This week: Hope you're crushing your financial goals this week! We just wrapped up an incredible conversation with mortgage expert Joel Farrell on the podcast, and honestly? The insights he shared about making housing affordable again blew our minds.
If you've been feeling priced out of the housing market (and let's be real, who hasn't?), this episode is packed with game-changing strategies you probably haven't heard before.
multi-cosigning is the new black
Here's something that caught us off guard: You can have three or even four people on a mortgage loan. Joel shared a real example where multiple family members combined their credit scores and finances to help someone with poor credit qualify for a home.
This isn't just theory: families are already doing this. Imagine pooling resources with siblings, parents, or close friends to make homeownership possible for everyone involved.

creative financing is your friend
Beyond traditional mortgages, Joel and and the host explored several alternatives:
Cooperative purchasing: Multiple parties buying property together
Tax credit strategies: Leveraging credits for marriage and childbirth
Fractional real estate: Owning pieces of properties instead of whole ones
Alternative investment paths: Building wealth through non-traditional routes
“In the 80s the median price to the median income was only a four to one ratio and now it’s an eight to one ratio.” - Joel Farrell
What’s next: Start young. Start now. The Stay Winning Wealth blueprint for the next generation is revolutionary: Teenagers should start saving while living at home. Skip the traditional college debt trap. Work from home. Invest in real estate early.
You don't need to follow the conventional path to build wealth. In fact, the conventional path might be what's keeping you broke.
The earlier you start thinking strategically about money and housing, the more options you'll have later.
the bigger picture
This conversation wasn't just about mortgages and loans. Joel and and the host connected housing affordability to broader societal challenges. When housing is accessible, families are more stable. Communities are stronger. Economic stress decreases.
Making housing affordable isn't just a personal finance issue: it's a community issue.

the real impact: families and communities
Here's what really hit us during the conversation – this isn't just about individual families buying homes. Joel painted a picture of stronger communities and generational wealth building that could transform entire neighborhoods.
When families can afford homes:
Kids grow up with stability and better educational outcomes
Communities invest in long-term improvements instead of short-term fixes
Wealth builds across generations instead of disappearing in rent
Local businesses thrive with stable customer bases
