In this episode, hosts Tait Duryea and Ryan Gibson talk with chief economist Dr. Peter Linneman to demystify interest rates, the national deficit, and how it all affects pilots, real estate investors, and entrepreneurs. Discover why U.S. debt may not be the threat it’s made out to be, how capital flows drive values, and what most people get wrong about inflation and treasury yields. They also unpack commercial real estate's current cycle, the impact of bonus depreciation, and why now might be the smartest time to invest if you know where to look. Dr. Peter Linneman is a renowned economist, former Wharton professor, and founder of Linneman Associates. With a PhD from the University of Chicago and decades of experience advising major firms and boards, he is the author of the industry-standard textbook Real Estate Finance and Investments and publisher of the respected Linneman Letter. In this episode, he shares plainspoken economic insight tailored for high-income professionals and investors.
