage while others hesitate?

These are not just numbers — they are reminders that waiting costs money, while starting now builds wealth.

Today’s Show Focus

Today’s show is all about: It’s Go Time! Start Small, But Start Now.
And how understanding this theme — right now, in today’s market — is critical to having a plan that leads to real estate success.

?? Free Workshops

Before we dig deeper, let me remind you about our free educational opportunities:

  1. Path to Home Ownership Introduction – First and third Tuesdays at 8PM (Online, by invitation). Text PATH to 561-861-2366.
  2. Financial Edge Academy 101 Overview – Every Wednesday night at 8:30PM (Online, by invitation). Text EDGE to 561-861-2366.

Why? Because finances challenge most people. That’s why we’ve built a Financial Team with a simple 3-pronged approach:

  • Everyone should buy a house — become a homeowner.
  • Everyone should have that house in financial order with a written plan.
  • Everyone should own a business that pays them and gives them tax benefits.

That’s how you get your Financial Edge.

Top Trending Mortgage Topics

Here’s today’s update from Bankrate.com:

“On Wednesday, September 3, 2025, the current average interest rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage is 6.54%. For a 30-year refinance, it’s 6.79%. That’s the lowest level since early October 2024. Top offers are about 1.01% lower than the national average, translating into about $2,666 in annual savings on a $340,000 loan.”

The Fed has held its funds rate steady for the fifth consecutive meeting, but remember: the 10-year Treasury yield is the benchmark for mortgage rates. Right now, it’s sitting just below 4.4%.

 

?? Whether you need a mortgage now or later, preparation is everything. Get pre-qualified early. And don’t forget: Text LOAN to 561-861-2366 to connect with us directly.

 

Now, let’s take a look at this week’s top headline:

“Mortgage demand from homebuyers pulls back, after four weeks of gains.”

Key Points:

  • 30-year fixed mortgage average dropped to 6.64% from 6.69%.
  • Refinance applications rose 1% for the week, 20% year over year.
  • Purchase applications fell 3% week over week, but are still 17% higher than last year.
  • Average purchase loan size climbed to $433,400, the highest in two months.

My Take:
Even though rates dipped slightly, mortgage demand eased after a few strong weeks. Why? Affordability. Buyers today have more inventory than last year, but higher prices and lingering rate anxiety are slowing momentum.

Joel Kan of the MBA explained: “Purchase activity pulled back, after a four-week run of increases, as slower homebuying activity led to declines in applications across the various loan types.”

What does this mean for you? It means that right now, while others hesitate, you have a window of opportunity. Start small, start now, and get in before rates move again.

Senior Living Market: A Hidden Real Estate Boom

Headline: “The senior living market can’t keep up with demand as boomers age.”

Key Points:

  • Over 4 million boomers will hit 80 in the next 5 years.
  • Only ~4,000 new senior units are being developed annually, but the market needs 100,000 new beds per year through 2040.
  • Major REITs like Ventas are investing billions in senior housing, citing durable demand.

My Take in Plain English:
Senior living has always been overlooked, but it’s now one of the biggest hidden investment opportunities. Demand is skyrocketing — and supply can’t keep up. Occupancy rates are already climbing, and rents are rising at 5% annually.

As Ventas CEO Deb Cafaro said: “I’ve never seen this combination of investment characteristics in my career. The demand tailwinds are incredibly strong and durable.”

This is what I call a real estate certainty. The baby boomers are aging — millions will require senior housing, and the market is nowhere near prepared. That’s opportunity for investors, builders, and innovators who start now.

Summary of Today’s Show

Let’s wrap today’s Midweek Report with 5 quick takeaways:

  1. Mortgage rates dipped to 6.54% — lowest since Oct 2024.
  2. Refinance demand is up 20% year over year, showing smart owners are acting.
  3. Purchase applications eased, but remain 17% higher than last year — buyers are still in the game.
  4. Senior living is a hidden boom sector — massive demand, constrained supply, strong investment returns.
  5. The theme remains: It’s Go Time! Start Small, But Start Now. Don’t wait, act.

?? Closing

That’s a wrap for today’s Wednesday Midweek Mortgage & Market Report Edition of The Real Estate Show.

Tomorrow, don’t miss our ATM Edition – About The Money, where we dig deeper into financing strategies, tax savings, and the money side of real estate investing.

Stop Waiting! Tools and Techniques to Begin Your Real Estate Journey Today

By Eric Willner, Investor, Coach, and Host of The Real Estate Show, America’s longest running daily radio show about real estate.

Tuesday Tools, Tips, and Techniques – It’s Go Time! Start Small, But Start Now!

?? Opening
Welcome to The Real Estate Show – South Florida’s #1 Real Estate Radio Show and America’s longest running daily radio show about real estate.
My name is Eric Willner, known as The Voice of Real Estate, founder of America’s longest running daily radio show about real estate, and creator of The Automatic Landlord System for Owning Cash Flowing Real Estate Profitably and Hassle-Free.
It’s a virtual real estate seminar in every episode.

