It’s a New Year—Time to Make Things Happen: Monday On A Mission with Eric Willner
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 a New Year! It’s Time to Make Things Happen!
Happy New Year—and welcome back to The Real Estate Show, a literal seminar in every episode.
We are kicking off a brand-new year with clarity, urgency, and purpose—because this is not the year to drift. This is the year to decide. To design. To do.
Before we go any further, let me ask you three provocative “Did You Know?” questions, using the reality of today’s market as a wake-up call:
Did you know that most Americans can afford their rent—but not a mortgage—because of debt decisions made years ago that no one ever taught them how to fix?
Did you know that households with a written financial plan are far more likely to build wealth—yet fewer than one in three Americans actually has one?
Did you know that real estate remains one of the only investments that can produce income, appreciation, tax advantages, and leverage at the same time—yet most people never position themselves to benefit from all four?
These “Did You Know?” questions aren’t meant to scare you. They’re meant to wake you up. To inspire you to think differently. To shine a light on the very real challenges people face with debt, rising costs, and uncertainty—and to open the door to solutions.
Because this show is about setting yourself up for success and taking the right steps toward financial independence.
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. I’m also the 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.
THE RESET
On January 1st, we officially hit the RESTART button.
We revisited the foundational actions I would take if I were starting—or starting over—in real estate investing:
And now we arrive at the next step:
Today is the Monday On A Mission Edition of The Real Estate Show—where we focus on momentum, mindset, and mission. And today we’re continuing to talk about why NOW is the time to buy real estate, using the theme:
Today’s show is about why you need to know that, and how understanding this moment—this market, this economy, this timing—can completely change your real estate and financial future.
This week, we’ll be discussing strategies to optimize Real Estate and your finances, including:
Knowing how these pieces fit together isn’t optional anymore—it’s essential to real estate and financial success.
WORKSHOP REMINDERS
Before we get into the meat of today’s show, let me remind you about this week’s FREE online workshops:
You want to attend these workshops because real estate requires skill, strategy, adaptability, and determination. This isn’t about luck. It’s about preparation.
EVERYONE IS IN REAL ESTATE
Let’s get one thing straight.
Everyone is in real estate.
You’re either IN real estate because you own it—you searched it, negotiated it, closed on it, and now enjoy the pride of ownership and the benefits that come with it…
Or you are ON real estate—paying rent directly, or indirectly paying for the rent of the business you work for.
The question is not if you’re involved.The question is how.
And the road to financial victory may not be straight—but it is absolutely worth traveling. Take that journey with us.
This week in our workshops, we’re going to show you why:
And then—we’re going to tell you what to do.
Here are 10 reasons why this mindset matters right now:
Each of these reasons matters because doing nothing is a decision—and it’s usually the most expensive one.
You can turn debt into wealth in real estate.Change your financial picture.Start by texting the word CREDIT to 561-861-2366.
THE FOUR ROADBLOCKS (INTRO)
Now let’s talk about the four major roadblocks to financial independence—and how deciding “It’s a New Year! It’s Time to Make Things Happen!” helps you overcome them.
Let’s finish strong.
When you address the four major roadblocks to financial independence with intention and strategy—you win.
Roadblock #1: Government & Taxes
Most people overpay in taxes because they don’t understand how real estate and business ownership work together. When you make things happen, you stop reacting at tax time and start planning year-round.
Roadblock #2: Interest & Finance Charges
High interest isn’t the enemy—mismanaged interest is. When you act, you restructure debt, improve credit, and position yourself to borrow smarter, not harder.
Roadblock #3: Uncontrolled Monthly Bills
Bills don’t shrink on their own. Action creates budgets, systems, and income streams that stabilize your cash flow.
Roadblock #4: Inflation – The Silent Killer
Inflation punishes savers and rewards owners. Real estate hedges inflation through rent growth, appreciation, and tax benefits—but only if you step in the game.
When you address these four roadblocks head-on—by taking action—you don’t just survive. You build.
Let me remind you again:
TODAY’S SUMMARY
Today’s show was about momentum. About recognizing that a new year isn’t magic—but decisions are. When you choose to act, to plan, to learn, and to position yourself correctly, real estate becomes the vehicle that moves you toward freedom instead of fear.
CLOSING
Tomorrow is our Tuesday Tools, Tips, and Techniques Edition of The Real Estate Show. You will not want to miss the actionable resources and insights designed to help you profit and succeed in today’s real estate world.
Thank you for listening—but don’t just listen.
Use this show.Let it move you.Let it guide you.Let it change your life.
Tune in every weekday to The Real Estate Show—a literal seminar in every episode.
And don’t forget to attend our free online workshops. Text EDGE to 561-861-2366.
It’s a new year.
Now it’s time to make things happen.

