Services for Real Estate Pros with Marketing Specialist for CJ Realty Group/Cindy Jones Broker

It was reported this week that CoreLogic a mortgage data aggregator has lanched a new program to help lenders find potential short sale property flops.  The program is designed to alert the mortgage lender when more than one person has applied for a loan on the same property.

In a post written last fall Welcome to Short Sale Flopping, Cindy Jones posted about the growing monetary loss of short sale flops to lenders.  The FBI in Northern Virginia has been investigating investment groups and real estate agents who are involved in these transactions.

It is so crazy that there are truly people in need and those who try to profit from this devestating situation.  Every time someone gets things right in this lending mess I say yahoo. There are strong and swift accountability legislations coming into play for Strategic Short Sales too.

Mary-it would be nice to see tighter regulations on "flopping".  This is cost the American tax payer millions of dollars.  It will be interesting to see if the new programs will stem the tide of quesitonable activity.
