About this listen

🎙️ The Real Estate Deal Room is a podcast dedicated to real estate growth and portfolio building for real estate investors and realtors who want a clear understanding of how financing, deal structure, and execution drive long-term success. It is also a podcast where all real estate and financing questions are welcomed and answered, creating an open and educational space for professionals at every level.


I’m Ebonie Beaco, Sr. Loan Officer and Mortgage Strategist, from Home Loans Network with over 25 years of experience in the real estate and mortgage industry. On the show, I break down the financing options real estate investors actually use, including DSCR rental loans, fix and flip financing, construction loans, bridge loans, portfolio loans, cash-out refinances, non-QM programs, foreign national and non-resident loan options, and so much more.


Each episode focuses on how different property types are financed, how loan programs are selected based on investment goals, and how financing decisions impact cash flow, timelines, and long-term real estate growth. I also walk through creative financing approaches, deal positioning, and capital planning to help investors scale with confidence.


In addition to financing, I cover how investors choose the right realtor for investment-focused transactions, how contracts are structured and negotiated, and how marketing and sales support closing and scaling deals. The goal is to help investors and realtors build strong teams, understand their roles in every transaction, and move efficiently from one deal to the next.


The Real Estate Deal Room is built for investors at every stage, including U.S.-based and international buyers, who want to grow sustainable, well-structured real estate portfolios.

  • Trump, Institutional Investors and Single-Family Homes Separating Headlines from Reality
    Jan 8 2026

    🎙️ Trump, Institutional Investors and Single-Family Homes Separating Headlines from Reality

    Housing headlines are loud right now.
    Social media is even louder.
    And when politics, real estate, and money collide, confusion spreads fast.

    In this episode of The Real Estate Deal Room, Ebonie Beaco, Senior Loan Officer and Mortgage Strategist, cuts through the noise and breaks down what the conversation around Trump, institutional investors, and single-family homes actually means for the real estate market.

    This is not a political debate.
    This is a real-world mortgage and real estate conversation grounded in what is actually happening inside lending, underwriting, and transactions today.

    Throughout this episode, you’ll hear a clear, easy-to-understand breakdown of:

    • What an institutional investor really is and who this conversation is actually about
    • Why headlines can sound dramatic while real estate moves much slower
    • What Trump’s comments change and what they do not change right now
    • How institutional buying impacts inventory, competition, and pricing in certain markets
    • What first-time homebuyers should and should not be worried about
    • How real estate investors can think strategically instead of emotionally
    • Why Realtors and loan officers play a critical role in calming fear and guiding smart decisions

    This episode is designed to help you connect the dots between housing policy talk, market behavior, and mortgage reality so you are not making decisions based on fear, speculation, or social media opinions.

    Whether you are buying your first home, building an investment portfolio, or advising clients, this conversation will help you understand what matters, what doesn’t, and what to watch next.

    📣 If you are a real estate investor or a Realtor, this episode was made for you.

    Investors, the strongest strategies are built on education, not headlines. Understanding how market conversations influence buyer behavior and financing can help you stay ahead of shifts instead of reacting late.

    Realtors, your clients are looking to you for calm, clarity, and confidence. This episode gives you language, perspective, and insight you can use in real conversations when buyers feel uncertain or overwhelmed.

    🎧 Listen to this episode to strengthen your market knowledge, elevate your client conversations, and position yourself as a trusted professional in a headline-driven environment.

    🎥 Join us live every Wednesday at 7 PM CST on YouTube at @TheRealEstateDealRoom, where we break down real estate, mortgages, and market conversations in a way that actually makes sense.