Provocative “Did You Know” Questions

Let me start with a few wake-up call statistics:

  1. Did you know that nearly 65% of Americans still live paycheck to paycheck, while homeowners, on average, build 44 times more wealth than renters over their lifetime?
  2. Did you know that renters often face credit scores 40 to 60 points lower than homeowners — because ownership itself builds financial responsibility and credit leverage?
  3. Did you know that every year you wait to buy, you may be losing tens of thousands of dollars in equity growth and rental savings?

These are just a few of the alarming statistics about the current market. It’s important to be aware of the challenges you face so you can plan accordingly.

Remember: everyone is in real estate.
Either you are IN real estate — you own it, you negotiated it, you closed on it, and you reap the pride and benefits.
Or, you are ON real estate — paying someone else’s mortgage through rent or even indirectly through your employer’s rent.

Which side do you want to be on?

Theme Framing

Today’s Tuesday edition is all about Tools, Tips, and Techniques. And our theme this week is: It’s Go Time! Start Small, But Start Now.

Yesterday, on Monday On A Mission, I gave you 10 reasons why starting small now beats waiting. Today, let’s break those reasons down into 9 actionable steps you can start working on this week.

Because our mission on this show is to transform lives through affordable housing — to empower, educate, and enable families and individuals to enjoy the American Dream of homeownership.

Reminder: The 3 Types of Income

Before we dive into the tools, let’s remember something critical:

  1. Direct or Active Income – you trade hours for dollars.
  2. Indirect or Semi-Active Income – side hustles, commissions, and bonuses.
  3. Passive or Residual Income – cash flow that comes in, whether you’re working or not.

We all start with active income, but the goal of real estate is to build enough passive income so you can retire — or do what you want, when you want.

?? Actionable Steps – 9 Tools & Techniques

1. Track Your Time Advantage

Action: Start now. The earlier you enter, the longer compounding, appreciation, and loan amortization work for you. Even if it’s just a small condo, the clock starts ticking in your favor.

2. Build Confidence Through Small Wins

Action: Take a first manageable step — buy a small rental, invest in a duplex, or partner on a deal. Each small step teaches lessons that build confidence for larger deals.

3. Learn from Affordable Mistakes

Action: Start where mistakes cost less. A smaller property lets you make adjustments without losing your shirt. Think of it as tuition for your financial education.

4. Generate Early Cash Flow

Action: Aim for a property that cash flows, even modestly. That $100–$200/month is proof your investment is working and it builds momentum for your next purchase.

5. Leverage Relationships with Professionals

Action: Realtors, lenders, contractors, and mentors will treat you differently once you’re in the game. Starting small earns you credibility and builds your network.

6. Force Wealth through Equity

Action: Every mortgage payment pays down debt while property values rise. Starting now creates forced savings — and builds wealth automatically.

7. Position Yourself for Opportunities

Action: Opportunities come fast. When you’re already an investor, lenders and sellers take you more seriously. Being in the game means you’re ready for the next deal.

8. Hedge Against Inflation

Action: Inflation eats savings, but real estate rides the wave. Rents and property values rise with inflation, protecting your money and creating wealth in the process.

9. Shift Your Identity from Renter to Investor

Action: The moment you close on your first property, you’re no longer a spectator. You’re an investor. That shift in identity changes how you think, act, and decide.

Tools to Help You Succeed

Let’s go deeper into today’s Tools & Techniques for achieving your real estate goals.

  1. Experts Teaching Real Estate Ownership – Surround yourself with mentors and voices of experience. Don’t reinvent the wheel.
  2. Path to Homeownership Free Workshops – Tuesday nights at 8PM. Hands-on strategies for getting started.
  3. Financial Calculators – Use mortgage, rent vs. buy, and cash flow calculators. Numbers take the emotion out of decisions.
  4. A Financial Plan – Real estate isn’t random. Set goals, map the path, and stick to it.

Remember: your retirement future begins NOW.

“If not now, when?
If not THIS, what?
If not you, who?”

Why Starting Small in Real Estate Today Beats Waiting for Someday

By Eric Willner, Investor and Host of The Real Estate Show, America’s longest running daily radio show about real estate.

 

Monday On A Mission – It’s Go Time! Start Small, But Start Now!

Welcome to The Real Estate Show hosted by me, Eric Willner, known as the Voice of Real Estate and founder of America’s longest running daily radio show about real estate.

?? Did You Know? (Wake-Up Call)

Let’s start today with a few “Did you know?” questions that should serve as a wake-up call:

  1. Did you know that the average American household carries over $100,000 in combined debt, and much of it earns zero return? Yet those same households could be building wealth if they shifted even a small percentage of those payments into real estate investments.
  2. Did you know that over 60% of Americans don’t even have $1,000 in savings for an emergency — yet the average homeowner in the U.S. has over $300,000 in net worth tied to their real estate?
  3. Did you know that those who start investing earlier — even with just one small property — are twice as likely to achieve financial independence before retirement than those who wait for “someday”?

