2 No Stone Left Unturned We're looking at the industry from all sides and viewpoints in this issue. From investment strategies and business ethics to solving the ever-growing abandoned housing problem, this month's DS News shines the spotlight on all the issues our sector faces and more. On the cover, we've got "Researching to See Value," by Phil Britt. A thorough look at the booming investment market, Britt's piece examines methods for finding the best properties in today's ever-competitive space. ough it may be harder than in years past, experts tell Britt it's still possible to find high-yield investments—it just takes serious vetting and research on the part of investors. In "And the Verdict is ...," Brianna Gilpin delves into the tale of Rashmi Airan, a former lawyer who inadvertently played a role in mortgage fraud—and served prison time for it. Airan is now using her story to inspire professionals across the country, shedding light on ethical issues and the best methods for tackling them. "e Perfect Storm" is part two in Brian Lee's series on the growing efforts to fast- track foreclosure processes. Long a burden to buyers, lenders, and the cities they live and operate in, time-consuming foreclosures impact virtually every facet of the homebuying industry—and according to the experts Lee talked to, it will take all these parties and more to solve the issue. Look out for part three in this series next month. Finally, in "Bucking Stereotypes," omas Gasparol introduces us to Codilis & Associates, P.C., a Chicago-based law firm that's taking a more humane approach to the often cold and sterile world of default servicing. It's an issue that's both thought provoking and eye opening, and I hope you find it valuable.
