The Loans Elevated Podcast delivers clear, strategic conversations on mortgages, real estate, and homeownership.
Hosted by Broch Lassig alongside TJ Heidenreich and Ryan King of The Lassig Team, a top 1% nationally ranked mortgage team, the show explores how housing decisions impact your financial future.
Each episode breaks down real-world mortgage strategy, market dynamics, and the role homeownership plays in building wealth, managing debt, and creating long-term optionality.
Whether you’re a homeowner, first-time buyer, or real estate professional, Loans Elevated helps you think differently about real estate and use it as a tool, not just a transaction.

Episode 165: Mortgage Rates in 2026 | What Actually Matters (and What Doesn’t)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Where are mortgage rates headed in 2026?
Instead of guessing exact numbers, this episode focuses on what actually drives rates and how buyers and homeowners can win regardless of volatility.
We break down inflation, job data, AI-driven economic shifts, housing demand, and the real wild cards shaping the market this year. More importantly, we explain why strategy, structure, and execution matter far more than timing the perfect rate.
If you’re waiting for certainty, this episode is for you.
Key themes:
- Why rate predictions are usually wrong
- Why lower rates haven’t unlocked buyers yet
- How fear and uncertainty stall housing markets
- The smartest way to refinance in a falling-rate environment
- Why readiness beats waiting in 2026
