The purpose of this study is to provide insight into the breadth and depth of mortgage fraud crimes perpetrated against the United States and its citizens during 2010. This report updates the 2009 Mortgage Fraud Report and addresses current mortgage fraud projections, issues, and the identification of mortgage fraud “hot spots.” The objective of this study is to provide FBI program managers and the general public with relevant data to better understand the threat posed by mortgage fraud. The report was requested by the Financial Crimes Section, Criminal Investigative Division (CID), and prepared by the Financial Crimes Intelligence Unit (FCIU), Directorate of Intelligence (DI). This report is based on FBI; federal, state, and local law enforcement; mortgage industry; and open source reporting. Information was also provided by other government agencies, including the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development-Office of Inspector General (HUD-OIG), the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and the U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Industry reporting was obtained from LexisNexis, Mortgage Asset Research Institute (MARI), RealtyTrac, Inc., Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), Interthinx, and CoreLogic. Some industry reporting was acquired through open sources. While the FBI has high confidence in all of these sources, some inconsistencies relative to the cataloging of statistics by some organizations are noted. For example, suspicious activity reports (SARs) are cataloged according to the year in which they are submitted, but the information contained within them may describe activity that occurred in previous months or years. The geographic specificity of industry reporting varies, as some companies report at the ZIP code level and others by city, region, or state. Many of the statistics provided by the external sources, including FinCEN, FHA, and HUD OIG, are captured by fiscal year (FY); however, this report focuses on the calendar year findings as reported by mortgage industry and economic data sources. Additionally, there are also variances in the reporting of fraud depending on who the victim is (either a financial institution or a homeowner). While these discrepancies have minimal impact on the overall findings stated in this report, we have noted specific instances in the text where they may affect conclusions.
Several years ago, I realized that there were many people who were interested in purchasing a home but had no idea where to begin. I spent countless hours and many evenings away from home helping these individuals understand the home buying process and its intricacies. There are not classes taught in high school or college that teach people the facts or procedures of arguably the biggest financial purchase in one's lifetime. Thus, I decided that with the wealth of experience and knowledge I had accumulated over the previous 12 years, I would finally put this information in plain and simple English for anyone to access. I have seen almost every situation imaginable and thought that it would be wonderful to put a book such as this together so that everyone could have a reference guide to the do's and don'ts of home financing.
There are many aspects to the entire process, but if I could cover a majority of the typical issues that arise when buying or refinancing, I might be able to make a difference in an industry that I love. There is a powerful and satisfying feeling that comes over me every time I put another delighted client into their home. My dad always said, "It's not as important which career you choose as it is to choose one that you love". I must say being a mortgage broker has brought me fulfillment and pride in knowing I truly help people accomplish one of their biggest dreams. So with that said, I hope you enjoy the contents and may the tips included in this book help you fulfill your dream.
