Can You Buy 10 Houses With $50,000 šŸ”Do you think this is a strategy that you could also use, or does it seem impractical?

Toby Keith said it best…

ā€œI ain’t as good as I once was… but I’m as good once as I ever was.ā€

Got invited to play in an alumni game after not pitching for 15 years.

Still threw strikes. Still got outs.

Funny enough, that’s exactly how I feel about mortgage banking.

For years I thought the ā€œbig leaguesā€ meant big banks, titles, and corporate logos.

Turns out experience matters more than the logo on your polo.

24 years later, I still know the strike zone.

Different field. Same mindset.

Everyone fixates on the payment…
but misses how deductions reduce the true cost.

Here’s what most homeowners don’t factor in šŸ‘‡

šŸ” Property taxes
šŸ’° Mortgage interest (front-loaded early)
šŸ“‰ Discount points
šŸ›”ļø Mortgage insurance (returns in 2026)
šŸ”Ø HELOC interest for improvements
šŸ“‘ Prepaid interest + taxes in closing costs

Simple way to think about it:

After-tax cost =
(deductible expenses) Ɨ (1 āˆ’ your tax rate)

For a lot of homeowners who itemize,
that means the real cost can be ~10–25% lower than the note rate.

So that ā€œ6.5%ā€ doesn’t always feel like 6.5%.

Most people never run that math.

—
Illustrative only. Assumes itemizing + deductibility within current limits (including SALT caps). Results vary. Not tax/legal advice—talk to your CPA.

Put your phone down tonight. Go outside. Look up.
I’m sitting in the spa right now and just watched a string of satellites cross the sky one after another.
We put those up there. We’ve sent people to the moon. We figured out how to do things that seemed completely impossible.
So whatever you’re overthinking right now — work the problem. Find the solution.
It gets done.
Drop it in the comments — what’s something you once thought was impossible that you figured out anyway?

24 years in mortgage and real estate and I’m just going to say it. šŸ‘‡
Social media is non-negotiable for this business. I’ve known that. The hard part has been actually doing it — and doing it in a way that doesn’t consume what’s left of your life.
This is for the loan officers who don’t know where to start. The realtors sitting on a database they’ve never touched. The agents paying for a garbage social package and getting absolutely nothing from it.
There’s an easier way. I’m figuring it out in real time and sharing everything.
Follow along.

No big box bank brand behind me.
Just 24+ years in this game…
18 of those inside the bank, even managing teams…
now on the broker side with access to 180+ lenders.
Seen every market.
Handled the deals that fall apart.
Built this on experience, not hype.
That’s why my clients don’t care where I sit.
They care that it gets done.

Behind every deal… there’s a couple of four-legged ā€œadvisorsā€ keeping things steady. 🐾

No opinions. No stress. Just loyalty, naps, and showing up every single day.

They don’t care about rates
