Lots of changes in the world of money lately - the Dodd Frank Act has been revised, Bank of the Ozarks is no longer offering mortgages and community banks are being swallowed up by larger institutions.  

How is this affecting real estate investors?  We've put together a Panel of Pros to talk about that and what the trends are for acquiring, using and lending money.  If this hasn't affected how your Deals are structured yet, it certainly will in the future.