Friday Weekly Wrap-Up: Reviewing 2025 So You Can Win Bigger in Real Estate in 2026
The Real Estate Show – Friday Weekly Wrap-Up Edition
Theme: Let’s Review the Year Behind Us and Make the Best of the Year Ahead of Us
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, and I’m your host, Eric Willner — The Voice of Real Estate, creator of The Automatic Landlord System for owning cash-flowing real estate profitably and hassle-free.
This week’s shows have all centered around one powerful, timely idea:
Let’s review the year behind us and make the best of the year ahead of us.
And today — Friday — is where we bring it all together.
Today we’ll summarize each day’s highlights, wrap up the week, and most importantly, set you up for success in real estate next week — and next year.
2. Engagement Hook – “Did You Know?”
Before we recap the week, let me hit you with three eye-opening “Did You Know?” questions tied directly to this week’s theme:
Did you know that people who intentionally review their finances once per year are more than twice as likely to reduce debt and invest within the next 12 months?
Did you know that the majority of first-time real estate investors who succeed don’t start with perfect credit or massive savings — they start with clarity, education, and a plan?
Did you know that most people don’t fail financially because they made bad decisions — they fail because they never reviewed the decisions they made?
That’s why this week mattered.
You don’t improve what you don’t inspect — and real estate rewards those who review, adjust, and act.
3. Workshop Announcements – What’s Next
Before we recap each day, let me remind you of next week’s FREE online workshops, because information without action is entertainment — and we don’t do entertainment here.
And don’t forget — if you want to jump-start momentum, join our 72-Hour Challenge by texting:
CHALLENGE to 561-861-2366
Because momentum is built before the crowd moves — not after.
4. Weekly Theme Expansion – Why This Week Mattered
Why was this week’s theme so critical?
Because review creates direction, and direction creates results.
Here are five reasons why reviewing the year behind you is essential for real estate success:
Ultimately, the goal is financial freedom.
And to get there, you need:
The Real Estate Show can be your road map — but the key is, you must start NOW.
5. Why People Stay Stuck
Let’s talk honestly.
Most people stay stuck because they remain trapped in the employee mindset:
They don’t lack motivation — they lack structure.
Fear, confusion, and lack of knowledge keep people frozen.That’s why this show exists — to replace fear with clarity and confusion with strategy.
When you understand money, credit, and real estate, confidence follows.

