MORTGAGE FRAUD INVESTIGATIONS
Welcome to Investigative Solutions LLC, where we specialize in uncovering the truth behind mortgage fraud. With the rise in complexities within the real estate market, mortgage fraud has become a significant concern for individuals, financial institutions, and regulatory authorities alike. Our expert team of investigators is dedicated to assisting clients in identifying and mitigating risks associated with mortgage fraud.
Mortgage fraud can take various forms, and it’s important to note that engaging in any form of mortgage fraud is illegal and can result in severe penalties, including fines and imprisonment.
Here are some common examples of mortgage fraud:
1. Income Fraud: Borrowers misrepresent their income on loan applications to qualify for larger loans or better interest rates. This can involve providing false income documentation, such as inflated salary figures or fictitious employment records.
2. Occupancy Fraud: Borrowers misrepresent the occupancy status of the property. For example, claiming that a property will be owner-occupied when the borrower intends to use it as an investment property or rental.
3. Appraisal Fraud: This involves artificially inflating the value of a property through deceptive means. This can include providing false comparable sales data or pressuring appraisers to overvalue the property.
4. Straw Buyer Schemes: In this scheme, a person with good credit is used to apply for a mortgage on behalf of someone else who doesn’t qualify for a loan. The true buyer might have poor credit or be intending to commit fraud in some other way.
5. Builder Bailout: In this scenario, builders facing financial trouble may collude with mortgage professionals to sell properties at inflated prices to straw buyers or buyers who otherwise wouldn’t qualify for the mortgage.
6. Silent Second: This involves the undisclosed secondary loan taken out by the buyer to cover the down payment. The primary lender is misled into believing that the buyer has invested their own money into the property.
7. Foreclosure Rescue Schemes: Scammers target homeowners facing foreclosure and offer to save their homes in exchange for upfront fees or the transfer of the property title. However, the scammers often fail to deliver on their promises, leaving the homeowners in worse financial situations.
8. Identity Theft: Fraudsters may use stolen identities to apply for mortgages, essentially posing as someone else to obtain a loan.
9. Fraudulent Documentation: This includes providing false or altered documentation such as bank statements, tax returns, or employment records to support the mortgage application.
10. Equity Skimming: Investors may deceive lenders by using straw buyers to purchase properties, then skimming the equity from the property without making mortgage payments, leaving the lender with the default.
