I feel that I work in an industry that affords me the opportunity to make a difference in peoples lives.  I have been given great power, and with great power comes great responsibility.  I have a responsibility to police my industry from the scum that prey upon innocent naive people trying to make a quick buck. I hate hearing stories from people about investors stealing equity by inflating values, so much so that a normal person cannot own a house.  It is human nature to want to make money and do it with ease and simplicity, but how can one honestly think buying a house for 500K one month, and selling it for 600K the next month, and then a third sale to yet another investor for 700K a month later is legit? Capitalism is one thing, but creating value is another.  These people can say "The appraisal is legitimate, the value is there." but where did the value come from?  It came from the three other houses that the investment company owns that has been sold merry go round style amongst themselves to inflate the values of all three of them, making them "perfect" comps. Who is left holding the bag, the lenders in the end have it all thrown back on them, they own a house that last "sold" for 1.4 Million dollars that is worth 750K.

How does that effect all of us????? Higher rates and higher fees on our loans. If you know of anyone committing fraud, please have the guts to turn them in.  We all pay the price for a few bad apples and that isn't fair.

You do have a point about the appraisal issue, this is the second time around with bad appraisals. Back in 98 was the first time we had these problems on a large scale, you would think they would have found a way to fix it.

I deal with mortgage fraud every day now it seems. I still consider the lenders who advertise the .25% IO mortgage as frauders in my book. It is unreal the number of people who are taking advantage of people in our industry. I have turned in 8 lenders and LO's and will continue to do so. Thanks for the good post!

The Mortgage Industry has a lot of good people working to help buyers buy their dream home, or refinance their home when needed.  It is a few that give our our business a bad name.  Mortgage fraud does not belong in our business and should be reported!  There are too many loans available to help people the right way.  (At least there was a lot of programs.)  That is the other negative to loan fraud is that lenders are now cutting loan programs that are hurting everyone.

I have absolutely zero tolerance for fraud. About ten years ago, I worked for a company in which two loan officers where commiting fraud and I fired them on the spot and turned them in to the regulators. Fraud ruins the life of the victims and the reputation of our industry.

Hey David. I'm working on a post right now, about foreclosure scams. I'm going to put a link to this post in it, just as an additional reference for the victims of these scams. Will you read my post and let me know if it needs any tweaking?
