Welcome back to Market Mondays In this insightful clip, Troy Millings sits down with Matt Garland—better known as MG the Mortgage Guy—to unpack the biggest trends, myths, and strategies shaping the 2026 real estate landscape.

MG the Mortgage Guy drops gems you won’t hear anywhere else about home ownership, interest rates, economic shifts, and how anyone—regardless of starting point—can build generational wealth through smart real estate moves.
