Midweek Market Report: Why Smart Investors Are Watching Mortgage Trends Closely

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 – Wednesday Midweek Mortgage & Market Report

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 the founder of America’s longest running daily real estate show. I’m also the creator of The Automatic Landlord System for Owning Cash-Flowing Real Estate profitably and hassle-free.

And that’s exactly what this show is about – making sure every one of you listening has the education, the insight, and the strategy to make real estate work for you. Think of each and every episode of this show as your own virtual real estate seminar.

Now, today is the Wednesday Midweek Mortgage & Market Report Edition of The Real Estate Show. And today, we’re continuing the theme we’ve been hitting all week: why NOW is the right time to buy real estate, and why, as I said Monday, you must analyze 3–5 deals daily.

Everyone Is In Real Estate

Here’s the truth: Everyone is in real estate!

Either you are IN real estate because you own it. You searched it, you negotiated it, you closed on it. And now you enjoy the pride of ownership, tax benefits, cash flow, and the long-term appreciation.

Or—you are ON real estate, meaning you’re paying someone else’s mortgage. You’re paying directly through your rent, or indirectly, through the job you work at in the office space where your employer pays rent.

But one way or another—you are in real estate. And the question is: are you on the paying side or the receiving side?

Why Analyze 3–5 Deals Daily?

Now, let’s drill down into today’s big theme: Analyze 3–5 Deals Daily.

Did you know? The people who succeed consistently in real estate aren’t the ones who sit around waiting for the “perfect deal.” They’re the ones who build a habit. A system. A daily discipline.

Three to five deals daily doesn’t mean you’re buying three to five homes every day. It means you’re sharpening your skills, seeing what’s available, comparing numbers, and noticing trends. The more you look, the more deals stand out to you when the right one comes along.

Remember this: success in real estate is rarely about luck. It’s about volume of exposure and consistency of action.

3 Thought-Provoking Questions

Now let me ask you three thought-provoking questions:

1. Did you know that the difference between a 6.62% and a 5.84% mortgage rate could save you over $2,100 a year on the exact same loan?
2. Did you know that even with higher rates, mortgage demand today is still 23% stronger than last year because serious buyers recognize opportunity?
3. Did you know that the single greatest way to protect yourself from inflation, uncertainty, and economic headwinds is to own property—and it starts by analyzing those 3–5 deals daily?

That’s why today’s show is all about this very theme: Analyze 3–5 Deals Daily—and why knowing how that works is the foundation of your real estate success plan.

Workshops & The Financial Edge

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

• 1st and 3rd Tuesdays, 8pm – Path to Homeownership Introduction – Online, by invitation. Text Path to 561-861-2366.
• Every Wednesday night, 8:30pm – Financial Edge Academy “101 Overview” – Online, by invitation. Text Edge to 561-861-2366.

Now, let me tell you: most people struggle financially. And if I ask, “Do finances challenge you?” the majority say YES.

That’s why we created The Financial Edge. Because it’s not about working harder—it’s about working smarter. We believe in a three-pronged approach:

1. Everyone should be a homeowner.
2. Everyone should have that home in financial order with a written life plan.
3. Everyone should own a business that pays them AND gives them tax benefits.

That’s The Financial Edge. And that’s your team. Text Edge to 561-861-2366 and let’s talk about it.

Mortgage & Market Update

Here are the top trending mortgage updates for today:

From BankRate.com:

“For today, Wednesday, August 20, 2025, the current average 30-year fixed mortgage interest rate is 6.62%, down 6 basis points from last week. The average refinance rate is 6.78%, also slightly down. For the week of August 17th, top offers on Bankrate are 0.80% lower than the national average—saving $2,112 per year on a $340,000 loan.”

Now here’s the interesting part: the Fed decided not to cut rates this week—keeping the federal funds rate steady for the fifth consecutive meeting. But here’s the thing: the Fed doesn’t directly control mortgage rates. The 10-year Treasury yield does—and that’s sitting just below 4.4%.

So here’s the lesson: mortgage rates change constantly. And if you’re in the market now—or even in the next year—you need to prepare early, shop around, and compare offers.

