with Mendy Pollack
The Commercial Real Estate Reckoning
ABOUT THE EPISODE
Commercial real estate risk is building beneath the surface and most of the market still isn’t acknowledging it.
Mendy Pollack, a veteran operator in commercial real estate and non-performing loans, joins Debt Doctor to reveal the growing stress inside the CRE market.
From his transition out of mortgage brokerage into distressed note buying, to hard lessons learned during the 2008 financial crisis, this conversation pulls back the curtain on borrower psychology, bank exposure, and why common sense has become a rare asset in commercial real estate.
We discuss the unique complexity of commercial real estate versus residential, the risks hiding inside high-leverage structures, and why commercial mortgage distress may accelerate as refinancing pressure builds.
If you’re watching commercial real estate, distressed debt, or bank risk exposure, this conversation will sharpen your lens.
