You can't control inflation, and you don't set Fed policy. But the most powerful factors in securing a great mortgage are the ones you have direct control over.

It's time to stop being a passive rate-taker and become a strategic player. For real estate investors, the mortgage isn't just a loan; it's a strategic tool, and failing to optimize it is a critical error that can cost you thousands.

In this episode of our special mortgage series of the 5-Minute PRIME Podcast, host Martin Maxwell delivers the ultimate borrower's playbook for navigating the financing battlefield.

Tune in to learn:

  • The Five Levers of Power: A breakdown of the critical factors—from your credit score to your DTI ratio—that you can directly influence to command better loan terms from lenders.
  • The Six Costly Sins: An inside look at the common, and often disastrous, mistakes that sabotage deals, from neglecting pre-approval to making financial changes during the critical "quiet period."
  • The Investor's Edge: How to think like a lender, reduce your perceived risk, and position yourself as a top-tier borrower.
  • Your Actionable Game Plan: Concrete steps to take before you apply to ensure you're in the strongest possible position to win the mortgage game.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
