Adam Raboy, CFO of Flag Luxury Group, advises finance leaders to focus on current transaction terms rather than waiting for lower interest rates. Many chose floating rate debt assuming rates would drop further post-crisis. Raboy emphasizes locking in rates that work instead of getting greedy, as building assets is key.

Raboy, CFO since 2009, oversees financing for Flag, which has developed $6 billion in luxury properties. He prioritizes structuring deals and developments over day-to-day financial reporting. Raboy notes the current market offers diverse financing options, including high yield debt and private capital, making it a good time for deals.

Raboy suggests considering long-term holds for properties and advises locking in deals that work. He highlights the importance of not being afraid to commit to deals that are financially sound, as the market offers ample liquidity and a variety of lenders.
