Real Estate Broker 2) Licensing for real estate agents and mortgage brokers is much too easy. The requirements for licensing need to require a greater level of education, more than a high school degree as a prerequisite for licensing and harder licensing requirements, such as more pre-licensing education and harder tests. This will result in better people and less people entering the real estate profession.

Agency Brokerage Spark 3) Lenders need to offer less loan programs, for example, stated income loans (some refer to this as inflated income loans) and no doc (no documentation loans).

Sell your home for only 50 no other fees, full estate agency service and no broker fees mortgage advice.

Business Broker 4) Most lenders require an IRS (Internal Revenue Service) Form 4506 at time of closing. Now, there is something that an underwriter or lender can request information and stop an inflated (aka stated) income mortgage application dead in its tracks. If they lie on their income tax return, is it possible that they would lie on their mortgage application?

Brokerage Account 5) Lack of educational programs in the real estate profession to identify mortgage fraud - could be wishful thinking, due to the Privacy Act - but at least a start. Where to report suspected mortgage fraud situations to the appropriate law enforcement authorities.

Stock Broker 6) The credit reporting and scoring system needs an overhaul. Too often, I find errors on credit reports, where the creditor is not reporting timely or accurately information. For example, a customer settled in full his collection action in the later part of February '06. The collection agency in the later part of April is still showing a portion of the account as outstanding with a current date. Yes, they reported the payment, but did not remove the negotiated portion of the balance.

Broker Justin Ticket What could possibly be done to reduce the mortgage fraud:

Real Estate Brokerage 1) More checks and balances within the system to identify potential mortgage fraud situations.

Commodity Broker 2) More education for all real estate professionals - real estate agents, REALTORS, underwriters, lenders, etc.

Brokerage House 3) Greater licensing requirements for all. And licensing requirements where no licensing is required at this time.

Real Estate Broker Exam 4) Implementation of a "whistle blower" protection system and telephone hotline.

Brokerage Services 5) Proactive preventative action on the part of lenders.

Online Brokerage Firm 7) Enforcement of the paragraphs from the typical mortgage, which reference the borrower's loan application and acceleration clauses: Borrower's Loan Application. Borrower shall be in default if, during the Loan application process, Borrower or any persons or entities acting at the direction of the Borrower or with Borrower's knowledge or consent gave materially false, misleading, or inaccurate information or statements to the Lender (or failed to provide Lender with material information) in connection with the Loan. Material representations include, but are not limited to, representations concerning Borrower's occupancy of the Property as Borrower's principal residence. Acceleration; Remedies. Lender shall give notice to Borrower prior to acceleration following Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement in this Security Instrument...(d) that failure to cure the default on or before the date specified in the notice may result in acceleration of the sums secured by this Security Instrument, foreclosure by judicial proceeding and sale of the Property.

Security Broker Dealer 8) Better and possibly required education of prospective borrowers, so they can recognize the impact and identify situations.

Coldwell Banker Residential Implementation of number 6 above will send shock waves into the communities and cause the less desirable professionals out of business and awareness to borrowers. Many may argue that this will be costly to the overall economy or lenders if foreclosure proceedings are needed, but in the long run there could considerable savings for all.

Freight Broker In summary, mortgage fraud may continue, until such time that the losses reach greater levels unless there is a proactive preventative overall program to curb it. Old country saying "you don't close the gate after the horse leaves the corral."