7. Daily Summaries – The Week in Review
Monday – On a Mission
Monday was about setting the tone.
We launched the week by pressing the reset button and reminding everyone that reviewing the past year isn’t about regret — it’s about leverage.
We talked about why Mondays are about momentum, and how reviewing your finances, credit, and decisions gives you control over the year ahead.
Key Monday Takeaways:
If you don’t decide where you’re going, the calendar (and Others) decides for you.
If you missed Monday’s “On A Mission” launch, here’s what you need to know:We set the tone for the week with a mission-driven theme — “Let’s review the year behind us and make the best of the year ahead of us.” Why? Because wealth isn’t random — it’s the result of reflection, planning, direction, and execution.
On Monday we broke down why most people stay stuck financially — not because real estate is unavailable, not because money is impossible to find — but because they never look backward long enough to move forward intentionally.We shared 10 powerful reasons that reviewing your financial year is the gateway to growth: from uncovering hidden money leaks, to recalibrating goals, to revealing old habits that block progress, to realigning your investment plan with market timing. The key takeaway — knowledge without reflection becomes noise. But reflection converts knowledge into power.
We then unpacked how real estate positions you to fight inflation, reduce taxes, and convert debt to equity — if and only if you engineer your next steps.The four major roadblocks — taxes, interest, uncontrolled monthly bills, and inflation — don’t disappear by ignoring them.But when you review the past year, adjust your plan, and use real estate intentionally, those same roadblocks become steppingstones.
We reminded listeners that everyone is in real estate — you either own it, or you pay those who do.And we emphasized that if you want to make the year ahead your best financial year ever, you must actively engineer it — beginning with a clear-eyed review of the year behind you.
Want to get started? Don’t just listen — take action.Text CREDIT to 561-861-2366 to begin repairing or optimizing your financial picture.And text EDGE to join our free weekly workshops — the pathway to skill, clarity, and financial momentum.
That was Monday — and it set the arc for the entire week.
==
Tuesday – Tools, Tips & Techniques
Tuesday was all about execution.
We took Monday’s reflection and turned it into actionable tools, including:
? Past-Year Takeaways: The strongest investors weren’t the ones who guessed right — they were the ones who tracked, reviewed, and adjusted.
? Key Market Insight: Homeownership continues to be the #1 tool for stability; renters face rising costs without equivalent upside.
? Behavioral Finding: Most financial pain came not from bad investments—but from no investments, no plan, or no review.
? Action Focus: Clean up debt, fix credit, write a plan, choose a strategy, and get in motion before the new year resets the scoreboard.
? Real Estate Advantage: Ownership converts living expenses into wealth, tax advantages, and leverage—rent never will.
? Workshops: Weekly “Path to Home Ownership” and “Financial Edge Academy” sessions prepare buyers and investors to act early.
? CTA: Text EDGE to 561-861-2366 — the fastest step to financial clarity and strategy.
We reminded listeners that there are three types of income:
And real estate lives in Passive, where freedom is built.
Tuesday Tools & Strategies:
Tuesday was the bridge between thinking and doing.
Wednesday – Midweek Mortgage & Market Report
Wednesday grounded us in market reality.
We reviewed:
· On Wednesday, December 31, 2025, the current average interest rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage is 6.20%. If you're in the market for a mortgage refinance, today's average 30-year refinance interest rate is 6.62%. - another flat week.
·
· Essentially flat .
· Since mortgage rates hit a 2025 low of 6.25% in late October, they haven’t changed much.
· In the days leading up to Christmas, all eyes in the mortgage market were on the delayed release of third-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) numbers. That report, which came from the Commerce Department on Tuesday, said the U.S. economy expanded at a surprisingly strong 4.3% in the summer months.
· What does that mean for mortgage rates? The old saw is that good economic news boosts mortgage rates, while bad economic news pushes them down.
· “As good economic news is released — such as the 4.3% GDP numbers prior to the government shutdown — money will flow back into the stock market and away from bonds,” says Derek Egeberg, senior loan officer at MortgageOne in Yuma, Ariz. “Watch for rates to increase over this entire holiday season as investors still see opportunities and gains in the stock market and less of a need to shelter money in bonds, aka mortgages.”
Home prices are getting slightly more affordable, but down payments are still holding buyers back”
Then reword the list of 3 key points. Then using the article below write a 15 minute summary in my voice explaining why it relates to the theme of today.
Reword in my voice these Key Points:
The big takeaway?Waiting for perfect conditions costs more than preparing early.
Mortgage rates remain historically reasonable, inventory is shifting, and buyers who prepare now will benefit when competition heats up.
Wednesday Market Insights:
The market doesn’t reward hesitation — it rewards readiness.
Thursday – ATM: About The Money
Thursday we talked money — real money.
We addressed the hard truth:
Wealth is not accidental. It’s engineered.
We broke down why “get rich quick” schemes fail most people and why real estate continues to outperform hype-driven strategies.
We discussed:
And we reinforced my three deep beliefs:
Thursday Takeaways:
8. Second Sponsorship CTA – ¾ Point

9. Conclusion – TGIF Wrap-Up
Alright — let’s wrap this up Friday-style.
TGIF = Thank Goodness It’s FridayTGIF = Thank Goodness I’m Financially PreparedTGIF = Thank Goodness It’s Florida — the best market in America!
This week wasn’t about hype.It was about reflection, strategy, and action.