Right now:

• 30 Year Fixed – 6.62%
• 15 Year Fixed – 5.85%
• 10 Year Fixed – 5.76%
• Top site offers – 5.84%
• Adjustable Rates – not very popular right now

But tomorrow—on our ATM Edition—we’ll show you how to get into the 4’s on primary loans, and the 5’s on investor loans. That’s why analyzing deals daily matters—you catch opportunities others miss.

Weekly Mortgage Demand Article

Now let’s get into this week’s headline:

“Weekly mortgage demand stalls again with just minuscule increase in interest rates”

Key points:

• Average 30-year fixed ticked up to 6.68% from 6.67%.
• Refinance applications dropped 3% for the week, though still 23% higher year-over-year.
• Purchase applications rose 0.1% for the week, and are also 23% higher than last year.

Here’s what this means: after a big surge in refinance demand the previous week, applications slowed. Why? Because rates nudged slightly higher. It’s incredible how even the smallest changes in rates can dramatically change consumer behavior.

Think about that as an investor. One-tenth of a percent moves the market. And if you’re not analyzing deals daily—you miss those tiny shifts that can make thousands of dollars difference.

MBA Economist Joel Kan said:

“Purchase applications were little changed over the week but were at the strongest pace in four weeks and continued to run well ahead of last year’s pace. Prospective homebuyers remain more active compared to last year despite economic headwinds.”

That’s opportunity. Don’t let the headlines scare you. Let them guide you.

[Midpoint – Commercial Break]

You’re listening to The Real Estate Show.

We’ll be right back after this quick break. And don’t forget: if you want to take your financial life to the next level—text Edge to 561-861-2366. We’ll plug you into the Financial Edge system and workshops that can put you on the path to ownership, profitability, and financial peace of mind.

[Short pause for break]

Alright, welcome back to The Real Estate Show.

Let’s continue talking about why NOW is the time to buy real estate—and why analyzing 3–5 deals daily keeps you ahead of the curve.

Remember, news headlines aren’t just noise—they’re signals. They affect affordability, independence, and wealth. Understanding them means you get organized, you get ahead, and you get your financial edge.

Second Article: Senior Living Boom

Next 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 five years.
• Demand growth requires 100,000 new beds per year through 2040—but only 4,000 are being built annually.
• REITs like Ventas are betting billions on the longevity economy.

Here’s the insight: senior living has always been a “quiet” real estate play. But the boomers are coming. And unlike office space or retail—this is driven by demographics, not trends. That’s why investors like Ventas are seeing “incredibly strong and durable” tailwinds in this sector.

This demand is going to explode, and with almost no new supply, the economics are simple: higher occupancy, rising rents, strong returns.

As CEO Deb Cafaro put it:

“I’ve never seen this combination of investment characteristics in my career—returns in the sevens, IRRs in the mid-teens, and assets acquired below replacement cost.”

Folks, this is why you want to be in real estate now. Seniors will be selling homes, moving into assisted living, and creating opportunities both in senior housing investments and in traditional housing inventory.

And this is why I always say: real estate is the best investment—period.

Closing & Call to Action

So, let’s wrap up today’s Midweek Mortgage & Market Report.

We’ve seen that even tiny shifts in rates affect demand. We’ve seen that opportunities are everywhere—from saving thousands on a loan to positioning yourself in senior living investments. And we’ve seen why analyzing 3–5 deals daily is the discipline that separates winners from the wishful thinkers.

Don’t just listen—take action. Text Edge to 561-861-2366 and join our workshops. Visit AutomaticLandlord.com for full replays, transcripts, and resources.

And tune in tomorrow for the ATM Edition – About The Money where we’ll talk about real rates in the 4’s and how investors can secure financing in the 5’s.

Remember: share this show with anyone you know who should own real estate—because everyone is already in real estate. The question is: are you paying it, or are you getting paid from it?

This has been Eric Willner, The Voice of Real Estate. Thanks for listening to The Real Estate Show—America’s longest running daily real estate radio show.

We’ll see you tomorrow.

Friday Wrap-Up: Why Your Power Team is the Key to Financial Freedom                                                                                     

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’s theme has been clear and powerful: Assemble a Power Team. Today, we summarize the week and wrap up with the tools you need for next week’s success in real estate.

