The January issue of the Scotsman Guide features a Q&A interview of incoming National REIA President Doug DeShields, who shares his insight & wisdom on the vital role real estate investors play in the housing industry. In particular, Residential Edition editor Will McDermott asked Doug about the issues facing real estate investors, what areas are hot, the status of flipping, doing rehabs and more.

That is actually a bigger problem than finding the money.
