The Looming Crisis Few Want to Confront Paul Daneshrad, CEO of StarPoint Properties and author of Money and Morons, is sounding the alarm: the United States is barreling toward a sovereign debt reckoning – and real estate professionals are not nearly prepared.   Citing economists Reinhart and Rogoff, along with voices as diverse as Jamie Dimon, Jerome Powell, and Ray Dalio, Daneshrad warns that the U.S. has not only crossed the 100% debt-to-GDP threshold, widely viewed as a critical danger zone, but has kept accelerating. "We're at 120 to 140% on-balance-sheet," he notes. "If you include off-balance-sheet liabilities, we're at 300%." While the exact timing of the crisis is unknowable, Daneshrad argues that its inevitability is not. “It's not a question of if – it's when.”   Politics, Populism, and Normalcy Bias Daneshrad is quick to dismiss the conventional partisan narrative. The deficit is no longer a left-right issue, it's a bipartisan affliction. Both political parties, he argues, are fueling structural imbalances. Worse, the electorate, while voicing concern, refuses to vote for hard choices.   This disconnect is the heart of his book's provocative title: Money and Morons. “86% of Americans say they're worried about the debt,” he says. “But they won't vote for politicians willing to solve it, because that solution involves pain.”   The result is what psychologists call “normalcy bias” – an instinct to ignore looming threats and retreat into the comfort of the familiar.   Fixed-Rate Fortresses: Real Estate's First Line of Defense If the debt crisis triggers hyperinflation and a spike in interest rates, as Daneshrad expects, the implications for real estate will be seismic. His response? Radical preparation.   StarPoint has already begun shifting its portfolio into 20+ year fixed-rate debt and is moving toward 30-year structures. “It's painful. It's more expensive. But if the crisis comes in eight years, and you've got two years left on a 10-year loan, you're vulnerable.”   He emphasizes that this is not a fringe view. “Even Powell, whose mandate doesn't include the deficit, felt compelled to warn the public. That's how serious it is.”   Deleveraging with Purpose Debt levels at StarPoint are also coming down – fast. The firm is targeting 40% leverage, down from a peak of 70%. They currently sit at 54%, and the journey continues.   The rationale is clear: when interest rates jump from 6% to 15%, the re-pricing of real estate will be brutal. “That's trillions in lost value,” says Daneshrad. “You have to de-risk now.”   The Forgotten Asset: Cash Cash, often derided for its lack of yield in boom times, plays a central role in Daneshrad's playbook. “The Rockefellers, Kennedys, Guggenheims – they had cash when it mattered. They bought at two cents on the dollar.”   Berkshire Hathaway's record cash holdings reinforce this strategy. “Buffett sees limited opportunity right now and high risk. That should tell you something.”   Daneshrad recommends targeting cash reserves as a percentage of either AUM or annual free cash flow, steadily building them over time. "Public companies get punished for it. Private firms like ours have more flexibility and we're using it."   Why He's Not Buying (Yet) Despite market dislocation, Daneshrad says StarPoint is mostly sitting on the sidelines. Cap rate spreads don't justify the risk, and few deals offer the deep value he's targeting.   “We're looking for rebound plays where sellers are on their third buyer and need certainty of close. That's where the discounts are. But those opportunities are rare.”   Asked whether the mispricing stems from short-term underwriting or optimism bias, he shrugs. “We've flooded the system with liquidity. Asset prices are artificially propped up.”   Diversification and the Limits of Real Estate Daneshrad is not betting the farm on U.S. real estate. He's pursuing modest geographic diversification abroad and expanding into non-real estate asset classes. “Historically, real estate hedges inflation well but a debt crisis changes everything.”   He's candid about the difficulty: “We're not that smart. Timing a crisis is hard. But we can prepare for one.”   The Aging America Conundrum One of the more nuanced points Daneshrad raises is the intersection of demography and fiscal sustainability. Aging, he agrees, is inevitable. But the care infrastructure it requires is not financially supported. “The trustees for Social Security and Medicare, not politicians, say the funds go bankrupt in under ten years. That's $90 trillion in off-balance-sheet liabilities.” Senior housing? “A great idea if the elderly can pay. But with savings rates at historic lows, I'm not optimistic.”   Market Signals That Matter Daneshrad watches for three early signs of crisis: A gradual rise in interest rates – not driven by Fed hikes but by market demands for higher risk premiums. Breakdown of the flight-to-safety dynamic – if equities fall but bond yields rise, that's a red flag. The ‘bang moment' – as coined by Reinhart and Rogoff, when confidence evaporates overnight. As Hemingway once said about bankruptcy, it happens "gradually, then suddenly."   What He'd Do with $1 Million Today If handed an extra million in cash, Daneshrad says he'd hold 80% in cash and invest the rest. “Protect the capital. Diversify over multiple asset classes. Liquidity is opportunity.”   Final Word Paul Daneshrad's message is sobering but clear: “Protect. Prepare. Don't pretend.” He doesn't claim to predict the future. But if you accept the warnings from the smartest voices in finance and economics, the case for defensive posturing is overwhelming.   And if they're wrong? You lose a few basis points. But if they're right you survive the bang.   *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.