Did You Know? (Hook)

• Did you know that as of mid-August, 30-year fixed mortgage rates have dipped to around 6.56%, their lowest level since last October? That’s making a real difference for buyers right now AInvestNorada Real Estate.
• Did you know that while mortgage rates are easing slightly, more than 80% of homeowners still hold mortgages locked below 6%, giving them incredible stability and lower monthly costs? Realtor
• Did you know that U.S. mobility is hitting a historic low—only about 8% of Americans move each year, down from 20% mid-century—trapping some people in homes that no longer fit their needs? This underscores why having the right team to identify strategic moves is critical The Wall Street Journal.

Upcoming Workshops & Challenge

Before we dive in, here’s what’s coming up next week:

1. Tuesday 8 PM – Path To Home Ownership Introduction (Online, invitation only)
2. Wednesday 8:30 PM – Financial Edge Academy Overview (Online, invitation only)
3. Saturday – Our weekly Business Reading Club

And remember, we’re in full “72-Hour Challenge” mode—get on board now by texting “Challenge” to 561-861-2366. This week’s core message—your Real Estate Success is fueled by assembling a Power Team—remains your foundation.

Why NOW is the Time to Buy & Build Your Power Team

Here are four reasons why assembling a Power Team is more important than ever—and why now is the moment to act:

1. Leverage in a Stabilizing Market:
   Rates are easing. As of mid-August, 30-year fixed rates are around 6.56%, down from the highs earlier this summer AInvestMortgage News Daily. A strong team helps you lock in these improving rates before the next twist.
2. Buying Power Starts with Preparedness:
   A well-connected team—agent, lender, mentor, attorney—means you can act when opportunity knocks.
3. Scaling Fast and Smart:
   With the right mentor and network, you shortcut years of trial and error. You leverage proven systems, local insights, and avoid rookie mistakes that cost hard-earned dollars.
4. Peace of Mind and Wealth Building:
   A Power Team helps keep your portfolio organized—tax strategies, maintenance plans, portfolio growth. That brings both independence and peace of mind.

Remember: The goal is financial freedom. You need a “Business” to fund your “Investment.” The Real Estate Show is your roadmap… but you must start now.

Weekly Recaps

Monday – “On a Mission” Edition

On Monday, we set the stage for the week with “On a Mission”. We emphasized how important assembling a Power Team is—especially a mentor—to set yourself up for success. Key points:

• Education First: Financial literacy and crafting a personal financial statement form the foundation.
• Credit Repair Matters: Your credit can either open doors or hold you back—make it work for you.
• Team Is Everything: From lender to attorney, a well-oiled team is your asset.
  We highlighted how every investor, homeowner, or renter is either IN Real Estate or ON Real Estate—and having a Power Team puts you in control.

Why You Should Assemble a Power Team – 10 Reasons

1. Expertise You Don’t Have – No one is an expert at everything. Having specialists in lending, law, taxes, and construction ensures every decision is well-informed.
2. Speed of Execution – Deals move fast. A prepared team can evaluate, approve, and close quickly—before someone else takes the opportunity.
3. Problem-Solving Ability – Issues will arise—permits, title defects, financing hiccups. A strong team solves problems before they derail your plans.
4. Negotiation Leverage – Attorneys, agents, and lenders can negotiate better terms and protect your interests.
5. Risk Reduction – Your team catches mistakes early—saving you money, time, and stress.
6. Access to Opportunities – Team members often bring you deals or inside information that the public never sees.
7. Credibility with Sellers & Lenders – A professional team signals that you’re serious and competent, making it easier to secure deals.
8. Efficiency – Delegating specialized tasks lets you focus on strategy and decision-making instead of paperwork and repairs.
9. Better Financial Outcomes – The right CPA or tax strategist can save you thousands—or tens of thousands—every year.
10. Long-Term Growth – A loyal, proven team grows with you, helping you scale your portfolio faster.

Tuesday – “Tools, Tips & Techniques” Edition

Tuesday was all about practical tools:

• Creative funding techniques: seller financing, ARMs, rate locks—all leveraging your team to negotiate strong terms.
• Off-market strategies: find deals before they hit MLS—networking and partner referrals are key.
• Analytic discipline: run cap rates, cash-on-cash, and exit scenarios like a pro.
• Build your network: agents, lenders, contractors—your team is the engine that turns tools into results.

