In this episode, Mike Roeder explains how interest rate changes impact property values, loan proceeds, cash flow, refinancing options, and investor returns. You'll learn why strong markets can't always offset higher borrowing costs, how cap rate expansion can erase millions in value even when income stays the same, and why many deals struggled over the past few years despite solid fundamentals.

Mike also breaks down the risks of floating-rate debt, what went wrong with short-term financing at the top of the market, and why Granite Towers prioritizes fixed-rate debt and conservative underwriting. Whether you're an active operator or a passive investor, this episode will help you better understand how debt and interest rates shape real estate outcomes.
