Welcome to the world of mortgages, the uncensored and understandable version. Join us on a fascinating journey through the complexities of the Israeli economy, where we transform complex concepts into practical knowledge that will save you a lot of money.
The world of mortgages is often perceived as intimidating, complex, and full of terms that are foreign to the average person. Interest rates, indices, amortization schedules, linked and unlinked tracks – all of these create great confusion among young couples and investors alike. The goal of "Mortgage in Pajamas" is to take this heavy subject and make it accessible in the most light, clear, and comfortable way possible – just like sitting in the living room in pajamas and chatting with a friend who understands the business.
In each episode, we dive deep into burning issues in the real estate and finance field. Whether you're looking for mortgage advice before purchasing your first apartment, or you're experienced investors interested in optimizing your property portfolio, this podcast was created for you. We believe that knowledge is power, and the more you know, the more informed decisions you can make that will save you hundreds of thousands of shekels over the life of your mortgage.
Ariel Achon brings to the table years of experience and deep familiarity with the banking system, breaking down the fine print that banks don't always want you to understand. This is not just another dry information channel, but a dynamic, current, and important conversation for every household in Israel.
A taste of the main topics covered in the podcast episodes
Many ask me, "Why listen to a podcast if I'm taking an advisor anyway?". The answer is simple: a client who understands is a client who profits more. When you approach the mortgage advisory process with basic knowledge and understanding of the concepts, the dialogue becomes much more productive. The podcast allows you to familiarize yourself with the terminology, understand the various considerations, and arrive better prepared for the meeting with the bank or advisor.
In the various episodes of "Mortgage in Pajamas," we sometimes host experts from related fields – lawyers, appraisers, and economists – to give you a complete 360-degree picture of the biggest transaction of your life. We analyze the impact of the Consumer Price Index on monthly payments, examine what happens when the prime rate rises, and explain why the lowest interest rate is not always the cheapest mortgage.
The podcast gives you the knowledge, we give you the solution. If you're about to purchase a home or interested in checking the feasibility of refinancing your mortgage, our office team is available for personal and tailored advice.