Wednesday – “Midweek Mortgage & Market Report”

Wednesday we analyzed the numbers:

• Rates trending down with 30-year mortgages dipping into the high 6% range AInvestNorada Real Estate.
• Home prices cooling, some markets showing near-flat or slight declines—giving buyers negotiating room.
• Market mobility fading, making strategic moves tougher without a trusted team The Wall Street Journal.
  No matter where you sit in the E-S-B-I quadrant, this report reinforced that real estate remains the vehicle for forward momentum—especially when powered by a team.

Thursday – “ATM – About the Money” Edition

Thursday focused on the money side and team mindset:

• Real Estate is the IDEAL investment (Income, Depreciation, Equity, Appreciation, Leverage).
• Compared real estate to crypto, influencers, traditional jobs—real estate wins on consistency and control.
• Shared the 3 deep beliefs: buy a home, have a written financial plan, own a business that pays you and gives tax benefits.
• Introduced the 3-tier money system (Save, Make, Multiply).
• Reinforced the importance of a Power Team with mentor, agent, lender, property manager, attorney, and accountant.

What a Power Team Looks Like

Your Power Team should include:

• A Mentor—someone who’s done what you want to do.
• A Real Estate Agent—with investment experience.
• A Mortgage Broker/Lender—who works with investors.
• A Property Manager—to keep your rentals cash flowing.
• A CPA/Tax Advisor—who understands real estate deductions.
• A Real Estate Attorney—for contracts, closings, and protection.
• And you—the quarterback, making informed decisions.

Without a team, you’re exposed to costly mistakes. With a team, you gain speed, leverage, and confidence.

Why People Are Stuck… and How The Show Helps

Let’s be honest—most people stay stuck because:

• They lack financial literacy and a written plan.
• They fear failure or don’t trust themselves to lead.
• They attempt real estate alone and are overwhelmed.

But by listening to The Real Estate Show, aligning with workshops, and building a team... you break free. You gain organizational clarity, education, a financial edge—and ultimately independence and peace of mind.

10 Reasons a Power Team is Your Secret Weapon for Real Estate Success

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 – Assemble a Power Team

Date: Monday, August 11, 2025 – Week 33, Day 223 of the Year

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 that one of the biggest mistakes real estate investors make is trying to go it alone? Did you know that the difference between a struggling investor and a successful investor often comes down to one thing—a well-assembled Power Team? Did you know that without the right people in your corner—lenders, attorneys, contractors, accountants, and mentors—you’re setting yourself up for unnecessary risk, wasted time, and missed opportunities?

These “Did you know?” questions aren’t just conversation starters—they’re a wake-up call. They’re here to inspire you to think outside the box and to highlight the real and pressing challenges Americans face when it comes to managing debt, building wealth, and navigating the financial minefield of life. They open the door to a deeper discussion about effective debt management strategies, financial planning, and practical solutions that can help you break free from the weight of financial stress.

It’s about setting yourself up for success—so you can take the right steps toward true 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 am also the creator of The Automatic Landlord System for owning cash-flowing real estate profitably and hassle-free. This show is your virtual real estate seminar in every episode.

Since July 1st, we’ve hit the RESTART button and covered the 10 things I would do if I were starting—or starting over—in real estate investing. So far, the first three steps have been:

1. Get Financially Educated.
2. Know My Credit and Fix It Up.
3. Create a Personal Financial Statement.

Today is the Monday On A Mission edition of The Real Estate Show—and our theme is Assemble a Power Team.

This week, we’ll be talking about strategies to optimize your finances, including:

• Tax management techniques.
• Debt reduction methods.
• Investment strategies.
• Leveraging your home as a business asset.

Knowing how to do these things is a critical part of your Real Estate and Financial Success Plan.

 This Week’s Special FREE Workshops

1. Tuesday, 8 PM – Path To Home Ownership Introduction (Online, by Invitation) – Text PATH to 561-861-2366.
2. Wednesday, 8:30 PM – Financial Edge Academy Live Session (Online, by Invitation) – Text EDGE to 561-861-2366.
3. Thursday, 8:30 PM – Financial Edge Master Class on Strategy – Available only to those who attend Wednesday’s session.

