Most real estate investors are focused on the Fed's next rate cut…

But according to Greg Makoff, a former Salomon Brothers executive who's studied debt crises worldwide…

…we're missing the bigger picture.

The Congressional Budget Office projects US debt will surge from 100% to over 150% of GDP…

…and the implications for real estate can be severe.

Listen in as Greg reveals what Argentina's debt crisis can teach us about protecting our portfolios.

Greg has deep experience advising Fortune 100 companies on interest rate risk and wrote the book on Argentina's economic collapse.

In today's episode, we break down:

• Why a 300 basis point rate spike isn't as unlikely as you think

• How politics make meaningful debt reduction nearly impossible

• What happens when markets stop buying US Treasuries

• The real reason floating rate debt destroyed so many deals

Plus, he shares the exact economic indicators he watches to spot the trouble ahead...

If you want to understand how the debt crisis could impact your real estate investments listen to the episode now.
