The Financial Rebound Podcast

Welcome to The Financial Rebound Podcast. Hosted by Mike Hajjar, Branch Leader at NEO Home Loans powered by Better and Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist® with 19 years of mortgage lending experience and over 2,500 families served. After rebuilding from seven-figure debt without bankruptcy, Mike now teaches the strategies most lenders never explain. This is a mortgage education show for real life. Episodes break down how self-employed borrowers actually qualify for loans when their tax returns don't tell the full story. How to use a HELOC as a financial tool, not a trap. When a HECM reverse mortgage makes sense in retirement planning. How first-time buyers compete in tight markets. And how real estate investors structure financing to scale. Mostly solo episodes from Mike, with occasional guest conversations featuring operators, advisors, and investors who are doing the work in the trenches. If you're a business owner, homeowner, future buyer, or investor who wants to understand the mortgage side of building wealth, you're in the right place. Subscribe and start your own rebound.
