Mortgage Fraud Cases

Mortgage fraud may be committed by licensed and non-licensed mortgage brokers, and personnel at lending institutions or those associated with the lending industry, including underwriters, appraisers, loan originators, attorneys, real estate agents, land developers, investors, and more. Loan origination fraud includes misstatements, falsehoods, and omissions submitted in loan applications and documents which are used by lenders to fund or secure loans. Such fraud may consist of stating that one will occupy a property when not doing so, falsifying income or employment, failing to disclose liabilities, using a straw borrower, getting phony appraisals which falsely value properties in order to get a larger loan amount, and cash back schemes where rebates are given back to borrowers without the lender's knowledge. Other mortgage fraud schemes are illicit activities used in foreclosures, foreclosure rescues, short sales, loan modifications, reverse mortgages, and other mortgage-related areas to produce profits for lending professionals based on deceit.

Mortgage fraud may include schemes prosecuted as bank fraud, wire fraud, mail fraud, and money laundering, investigated and rigorously prosecuted by the FBI. In any case of mortgage fraud, your best interests will be served by seeking the professional legal representation of an experienced Atlanta mortgage fraud attorney at our firm.
