Brandon Turner’s $15M Syndication Collapse - with Michael Zuber

This episode breaks down Brandon Turner’s syndication failure in Katy, Texas — a deal that lost roughly $15 million after being bought at a sub-4% cap and burdened with short-term debt. Hosts analyze where the underwriting failed, how strong operations couldn’t save an overpaid asset, and why access to large audiences can enable risky deals.
