from Earn Your Leisure · host iHeartPodcasts

Welcome back to Market Mondays In this insightful clip, Troy Millings sits down with Matt Garland—better known as MG the Mortgage Guy—to unpack the biggest trends, myths, and strategies shaping the 2026 real estate landscape. MG the Mortgage Guy drops gems you won’t hear anywhere else about home ownership, interest rates, economic shifts, and how anyone—regardless of starting point—can build generational wealth through smart real estate moves. From debunking the internet “housing crash” rumors to revealing why now is one of the best times to buy, MG gives his unfiltered, expert perspective after 23 years in the mortgage industry. Highlights in this clip:- Why a housing crash isn’t coming (and who benefits from these rumors)- The truth about interest rates, government policies, and what buyers can expect heading into 2026 and 2027- Game-changing down payment assistance programs, ADU options, and how new loan rules can help buyers qualify in expensive cities- The power of group buying, family compounds, and multi-generational living to get on the property ladder- Controversial advice about renting vs. buying your own home (and why it’s not “either/or” for Black and Brown communities seeking wealth)- Why listening to real estate “gurus” could cost you your shot at generational wealth Plus, Troy and MG discuss the critical mindset shifts, planning strategies, and simple hacks to thrive—whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to scale up your real estate investments. MG addresses common mistakes high income earners and entrepreneurs make, and why a solid “mortgage plan” is your secret weapon. Ready to turn knowledge into action?