Review. Reset. Rise: How Real Estate Helps You Win the Year Ahead
By Eric Willner, Investor, Coach, and Host of The Real Estate Show, America’s longest running daily radio show about real estate.
The Real Estate Show – Tuesday Tools, Tips & Techniques
Theme: Let’s review the year behind us and make the best of the year ahead of us
INTRODUCTION
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, and founder of America’s longest running daily radio show about real estate and also the creator of The Automatic Landlord System for owning cash flowing real estate profitably and hassle-free.As always, this is a virtual real estate seminar in every episode.
OPENING
Today’s theme is:“Let’s review the year behind us and make the best of the year ahead of us.”
Before we dig in, let me begin with three fresh “Did you know?” questions that should make you stop and think:
Did you know… that nearly 57% of Americans who said they’d buy a home in the last year never took a single measurable step toward it—not even building their credit or reviewing their finances?
Did you know… that over $1.3 trillion in revolving consumer debt now sits on credit cards alone, while nearly 40% of that debt could have been eliminated through better financial planning and refinancing options available through homeownership?
Did you know… that renters are now spending an average of 31% of their income on housing, while homeowners—after the first 10 years of amortization—often spend under 13% thanks to fixed interest and equity buildup?
These are not just statistics—they are signals.These numbers tell us that the best way to move forward is to look back—to review what we did, what we didn’t do, what worked, what didn’t, and then engineer a better financial year ahead.
Because whether you realize it or not…
Everyone is IN real estate.You either OWN IT, or you pay those who do.
WHY THIS MATTERS ?
Today is Tuesday Tools, Tips, and Techniques, where we take Monday’s theme and turn it into tools you can use.
Remember, our mission is to transform lives through affordable housing—to empower, educate, and enable families and individuals to enjoy the American Dream of homeownership.
There are three types of income:
Every one of us starts in Active.The goal is to graduate into Passive—where real estate lives.
So today we take yesterday’s top 10 reasons to review the year behind you and turn them into 9 actionable steps—actions that lead to real estate success in the year ahead.
ACTIONABLE STEPS — TURNING REVIEW INTO RESULTS
These are 9 steps taken from yesterday’s show—but now, we turn them into action.
Step 1 — Review Your Financial Wins and Losses
Look at every major expense, investment, and income source from the year.Ask: What paid me? What drained me? What needs to change?The past is a mirror—use it to correct your financial posture.
Step 2 — Create or Update Your Personal Financial Statement
This one sheet reveals what banks see—your net worth story.You cannot grow wealth without knowing where your dollars live.
Step 3 — Diagnose Your Credit
Pull a report, dispute errors, lower utilization.Every 10-point improvement opens new doors in real estate funding.
Step 4 — Review Your Monthly Bills
Subscriptions, insurance, utilities—trim fat to redirect dollars toward assets.Small leaks sink big ships.
Step 5 — Reassess Your Income Streams
How much of your income is active vs. passive?The more passive income you create, the sooner freedom becomes reality.
Step 6 — Identify Tax Advantages You Missed
Did you track mileage, depreciation, repairs, home office usage?Every legitimate deduction is fuel for future investment.
Step 7 — Reevaluate Your Real Estate Strategy
Flipping? Renting? BRRRR? House hacking?Pick the lane that aligns with your time, capital, and goals.
Step 8 — Reset Your Investment Goals with S.M.A.R.T Clarity
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-bound.If your goals don’t live on paper, they won’t live in your life.
Step 9 — Take Your First Step This Week
A review without action is a regret in waiting.
And speaking of action…
“Today’s Show is Brought to You By: TimeFixMyCredit.com — text the word CREDIT.”Because financial repair isn’t a maybe… it’s a must.
“You’re listening to The Real Estate Show — South Florida’s #1 Real Estate Radio Show. Station identification break. We’ll be right back.”
SECOND HALF — TOOLS FOR THE YEAR AHEAD
Now that we’ve reviewed the steps…let’s equip you with resources to apply them.
Because there is a difference between:
Today we’re talking systems.
Tool #1 — Expert Coaching on Profitable Homeownership
Real estate is a team sport.Surround yourself with people who’ve done what you want to do—who can help you avoid the expensive mistakes.
Tool #2 — The Path to Home Ownership Workshops
These free sessions show you:
Text Path to 561-861-2366 to access the next class.
Tool #3 — Financial Calculators

