TL:DR Need a Mortgage? Use Market Advantage, they will help you get a mortgage for your sex tent or anything else that you can mortgage. It helps Surly, them, and by proxy the Burnt Ends.

I'm completely dumbfounded how we convinced Market Advantage to be our first official corporate sponsor. Join me and the Surly Horns team in welcoming Market Advantage (you know them as Gabe Winslow and Paul Wadlington) as the

[Surly Horns Official] Mortgage Provider.  

Let's get to know the Market Advantage team: @Scipio and @Wulaw Horn is how you might know them from their Surly Horns handles, but if you’ve spent any time on the longhorn interwebs you know Paul has a long and storied history interacting with us. From Horn Fans to Barking Carnival and now at Inside Texas and the Everyone Gets a Trophy Podcast, Paul has been writing about UT football for years. Not only is he a great writer he’s a huge fan, all around good guy, but most importantly "one of us" internet assholes. 
 
If you’ve spent any time at Surly you know Gabe as @Wulaw Horn. Most famous for buying an RV and going on a crazy tour of the US and then shaving the top off his RV. By far the most important thing Gabe has done in his life is adding “Sex Tent” to the Surly Horns lexicon. 

Reach them at https://www.mortgagesbygabe.com/  or 832-557-1095. (Don't worry, you won't get signed up for cat facts if you contact them)

On a more serious note:

Why have we decided to partner with Market Advantage? They put their money where their mouth is, they're good at what they do, and they want this community to flourish. They are active BMD's to the Burnt Ends and are real, active participants in the community not just some guys trying to peddle a service. 

Give Gabe & Paul a chance to earn your business so that we can keep breaking the internet with our crazy stunts at Surly Horns.

Thanks so much guys, I can't tell you how excited I am to be in partnership with y'all.  

I've been on the Texas Internets since Hornfans was the 800 pound gorilla before Wheeler and Agnor split, and have enjoyed the hell out of the 20 years of community that I've had, staying in touch with UT through law school and then marriage, having a family, and maybe even growing up a little bit.  I met Paul through working together sponsoring his podcast, and gained a really good and genuine friend, and someone I'm proud to work with.  His community, of which I'm sure there is an overlap of EGAT listeners and IT readers here on Surly has just been amazing to work with and I look forward to working with people here.  Thank you so much for the community building you guys have done.

What you can expect when you call or email me asking about deal points:  


1) Straight shooting. I'm not going to fluff you, bluff you or try to confuse you. I'm going to tell you what we can do for you and explore the options in the market place and give you options to choose from.

2) Professionalism- I'm a lawyer by training, I'm pretty methodical about gathering all the data points from you to make sure you are going to get the deal that makes sense for you, and I understand and live confidentiality- nothing we talk about is ever going to be shared in the community- unless you want to share it with the community

3) Great pricing- I didn't end up where I ended up by accident.  I chose to be a broker and work with the biggest broker in the country because they have the most lenders- which means the best consistent pricing in the market place.  When lenders compete- you win was the old tagline.  It's true- that's why we have almost 100 lenders that we can do transactions with.

4) Reinvestment in this community- The thing I'm most excited about with our sponsorship is the ability to affect positive changes for UT and for Surly.  I've met some of you offline, I'm going to meet more with the Arkansas trip, and I want this to be a vibrant place.  Before Burnt Endz was a thing I made a commitment to @immamacthat nobody would be more supportive and give more than @Scipioand I.  We bought two of the highest level sponsorships and have committed to buy 12 spots in the TE fantasy camp that is being proposed. We plan on doing something here with those spots to promote Surly interests and make this community a better place. Part of the reason I'm so excited to go with @RGBIII and @immamac on this trip is going to be to work out the best way to use those spots in the TE camp to further this community and have the most fun.  

If there's anything else you guys want to see this community grow into please know that we will be first in line to help make that happen.

Thanks for the generous intro. We're fired up about this partnership. Surly is Gabe's home base (and I'm a long time lurker) and the opportunity to invest in the community is an honor we don't take lightly. Helping to optimize an important part of your financial life is a responsibility that we take seriously. Thanks for giving us a shot at earning your business.

Hook 'em.

I've been listening to EGAT since the beginning (and reading Scipio since the Barking Carnival days) and never put it together that Wulaw was Gabe. Does this mean David is Swam4Texas?

No he's not.  Don't put that evil on him around these parts.  I liked Swam ok but he was an aquired taste.  Nobody dislikes David McC.

