Industry News

When occupancy fraud occurs, it is likely that taxes on gains are not paid, resulting in additional fraud. The schemes are usually not discovered until the lender tries to collect from the victim, who may incur substantial costs trying to prove the theft of his/her identity. The loan program was originally intended for self-employed professionals such as doctors, lawyers, stock brokers, realtors who have multiple expense write-offs on their tax returns that significantly reduced their gross income although their lifestyle was much higher than their adjusted gross income on their tax returns. Consequently, a lot of loan applications submitted with mortgage loans stated income incomes deemed to be inflated will not be approved.

People who individually operate multiple companies will usually need to provide two years of tax returns for each company in which they own 25 percent or more—potentially creating paperwork headaches. These are the borrowers who made the term "liar loan" before 2007 a reality when they were approved.

Qualification requirements are based on stable employment, good reserves, good FICO and no less than 40% equity position in the property. Occurs when a homes appraised value is deliberately overstated or understated.