Tool #4 — The Written Financial Plan

If not now, when?If not this, what?If not you… who?

People don’t fail from lack of desire.They fail from lack of direction.

Review. Reset. Rebuild: Why Your Best Financial Year Starts Now — Monday On A Mission
“Monday On A Mission” — Let’s Review the Year Behind Us & Make the Best of the Year Ahead of Us
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.
Let’s begin today with three powerful, reflective Did You Know? questions that set the tone for our mission:
Did you know that nearly 70% of Americans never review their financial year, leaving money, opportunities, and wealth-building strategies on the table—year after year?
Did you know the average American household paid over $6,000 in interest alone over the past 12 months—yet most don’t recognize that interest, debt, and inflation silently sabotage their wealth potential more than any market downturn?
Did you know that people who intentionally review the year behind them are 80% more likely to reduce debt, increase savings, and make the financial decisions that lead toward true independence in the year ahead?
These Did You Know? questions serve as a wake-up call, and as inspiration to think differently about how we treat time, decisions, and financial direction. They highlight the real pressures Americans face with debt, interest, and financial uncertainty—while also showing how a simple annual review can place you back in control. The goal is to help you break free from debt, build a financial foundation, and take decisive steps toward independence.
“Welcome to The Real Estate Show” — reset, refreshed, re-committed
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. I am also 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.
Our Restart Journey — what we learned since our last RESTART
Since July 1st, when we pressed the RESTART button together and covered the foundational path of what I would do if I were starting over in real estate today. Here are the major anchors we laid:
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 now, naturally, we arrive at today’s theme:
Let’s Review the Year Behind Us & Make the Best of the Year Ahead of Us
Today is Monday On A Mission, and Monday is always about direction, momentum, and discipline.
When we review the year behind us—and intentionally engineer the year ahead—we create a roadmap that ties decisions to direction, and direction to destiny.Today’s show is about the “why” behind this discipline, and why successful real estate investors engineer their outcomes instead of drifting along with the calendar.
This week we’ll discuss:
Because making the best of the year ahead begins by reviewing the year behind.
FREE Workshops — your pathway to action
Before we dig deeper, remember—skill, strategy, and accountability are what separate wishful thinking from financial victory.
This week’s FREE online workshops:
1?? 1st & 3rd Tuesdays 8PM — Path To Home OwnershipText PATH to 561-861-2366
2?? Wednesday 8:30PM — Financial Edge Academy LiveText EDGE to 561-861-2366
Remember Real Estate requires skill, adaptability, strategic thinking, and yes—community.
That’s why I remind you:
Everyone is IN Real Estate.

