The Treasury Department finalized two new rules to stop the use of residential real estate and private investment deals for money laundering. One rule will impact real estate agents. The other will impact investment advisors. This is a huge step for the Treasury to close loopholes that have turned the U.S. into an international money laundering machine.  Hi I’m Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors.
