Lender belt-tightening has left a lot of individuals, who previously had access to borrowed funds with a lack of lucrative financing options. Hundreds of industry professionals have been indicted for criminal conduct and thousands of others have left the industry for other professions--yet even during a down real estate market builders, homeowners, and white collar criminals will explore creative ways to buy, sell, and refinance properties.