Top 10 reasons to review the year behind & engineer the year ahead
1?? Clarity reveals directionWithout reviewing wins & losses, you repeat mistakes and miss opportunities. Reflection brings clarity—clarity brings confidence.
2?? You identify hidden money leaksInterest, subscriptions, insurance premiums—most people lose thousands silently. A review turns whispers into wake-up calls.
3?? Your financial biases get exposedDo you over-save? Under-invest? Fear risk? The past year reveals patterns that shape the future.
4?? You quantify progress — or driftNumbers don’t lie. Your review shows if you are moving closer toward independence or drifting further from it.
5?? Your goals realign with realityLife changes—income, family, housing, health. Reviewing the year helps align goals to today’s circumstances.
6?? You convert uncertainty into strategyThe market moves. Rates move. Laws change. But reviewing the year gives you positioning to adapt—not react.
7?? You reclaim control from inflation & interestInstead of being a victim of the economy, you leverage tools to fight inflation and interest with assets and appreciation.
8?? You eliminate emotional decisionsReal estate rewards rational action. Reflection replaces reaction—and planning replaces panic.
9?? You build financial muscle memoryReview → adjust → repeat.That rhythm builds discipline—and discipline builds wealth.
You engineer your next level—not hope for itSuccess is rarely accidental.Reviewing the year is how you engineer the year to come.

Overcoming the 4 major Roadblocks to Wealth — through review & action
1?? Government & Taxes
Taxes are your biggest lifetime expense—more than housing or healthcare.Reviewing your prior year allows you to claim more deductions, leverage depreciation, and use real estate to legally reduce taxable income.No review = missed write-offs = wasted wealth.
2?? Interest & Finance Charges
Interest is a silent transfer of your wealth to someone else.Review your loans, cards, mortgages, and interest rates.Refinance strategically. Consolidate intelligently. Prioritize debt by cost, not balance.
3?? Uncontrolled Monthly Bills
Subscriptions, insurance, utilities, delivery services—your spending creeps unless reviewed.Cut where necessary, renegotiate where possible, replace consumption with investing.
4?? Inflation — the silent killer
Inflation eats cash but rewards assets.Real estate is one of the few assets where inflation increases rents, increases values, and reduces the real cost of debt over time.A review shows whether you're positioned against inflation—or eaten by it.

Mortgage Rates Hold Steady as Investors Accelerate. How Wealth Gets Engineered in Today’s Market — The Real Estate Show Friday Weekly Recap
FRIDAY WEEKLY WRAP-UP RADIO SHOW — WEEK 52, 2025
“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.”
My name is Eric Willner, The Voice of Real Estate, founder of America’s longest running daily real estate show and creator of The Automatic Landlord System for owning cash-flowing real estate profitably and hassle-free.
This Week’s Theme
“This week’s shows have all centered around one powerful idea: Wealth is not earned, wealth is engineered.”
There is a blueprint. There is a strategy. There is a formula. And for 52 weeks of 2025 — we’ve been laying those blueprints down one brick at a time.
Today we’re going to summarize each day’s highlights, wrap up the week, and set you up for success as we head into the new year.
“Did You Know?”
Before we dive into the daily recap, let’s start with some data-driven truths, because numbers don’t lie — they lead.
1?? Did you know that the median homeowner’s net worth is nearly 40 times that of the median renter — not because they earned more, but because they owned more?→ Wealth is engineered through ownership.
2?? Did you know that while mortgage rates held flat around 6.23%, rents climbed 5–9% nationally, meaning renters are losing net worth to inflation every month?→ Wealth is engineered through hedgeable assets.
3?? Did you know investors made up 18% of transactions this month, the highest share in five years — while the majority of renters stayed on the sidelines waiting?→ Wealth is engineered through decisive action, not hesitation.
These numbers have one thing in common:Financial outcomes aren’t random — they’re constructed.
3. Workshop Announcements
And that’s why we teach, not just talk.
Coming up in the New Year:

4. Weekly Theme Expansion — Why Engineering Matters
Now, why does engineered wealth matter so much?
Because:
Ultimately, the goal is financial freedom.To get there, you need a business to fund your investments.The Real Estate Show can be your roadmap — but the key is: you must start NOW.
So why do so many stay in place?
People stay stuck because they’re taught that income is security.But the wealthy know that ownership is security — income is fuel.
What do we do on this show?We break through fear with facts, break through confusion with clarity, and break through hesitation with action.