These are free online workshops because real estate requires skill, strategy, adaptability, and the determination to cross the finish line successfully.

Remember: Everyone is in Real Estate!
You’re either IN real estate because you own it, searched for it, negotiated it, closed on it, and enjoy the benefits…
Or you’re ON real estate, meaning you’re paying rent—directly or indirectly—for where you live and work.

The road to financial victory may not be a straight path, but it’s an exhilarating one. Take that journey with us!

Why You Should Assemble a Power Team – 10 Reasons

1. Expertise You Don’t Have – No one is an expert at everything. Having specialists in lending, law, taxes, and construction ensures every decision is well-informed.
2. Speed of Execution – Deals move fast. A prepared team can evaluate, approve, and close quickly—before someone else takes the opportunity.
3. Problem-Solving Ability – Issues will arise—permits, title defects, financing hiccups. A strong team solves problems before they derail your plans.
4. Negotiation Leverage – Attorneys, agents, and lenders can negotiate better terms and protect your interests.
5. Risk Reduction – Your team catches mistakes early—saving you money, time, and stress.
6. Access to Opportunities – Team members often bring you deals or inside information that the public never sees.
7. Credibility with Sellers & Lenders – A professional team signals that you’re serious and competent, making it easier to secure deals.
8. Efficiency – Delegating specialized tasks lets you focus on strategy and decision-making instead of paperwork and repairs.
9. Better Financial Outcomes – The right CPA or tax strategist can save you thousands—or tens of thousands—every year.
10. Long-Term Growth – A loyal, proven team grows with you, helping you scale your portfolio faster.

How a Power Team Helps You Overcome the 4 Major Roadblocks to Financial Independence

Roadblock #1 – Government and Taxes
The tax code is long, complex, and constantly changing. The right accountant and tax strategist in your Power Team can help you legally minimize your tax burden, use deductions to your advantage, and protect more of your profits.

Roadblock #2 – Interest and Finance Charges
Bad financing is like pouring money down the drain. A great mortgage broker or lender will find you the best rates, structures, and terms—saving you thousands in interest over time.

Roadblock #3 – Uncontrolled Monthly Bills
Your property manager, contractor, and bookkeeper can help track, reduce, and manage recurring expenses. Left unchecked, these bills can bleed your cash flow dry.

Roadblock #4 – Inflation, the Silent Killer of Wealth
Inflation erodes your purchasing power. But by working with a real estate strategist, you can invest in appreciating assets and lock in today’s costs with fixed-rate financing, effectively beating inflation at its own game.

 You can turn debt into wealth in Real Estate.

Build Wealth With Real Estate: How a Financial Strategy Sets You Up for Success 

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. The radio show is called “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.” It’s a virtual real estate seminar in every episode.

Today is Thursday where we say it’s the ATM – About The Money Edition of The Real Estate Show and it’s where we continue to talk about why NOW is the time to buy real estate using the theme of: Create a Solid Foundation For Real Estate Investing By Creating a Financial Snapshot of Today & Identifying Your Real Estate Strategy.

Let me start by asking: Did you know that more than half of Americans can’t cover an unexpected $1,000 expense? Yet they say they want to invest in real estate. That’s why today’s topic is so important. Because before you build your real estate empire, you’ve got to know where you stand.

We are in the 21st week of 2025! That’s right, the year is picking up speed! But the beauty of real estate? It pays you in multiple ways: appreciation, rental income, tax deductions, and depreciation. That’s the IDEAL formula for wealth.

Did you know...

1. That real estate investors who operate with a financial snapshot and strategy are 3x more likely to succeed?
2. That most people overestimate what they can do in 1 year but underestimate what they can do in 5?
3. That your personal credit and financial picture can be your secret weapon or your silent killer?

Last night, we had a powerful workshop! The Financial Edge University Overview was packed with Streetsmart, Money Smart individuals who are tired of being average. And I invite YOU to be one of them.

Join us Online by Invitation — just text "EDGE" to 561-861-2366 and get in the room!

April is traditionally Financial Literacy Month, but around here, we believe EVERY month is Financial Literacy Month. Because ignorance is not bliss when it comes to your finances — it’s dangerous. Ignorance is why people lose their homes, retire broke, or miss out on opportunities to buy real estate when the window is wide open.

