It’s only mid-2025, and already housing has been flipped on its head.

If you’re a buyer, seller, builder, landlord, investor—or just someone watching mortgage rates like a hawk—this episode is for you. Because President Trump’s latest wave of housing-related moves? They’re historic. And a little dizzying.

In this episode, I walk you through the chaos and consequences of:

🏛️ The CFPB Meltdown

• Trump fired Director Chopra and installed a succession of replacements

• The agency’s enforcement power has been slashed—big win for some lenders, big concern for consumers

• Lawsuits, staff terminations, reversals of key mortgage rules—and yes, Elon Musk’s team reportedly gained data access at one point 🤯

🏠 HUD and FHA Changes

• HUD slashed staff, rolled back fair housing protections, and launched a crackdown on undocumented households in federal housing

• FHA loan access now requires citizenship or permanent residency—huge impact on immigrant buyers

• Plans to develop federal land for housing are back… but Section 8 cuts are on the table too

📉 GSE Shakeups at Fannie and Freddie

• Bill Pulte is now running the FHFA, and he’s making huge changes: board swaps, program cuts, and a public/private exit strategy

• Fannie/Freddie are being told to prep for crypto

• Pulte even canceled millions in what he called “DEI nonsense”

🛠️ Tariffs and Rates

• Massive tariffs on China, steel, aluminum—direct hit to homebuilders

• Mortgage rates dropped temporarily because of market panic, but homebuilder stocks tanked

• Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs are still under court fire, causing uncertainty at every level

📜 Executive Orders and Federal Freeze

• Emergency price controls on housing

• Federal hiring freeze + mass layoffs

• Red tape removals + DEI restrictions across housing agencies

All this—plus a few plot twists that even Netflix couldn’t script.

Until next time, stay informed, stay sharp, and as always… stay ALL IN!
