Bottom LineUpfront fees are only lining the pockets of the fraudulent lenders, while wasting your valuable time, in essence losing money for you, your client and most importantly your credibility with your borrowers.Sincerely,Joanne ScoratowPresidentJS Financial, LLCDirect: 561-716-1568www.js-financial.com

Hello,I came across a single-family home in a decent neighborhood that's not being cared for, but it does look like there are people living there.After some initial research, it looks like the person who owned the home was indicted on wire and identity fraud to obtain multiple fraudulent mortgages.

Obviously I would want to take title, but in the event that is not an option, I am seeking to see if there are other options someone had used before to combat this scenario.

I'm glad to hear that they aren't combative, just slow. 

But he was in jail.We feel that the county sold us a fraudulent property title.

Provided you aren't providing fraudulent paperwork, there is no rule against 'helping' an appraiser do her or his job well and see the value that you see.

The watermark is crucial for combating CL scammers .- make sure you use your phone number.

We have also seen an increase in multigenerational housing - parents living with kids and vice versa to combat high housing costs and to save once they are ready to purchase.Inventory for multifamily is on the lower side, especially in SL county.

For example, do you know how to identify a fraudulent id, or employment background?

Nothing fraudulent about it at all.
