Download MP3Summary:
In this episode, the hosts critique recent shifts in the housing market, specifically Fannie Mae’s removal of minimum credit requirements and proposed 50-year mortgages. They argue these "Band-Aid" solutions mirror the lead-up to the 2008 crisis and suggest that increasing inventory through builder tax credits is a more sustainable path to affordability. Agents will also learn the "131 Method" for team empowerment—identifying one problem, three solutions, and one recommendation—to streamline operations and buy back their time.
