Mortgage fraud is epidemic in south Florida.
According to a recent article in the Daily Business Review, Florida ranks first in mortgage fraud and second in foreclosures. A variety of professionals associated with banking and the real estate industry could come under investigation of charges of mortgage fraud, including
- accountants
- appraisal services
- loan officers
- real estate agents
- real estate developers
- mortgage title companies
An investigation for mortgage fraud is lengthy. Each step could be challenged in your defense. Many fraud investigators don't know how to examine loan files properly, so the examination of evidence is a crucial skill your attorney should have. At Joffe and Joffe, PA we take a team approach and bring in experts in the field to build a solid, aggressive defense.
What are the Various Types of Mortgage Fraud Charges?
Mortgage fraud is the falsification of statements documents used in securing a home loan, property "flipping," or the violation of regulations to get a client's mortgage approved.
Common types of mortgage fraud include:
- False statements — obtaining a mortgage through misrepresentation of income, employment, residency or other loan documentation
- Property flipping — collusion with appraisers to buy property and turn around to sell it at a fraudulently inflated price so as to obtain excessive loans
- Occupancy fraud — False statements about primary residence to obtain a mortgage or to get better loan rates
- Non-disclosure — failure to disclose to a lender a second mortgage, or a "silent second" (third party providing the down payment)
- Signing blank loan applications
- Other fraud for profit, including foreclosure scams, equity skimming, or identity theft to obtain a mortgage