In this episode of The Non-Prophets, the panel reacts to the alarming halt in CDC communications, with the U.S. now flying blind on public health threats. Budget cuts, mass firings, and political meddling have silenced disease alerts that once informed doctors, hospitals, and the public. The team dives into how dismantling the CDC's outreach endangers lives, erodes trust in science, and shows contempt for evidence-based governance. It's not about public safety—it's about control.NPR, “CDC's public health warnings go dark after staff firings, media freeze”By Elijah Nouvelage, May 21, 2025https://www.npr.org/2025/05/21/nx-s1-5387723/cdc-communications-cuts-social-media-public-healthThe Non-Prophets 24.23.1 with Eli Slack, Kelley Laughlin, and AJAmerica's Disease Watchdog Has Gone Silent

A phase 3 study showed that combining pelabresib with ruxolitinib significantly improved spleen volume reduction and symptom relief in myelofibrosis patients compared to ruxolitinib alone, offering a promising new treatment option. Long-term use of gantenerumab may delay Alzheimer's dementia onset in individuals with inherited Alzheimer's, supporting the amyloid hypothesis and paving the way for future prevention strategies. Phase 3 trials demonstrated that povorcitinib, an oral JAK1 inhibitor, significantly improved clinical outcomes in adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa, potentially offering a new treatment option. Research linked red meat allergy to bites from additional tick species, expanding the geographic risk area and highlighting the need for clinicians to consider this diagnosis in patients with unexplained allergic symptoms following tick bites.

“Primary care physicians are your first line of defense against cancer,” said Matthew Farrell, M.D., an Ohio State Wexner Medical Center primary care physician and a clinical associate professor of family and community medicine. Prevention, screenings and early detection are crucial and begins with a patient's family history with cancer and other medical issues. “We are thorough and ask about their first-degree relatives, their parents, siblings and children, and their secondary relatives, such as grandparents and aunts and uncles,” Farrell said. “If I see a pattern, a certain number of relatives with the same cancer, especially at an early age, there could be a genetic factor.” A patient with an inherited genetic mutation will then be screened at an earlier age and more often. Dr. Farrell also talked about the importance of children receiving the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine that prevents certain types of cancer. He examines patients to detect skin cancer and melanoma in the early stages. “Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer and it's personal for me; my mother was diagnosed with melanoma three times … and she's doing fine.” Breast cancer and prostate cancer are two of the most common forms of cancer. Dr. Farrell discussed when women should begin getting yearly mammograms, and why and when men should begin to undergo regular Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) tests. Men and women without a family history of colorectal cancer should get their first colonoscopy at 45. “My brother-in-law was 52 when he had his first colonoscopy,” Dr. Farrell said. “They found a large tumor in his colon; it was removed, and he's been cancer free for 20 years now.” Lung cancer screenings are relatively new and recommended for long-time smokers. They are vital because “if you wait until there are symptoms it's very hard to treat and cure,” Dr. Farrell said, adding “I'm fortunate to be part of the Ohio State system and the James where we have experts and specialists for every type of cancer and medical issue my patients have.”