As an aside, because tribalism, it's probably worth mentioning that Inside Texas welcomed RGBIII's promo of Burnt Ends , pinned it on the main board, passed it around social. Even though we're all supposed to be competitors or some bullshit. Point being: the smart communities are working together to make the football good. The less smart see everything as zero sum. That's why Gabe and I gladly kicked in on the surly NIL deal rather than just doing our own. 

A lot of opportunity for cooperation when everyone just wants to make the football good.

As long as that cooperation still means FCB (and “kurt”, and ketch), good deal.

You know, cause fuck ‘em.

I refi-ed last year, but I will certainly keep you in mind with my next purchase.  This is good stuff, hook 'em

I did the same last year (and am also in Ohio), but I should have a few graduating doc students next year that will be moving somewhere around the country for as new tenure track faculty, so I will keep you guys in mind.

Do you guys only do Texas or do you do nationwide?

For now, Texas, but that footprint is expanding by the day.  Bottom line is that I view my job as helping people so I do lots of consults for people out of state as @Scipio can verify from all his listeners that have reached out to him with some version of this story... "So, Gabe did a free consult with me, listened to what I was thinking, told me what type of deal I should be in and then told me what would be a great rate in the current market, a good rate in the current market, an average rate in the current market and what would just kind of suck... Thanks for telling me to call him."

  We are happy to do that here on Surly as well. Truthfully, there are just a ton of good people on Surly that will answer your questions about anything, without expecting anything out of it.  It's really a tremendous community in that way.  We are certainly going to help along those lines.  There are a few users in other states here that could share that same story if they so choose that we've helped them in that way.

There is a zero percent chance RGBIII can launch into a Gabe commercial as smoothly as @Scipio does on the EGAT podcast.  Sometimes I'll be 45 seconds into Paul's spiel before I even realize I'm nodding along to a commercial.  But I'm looking forward to RGB trying.

We're looking at doing a home build in the next 12-16 months. Shot in the dark here but do you guys do VA construction loans?

So- there’s like 3 lenders in the world that offer that program. It’s a niche of a niche. We e got 100 options to find that needle in a hat stack so I will looks and get back with you.

He really is amazing isn’t he. And he’s not even the trained radio professional. Sometimes I will be listening, I will have told him what’s going on and what to inform listeners of and I don’t even see it coming.

I love it!  I listen to both podcasts and enjoy them.  I am also from the days of Longhornfanzone and Hornfans (pre suckage).  I probably tailgated with the EGAT guys back in the day.  You Surly guys are likely too young to have been at those tailgates, but you’re carrying the torch well.  I’m also a Longhorn Blitz fan because of Rod Babers, so I hope that doesn’t cut across the wrong lines.  Fuck the rest though, I’m an OG internet asshole like the rest of you.

Can confirm. Great rate that he offered to help with out of state.

I used to moderate the baseball board on LFZ. Didn’t require much moderation.

Ha ha, I’ll bet.  I have a lot of good Bob tailgate stories, but my favorite was when Bob and some of his friends got kicked out of a UT tennis match and banished back to the tailgate.  I think it might have been the spring game one of those years, but I can’t remember.

I wasn’t there for that. Spring game it was. Do you remember Sugar Horn?  The 80 year old guy that would bring that rocket fuel he called rum... it was always fun to see him drink the kids under the table the night before a game. Coolest 80 year old man I ever met.

Was that the guy that sold his wide-angle photo of Ricky breaking the rushing record at the tailgate parties?  I have one of those in a storage unit.

Yeah, I think I remember that guy!  I was one of the kids that got whipped, but I didn’t realize he was that old.  I assume he’s not still killing tailgates is he?

Do you remember Cory Redding’s Dad hanging out?  He was super cool and even tried to convince me to stay another year even though I was graduating.  Sloan Thomas’s Mom used to party there too.

No. 
he used to fly a small plane from island to USA land all the way down to Rio for carnival. And, he used to fix pianos for free but only in exotic places around the world where someone would fly him down and out him up. 
he was an engineer by trade.

You may be wondering about some of our other friends that are in the mortage business and have helped many Surly Horns users in the past. They are still friends, but just aren't the official partner of Surly Horns. 

 

Well how do we fix that?

Just talked to Gabe and bent his ear about reaching a long held dream of mine. Finding and buying my slice of Texas dirt and building a casa on Rancho Dachshund.
It didn’t take him but a few minutes to work out a potential plan that now puts that dream within reach. I honestly had begun to think that as I became a member of that august group ( Old Farts Club) that I might not see that become a reality. I look forward to working with him to make that happen.

Gabe , I think you are a gentleman and a scholar, no matter what others on here might say.

Hook’em!