That’s why I always say: REAL ESTATE is the IDEAL Investment and Business.

We’re not here to sell you dreams. We’re here to build you plans. Our Financial Edge Academy was built to give you real tools, real knowledge, and real results — without the hype.

So let’s debunk a few myths:

1) Crypto, Options, Forex, or Stocks? Look, I’ve studied them all. And the truth is for every 1 person that wins, 7-9 lose. In the Financial Edge Academy, we focus on safer, proven vehicles like D.C.A., P.R.A., Land Banking, and Precious Metals. And they deliver.

2) Social Media Influencers? Think you’re going to blow up and monetize in a year? 80% don’t make money in their first 5 years.

3) Start a business without marketing or recruiting? That’s a pipe dream. All businesses require sales, marketing, or relationships.

4) Climb the corporate ladder? Less than 5% of employees ever become millionaires.

Don’t believe me? Look it up. But know this: Our Financial Edge Academy has tens of thousands of success stories and we just added Guaranteed Funding for businesses — with no impact to your credit score. Want in? Text "Funding" to 561-861-2366.

Text "Credit" to 561-861-2366 to learn how to fix your credit and unlock the doors to homeownership and financial independence.

Let’s continue to talk about why NOW is the time to invest in real estate — and how to create a solid financial foundation by taking a snapshot of where you are today.

Here’s what I believe:

1. Everyone should buy a house – homeownership is your first step to generational wealth.
2. Everyone should have a written financial & life plan – direction creates momentum.
3. Everyone should own a business – even a side hustle that gives you income AND tax benefits.

Do those 3 things, and you’ll have the Financial Edge.

Let’s break it down further with our 3-Tiered Money Mastery System. This is how we build:

Level 1: Save

• Track your income and expenses
• Plug the leaks (subscriptions, debt, unnecessary expenses)
• Create your emergency fund

Level 2: Make

• Increase your income
• Start a cashflow business
• Invest in income-producing assets like real estate

Level 3: Multiply

• Leverage other people’s money
• Use business credit
• Maximize tax strategies and compound returns

If you follow this system, you’re no longer guessing. You’re calculating. You’re creating a snapshot of today that helps you plan for tomorrow.

Ready to start? Text "EDGE" to 561-861-2366 and let’s build your strategy.

Mid-Show Break: Today’s Show is Brought to You By www.TimeToFixMyCredit.com

Text "Credit" to 561-861-2366 and let’s clean up your financial foundation!

Let me tell you a story. A client came to me just last year. Mid-40s, great income, but no financial plan. No investments. No strategy. After joining our Financial Edge Workshop, we created his financial snapshot, showed him his blind spots, and within 6 months — he was a homeowner, a business owner, and on track to own 2 more rental properties.

That’s what we do.

We provide the path — but you have to walk it.

Let me remind you again — because repetition is the mother of skill — that building wealth is not about finding the next shiny thing. It’s about:

• Knowing your numbers
• Planning your path
• Building your team
• And TAKING ACTION

Text "EDGE" to 561-861-2366 and join the winning team.

This is not hype. This is not a game. This is a battle for your financial future. If you don’t create a solid foundation today, you’re going to look back 5, 10, 20 years from now and wish you had started. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time? TODAY.

Whether it’s credit, capital, or confidence — we help you build it.

Text "Credit" to 561-861-2366 — because your future self will thank you.

So here’s your next step:

• Get your financial snapshot.
• Identify your strategy.
• Surround yourself with a winning team.
• Take ACTION.

Thanks for listening to The Real Estate Show, but don’t just listen — ACT. Use this show as your launchpad. Every weekday, we deliver a virtual seminar packed with value.

Join our workshops — they are FOR YOU.

Tomorrow is our Friday Weekly Wrap-Up. Don’t miss the highlights of the week. We’re going to connect the dots, tie together everything we learned, and show you the big picture.

And remember:

“It’s a stone cold fact that real estate is the best investment. Period. It’s the IDEAL Investment.”

I’m Eric Willner, the Voice of Real Estate. Let’s build your wealth, the right way.

Good Day and God bless!
