Friday Wrap-Up: From Credit to Closing: Your Weekly Real Estate & Mortgage Market Recap!

By Eric Willner, Investor 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. It’s a virtual mini-seminar in every episode!

This week, we’ve been talking about one of the most critical elements of real estate success: Get Great Credit, Secure a Great Lender, and Maximize Your Real Estate Success.

It’s Friday, and that means it’s time for our Friday Weekly Wrap-Up—where we bring together the key insights from this week's shows so you can make smarter moves in real estate.

This week, we’ve been diving into the critical theme:
“Get Great Credit, Secure a Great Lender & Maximize Your Real Estate Success.”

Today, we’re going to break it all down, summarize the most important takeaways, and set you up for next week’s opportunities!

 But first—Did you know?

1. Mortgage applications for home purchases rose 1% last week, marking the highest demand in nearly two months!
2. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate dropped slightly to 6.71%, with FHA applications surging by 6% as buyers take advantage of better opportunities.
3. Refinance applications fell 5% last week—but were 63% higher than last year, showing that homeowners are strategically refinancing at lower rates!

On Monday, we set the foundation for this week’s mission—understanding the power of credit and why securing a great lender is key to your real estate success.

Key Takeaways:
 Credit is King: Your credit score determines your interest rate, loan approval, and overall affordability in real estate.
 Lenders Have Different Rules: Not all lenders are created equal. Knowing which lender fits your strategy can save you tens of thousands over time.
 The Time to Prepare is NOW: Waiting costs money. Get pre-approved, build credit, and lock in favorable terms before market shifts.

[THURSDAY] "Thursday ATM – About The Money" – Your Path to Financial Freedom

On Thursday, we talked strategy, cash flow, and financial independence through real estate.

 The Path to Wealth:
 Your "B" Funds Your "I": Use business income (B) to fund your investments (I)—that’s the secret to financial freedom!
 Escaping the Employee Mindset: Fear keeps many people trapped as employees. But real estate ownership can break the cycle.
 Multiple Streams of Income: Real estate creates cash flow, equity growth, tax advantages, and wealth transfer opportunities.

 Real estate is the best vehicle to advance financially, no matter if you’re an Employee (E), Self-Employed (S), Business Owner (B), or Investor (I).
