Bryan Sullivan Answers “Can A Felon Get A Commerical Real Estate Loan” In MarketWatch

In the wake of former President Donald Trump’s conviction, Bryan Sullivan spoke to MarketWatch’s Joy Wiltermuth about the question of whether or not convicted felons can obtain a commercial real estate loan. Trump’s verdict left many questioning the barriers he (and other convicted felons) will face in the real estate market, especially given that his business endeavors have largely centered around real estate.
