Loans Elevated
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 176: Why Billionaires Still Get Mortgages (And Why You Probably Should Too)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you had enough cash to buy a house outright… would you?
Most people say yes.
But the wealthy do the opposite.
In this episode, we break down why high-net-worth individuals and billionaires still choose to finance real estate—and what that reveals about leverage, liquidity, and long-term wealth strategy.
We cover:
- Why paying cash isn’t always the smartest move
- The real difference between good debt and bad debt
- How liquidity creates opportunity (and reduces risk)
- Why equity alone doesn’t build wealth
- A simple mindset shift that changes how you view mortgages forever
If you’ve ever thought “I just want to be debt-free,” this conversation will challenge that belief—and show you a smarter way to think about money.
