Money Matrix Podcast by Mbanc

In this Money Matrix Podcast episode, the hosts discuss how traditional mortgage qualification wrongly treats self-employed borrowers like W-2 employees and share a caller’s surprise—and emotional relief—at learning bank statement loans aren’t just for the ultra-wealthy. They then address speculation around incoming Fed chair Kevin Walsh, emphasizing the Fed chair doesn’t directly set mortgage rates and cannot unilaterally cut rates without votes, while noting market reactions hinge on Fed messaging amid inflation, oil shocks, and geopolitical uncertainty. The conversation turns to tariffs adding an estimated $17,500 per new home (about $27B across current construction), squeezing builders and slowing new builds, with warnings about unstable comps in new subdivisions. Finally, they highlight a major buyer’s market with 637,000 more sellers than buyers, recommending negotiation tactics like seller credits/concessions, appraisal clauses, third-party inspections, and framing repair requests as closing cost credits.00:00 Cold Open and Setup00:23 Self Employed Loan Frustrations01:09 Bank Statement Loan Breakthrough02:54 Today’s Agenda Preview04:08 Fed Chair Myths and Reality07:51 Inflation Shocks and Oil Risks13:12 Buyers Market and Tariff Costs15:59 Tariffs Raise Build Costs17:15 Builders Reprice New Phases18:13 Big Builders vs Independents19:10 New Build or Rehab21:26 Quality Control and Inspections24:15 Buyers Market Leverage27:59 Credits Clauses and Closing Tips

On this Money Matrix Podcast episode, host Mayer Dallal is joined by Jason Mantione, Alan Hastings, and Jason Rod to unpack the “fear economy” driving uncertainty in mortgage pricing amid war, oil shocks, and inflation.They explain why Fed rate moves don’t directly control mortgage rates, how fixed mortgages track the 10-year Treasury, and how markets often price in news before it happens. Using recent moves in the 10-year and examples of conventional vs. non-QM pricing, they discuss the real cost of waiting to lock and how fear impacts both buyers and sellers. The group highlights inflation’s ripple effects (including gas and “shrinkflation” in restaurants), reviews the VIX and Fear & Greed indicators, and argues buyers can negotiate better deals now and refinance later. They also emphasize non-QM options for self-employed, 1099, investors, and foreign nationals.00:00 Intro00:15 Welcome To Money Matrix00:42 Fear Economy Overview01:30 Who Gets Hit Hardest02:16 Fed Versus Mortgage Rates03:19 10 Year Spike Explained04:44 Lock Or Float Reality06:15 Non QM Success Story09:00 Oil Shock And Inflation12:16 Shrinkflation At Restaurants15:10 Fear Gauges VIX Breakdown18:49 Buy Now Date The Rate24:36 Foreign Nationals And Closing Advice

On this episode of the Money Matrix Podcast, Mayer Dellal of Mortgage Bank of California (a non-QM lender) joins loan analyst Jason Rod and underwriter/analyst Alan Hastings to explain how self-employed borrowers, 1099 workers, and investors are often denied by conventional banks that rely on automated, tax-return-based underwriting. Mayer shares his own denial experience and a client story who deposits $700,000–$1,000,000 monthly but showed little taxable income and was approved using bank statements. They break down key non-QM options: the bank statement program (often using about 50% of monthly deposits, with DTI up to 50%), 1099 qualification (typically a 10% expense factor to use 90% of income), and DSCR investor loans that qualify primarily on rental income covering the mortgage. They also describe a fast pre-approval process, multi-state licensing, and an upfront underwriting program (“Agility Advantage”) that can strengthen purchase offers.00:00 Welcome and Introductions01:06 Why Banks Say No02:21 Founder Denial Story03:56 Non QM Mission Explained06:29 Self Employed by Numbers08:20 Client Case Mark11:15 Bank Statement Loans16:05 DTI and Income Math16:51 1099 Qualifying Shortcut20:50 DSCR Investor Loans25:14 How to Get Started27:59 Agility Advantage Pre Underwrite29:59 Why Big Banks Wont Adapt31:15 Final Wrap and Links

War, Oil Shocks & Mortgage Rates: How the Iran Conflict Impacts Buyers, Investors, and InflationOn the Money Matrix Podcast, host Mayer Dellal (founder of Mbanc) joins Jason Rod and Alan Hastings to discuss how the Israel-Iran-U.S. conflict is driving oil and bond yields higher and quickly pushing mortgage rates up, with the 10-year rising from about 3.96% to 4.25% and consumer rates increasing roughly 0.50%–0.75% in some buckets. They explain the Strait of Hormuz as a 21-mile chokepoint moving about 20% of the world’s oil and debate the purpose and consequences of the war, citing civilian casualties, U.S. service member losses, an estimated $11B first-week cost, and surging gas prices as inflation risks that may delay Fed rate cuts until July. They advise buyers and investors to use current seller panic to negotiate concessions, while most pure refinances may need to wait, with potential future rate relief if conditions stabilize.
