Defining What Mortgage Fraud Means

The FBI defines mortgage fraud as a “material misstatement, misrepresentation, or omission in relation to a mortgage loan which is then relied upon by a lender.” Mortgage fraud may be committed by a lender, buyer, seller, appraiser or another real estate professional.

The following are examples of mortgage fraud:

  • Inflating an appraisal to obtain a higher mortgage loan
  • Misrepresenting income or assets
  • Posing as a borrower on behalf of another party
  • Equity skimming
  • Foreclosure prevention and loan modification scams
  • Illegal property flipping
  • Air loans
  • Home equity conversion mortgage (HECM) schemes

Under federal law, mortgage fraud may be punishable by up to 30 years in prison and up to $1 million in fines. The rest of your life, along with your financial security, may be in immediate jeopardy if you’re charged with mortgage fraud.
