029: Navigating Today's Mortgage Rate Landscape with Nathan Hartseil

It's been almost two decades since any of us had to deal with rising interest rates–and as a consequence, anyone buying a home right now is probably shocked by how different things are.  To help make sense of the mortgage landscape with rising interest rates and refinancing options, we're thrilled to be talking to Nathan Hartseil. At Main Street Home Loans, Nathan helps our clients make the best decisions in complex situations. In today's episode, Nathan shares the hard lessons he learned getting his feet wet in the financial industry at the height of the Great Recession, what makes our current economic moment so unprecedented (and is making it so much harder for first-time homeowners to buy), and financial strategies you can use right now.  In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why it's so important to discuss your long-term financial plans and goals with your banker as you purchase a home.  Why the low interest rates of the last several years are unlikely to return. Important factors that Nathan uses to adjust his recommendations daily. Why housing inventory hasn't increased, even though we're likely in a recession. New financial products being created for buyers and sellers alike.  Want the Full Show Notes?
