When is a super sweet Turkish pastry like a multi-million dollar real estate deal?

Join Dan and Noelle as they take a look at the complex world of development financing, where every layer is both savory and fragile at the same time.

Guests: Kevin O'Brien, Cleveland State University; Ryan Sommers, Grey Fox Capital; Ari Marin, MRN Ltd.
