Mortgage fraud and real estate fraud involves a material misstatement, misrepresentation or omission relied upon by a lender (i.e. bank) to fund, purchase or insure a loan. There are various mortgage fraud schemes including silent second schemes, fictitious/stolen identity, inflated appraisals, foreclosure schemes, property flipping, and air loans. Most mortgage fraud or real estate fraud cases involve one of the following:

  • Nominee Loans/Straw Buyers – The identity of the borrower is concealed through the use of a nominee who allows the borrower to use the nominee’s name and credit history to apply for a loan.
