Evolve or Risk Insanity
In "JackChat: Evolve or Risk Insanity," Jack critiques the commercial real estate industry's reliance on short-term financial strategies, such as floating-rate debt and quick asset turnovers, which have become problematic amid rising interest rates. Drawing from his experience during the high-interest era of the 1980s, Cohen emphasizes the value of long-term investment approaches, including amortizing loans and sustained asset management. He warns that without a shift back to these foundational practices, the industry risks repeating past mistakes and facing significant financial instability.
