Episode 216 - Why Fixed Debt Matters More Than Ever in Real Estate
About this episode
Dan Brisse discusses the importance of fixed-rate debt in the current commercial real estate market and shares insights on risk management and investment strategies.
Higher interest rates have changed the rules of commercial real estate—and hoping for rate cuts is no longer a strategy. In this episode of Keeping It Real Estate , Dan Brisse breaks down why the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance is forcing investors to rethink their approach. He explains why low-leverage, fixed-rate debt has become one of the most important tools for protecting capital, avoiding catastrophic losses, and surviving volatile market cycles. Dan also shares firsthand lessons from Granite Towers, discussing how disciplined underwriting, sticking to proven investment criteria, and resisting market hype can make the difference between surviving a downturn and being forced to sell. He explores why many operators are struggling today, how wealth transfers happen during market resets, and why patient investors are beginning to find opportunities again. If you want to understand how experienced real estate investors manage risk, protect downside, and position themselves for long-term success in today's market, this episode is for you.