These “Did you know” questions are not just trivia — they’re a wake-up call. They highlight the very real challenges Americans face with debt, financial illiteracy, and procrastination. But they also show the opportunity — the chance to break free from financial stress by starting now.

?? Framing Today’s Mission

Welcome to The Real Estate Show, hosted by me, Eric Willner, the Voice of Real Estate, founder of America’s longest running daily radio show about real estate, and creator of The Automatic Landlord System for Owning Cash Flowing Real Estate Profitably and Hassle-Free.

It’s a virtual real estate seminar in every episode.

Since July 1st, we’ve been talking about what I would do if I were starting — or starting over — in real estate. We’ve already covered the first five crucial steps:

  1. Get Financially Educated
  2. Know My Credit and Fix It Up
  3. Create a Personal Financial Statement
  4. Set Clear Investment Goals
  5. Identify My Real Estate Strategy

And today, we hit the next step: It’s Go Time! Start Small, But Start Now!

?? Why This Week Matters

Today is the “Monday On A Mission” Edition of The Real Estate Show, where we set the tone and momentum for the week.

This week we’re diving deep into financial optimization — how to:

  • Manage and reduce taxes,
  • Cut down debt strategically,
  • Use investment strategies to grow wealth, and
  • Even leverage your home as a business asset.

Because here’s the truth: Everyone is in real estate. Either you are IN real estate because you own it, negotiated it, closed on it, and benefit from it — or you’re ON real estate because you pay rent directly, or you work for someone who does. Either way, your money is connected to real estate.

The question is: are you paying someone else’s mortgage, or are others paying down yours?

?? Free Workshops

Before we get into the meat of today’s show, let me remind you of this week’s free workshops:

  1. Tuesday 8PM – Path To Home Ownership Introduction (Online by invitation — text “PATH”).
  2. Wednesday 8:30PM – Financial Edge Academy Live Session (Online by invitation — text “EDGE”).
  3. Thursday 8:30PM – Financial Edge Master Class (Available to those who attended Wednesday).

You want to attend these free online workshops because real estate requires skill, strategy, adaptability, and determination. These sessions give you the knowledge and support to cross the finish line successfully.

?? It’s Go Time! 10 Reasons to Start Small, But Start Now

Here are ten reasons why you must stop waiting and start taking action, even if it’s small:

  1. Time is Your Greatest Asset – The earlier you start, the more time you give compounding and appreciation to work for you. Waiting costs you years of potential equity.
  2. Small Steps Build Confidence – Buying your first property teaches lessons that books and seminars can’t. Even a small condo or duplex provides real-world experience.
  3. The Market Rewards Action – Deals go to those ready to move. Pre-approved buyers and prepared investors always win.
  4. Mistakes Are Cheaper Early – Your first deals may not be perfect, but small starts keep mistakes manageable while you gain experience.
  5. Cash Flow is Cash Flow – Even $100/month in positive cash flow means the property pays you — and builds momentum toward bigger deals.
  6. You Build Relationships by Doing – Brokers, lenders, and property managers take you seriously once you’re in the game. Starting small opens those doors.
  7. Equity is Forced Savings – Every mortgage payment reduces debt while property values rise. Even small starts create forced wealth-building.
  8. Opportunities Don’t Wait – If you don’t move now, someone else will. Markets shift quickly, but prepared investors always have an edge.
  9. Real Estate Beats Inflation – Property values and rents tend to rise with inflation, protecting your wealth while other assets lose purchasing power.
  10. You Change Your Identity – The moment you own property, you’re no longer a spectator — you’re an investor. That mindset shift changes everything.

?? Roadblocks to Financial Independence — and How to Break Them

Now, let’s address the four major roadblocks keeping people  stuck. And the good news is: by starting small but starting now, you can break through each one.

Roadblock #1: Government and Taxes

Taxes are your single largest lifetime expense. Real estate provides legal tax advantages through deductions, depreciation, and capital gains planning. Start small — and start taking advantage.

Roadblock #2: Interest and Finance Charges

High-interest debt steals wealth daily. By shifting payments from credit cards to mortgage-backed debt on appreciating assets, you turn bad debt into wealth-building leverage.

Roadblock #3: Uncontrolled Monthly Bills

Most people don’t realize how much “leakage” drains their income — subscriptions, inflated utilities, overspending. A small start in real estate forces financial discipline and redirects money into productive assets.

Roadblock #4: Inflation — the Silent Killer

Inflation erodes savings and fixed incomes. But real estate rents and values usually rise with inflation, making property ownership one of the best inflation hedges.

When you start small, but start now, you win against all four roadblocks.
