This CEO interview delivers game-changing entrepreneur advice on mortgage strategies most buyers don't know exist, including the 2-1 buy down program (saving borrowers an average of $650/month with the SELLER paying for it), buy-before-you-sell programs that use equity as down payments, and why credit scores rarely disqualify anyone at Flight Financial. Brad shares his inspiring success story—from a back injury forcing him out of construction sales to discovering his passion for mortgages during a "temporary 90-day gig" that turned into founding a company specializing in helping self-employed borrowers, those with tax deductions, citizenship issues, and anyone who "doesn't fit the box." Learn business expert secrets on Non-QM loans (now MORE popular than qualified mortgages), bank statement loans for business owners who don't show income on tax returns, DSCR loans that require ZERO borrower income verification (just property cash flow), and why waiting for rates to drop will cost you MORE when prices skyrocket and competition returns. Get business tips on building a wholesale mortgage brokerage with amazing pricing, why hiring ex-underwriters as processors changes everything, and how engineering backgrounds help entrepreneurs write software that keeps expenses low. This mindset for success conversation proves that the best opportunities come when everyone else is scared—and right now, it's a total buyer's market with reasonable prices, lower rates than two years ago, and sellers offering massive concessions. 🔗 Connect with Brad Barton & Flight Financial: Website: flightfinancial.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flitefinancialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/flitefinancialLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-barton-a115017a/🔗 Connect with Omada Real Estate Podcast: Website: omadarealestate.com Instagram: @RussellFaucette Facebook: Russell Faucette #RealEstatePodcast #MortgageBroker #HomeLoans #RealEstateInvesting #EntrepreneurAdvice #BusinessExpert #FirstTimeHomeBuyer #InvestmentProperty #MortgageTips #BuyersMarket #NonQMLoans ℹ️ About This Show: Join The Omada Podcast for conversations with real estate experts, mortgage professionals, and business leaders who share insider strategies for buying, selling, and investing in property.
