In this episode of Get Real with Eddie, Eddie and Nancy tackle a big question on the minds of many veterans and active service members: is a VA loan still a smart financial move in 2025? They break down how VA loans compare to conventional options in today’s market, discuss current interest rates, and explain what buyers need to know when navigating the homebuying process with a VA loan.
The conversation also touches on the importance of honoring our veterans, police officers, and firefighters, as well as a closer look at real estate sales data from Lockport, Illinois. Eddie and Nancy discuss how increased inventory is creating new opportunities for buyers and whether we’re currently facing a housing shortage or surplus. They also spotlight a new listing at 13 Harmony Lane in Romeoville and share insights into whether adjustable-rate mortgages make sense in today’s environment.

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.
