  • Episode 14 - Why College-Town Investing Works + Life Updates & the 50-Year Mortgage Proposal

    Episode 14 - Why College-Town Investing Works + Life Updates & the 50-Year Mortgage Proposal
    Nov 28 2025
    Episode 14 brings a full-circle conversation that blends real life, real estate strategy, and the evolving market landscape. Kaci and Heather -The Real Estate Girls -kick things off with personal updates before shifting into a high-value discussion on why college-town markets continue to outperform expectations.

    We outline how steady demand from alumni, faculty, and parents creates reliable housing needs, and why many families are finding that purchasing a home for their college student can be more efficient and cost-effective than paying rent or covering the rising cost of dorm living. It’s a classic real-estate play that stands the test of time while building long-term equity and financial resilience.

    We also lean into one of today’s hottest industry conversations, the proposed 50-year mortgage. While details are still unfolding, we explore how extended-term products could create new access points for buyers, offer payment flexibility during early career years, and serve as a strategic bridge for long-term investing. As always, we encourage listeners to stay grounded, evaluate the fundamentals, and lean on trusted professionals as the market evolves.

    This episode is designed to equip buyers, sellers, and investors with actionable insights, whether you’re navigating rental opportunities near a university or considering how future lending structures may shape affordability.
