I’m David Braun, Mortgage Loan Officer, NMLS #303007, and I created my YouTube channel to give homebuyers, homeowners and real estate professionals straightforward information about mortgages, housing and the financial events that can influence mortgage rates.
Mortgage lending has changed dramatically since I entered the business in 1997. Technology and artificial intelligence can provide information faster than ever, but borrowers still need something technology cannot replace: strategy, experience and real human guidance.
Welcome to the Mortgage Maniac
I call myself the Mortgage Maniac because I believe borrowers deserve more than someone who simply quotes an interest rate.
The goal is to understand the entire mortgage picture—credit, income, assets, property taxes, insurance, loan programs, monthly payment and long-term financial strategy.
That philosophy is the foundation of MortgageOS — the Mortgage Operating System.
What You’ll Find on the Channel
Mortgage Rate Updates
Understand the economic reports, inflation data and market events that may influence mortgage rates.
Chicago Housing

Homebuyer Education

Mortgage Strategy

AI Can Give You Answers. Experience Helps Build the Strategy.
Mortgage calculators and AI tools can answer questions, but every borrower has a different financial story.
The right mortgage strategy considers where you are today, where you want to go and how the mortgage fits into your overall financial life.
My YouTube channel combines modern mortgage technology with the human experience that remains essential when making one of the largest financial decisions of your life.
