A lender then encourages homeowner to borrow more money than they can afford, and perhaps “assists” by falsifying some information on application. The lender does this with hopes that homeowner will default on loan. When homeowner defaults, lender forecloses on property, sells property, and keeps home’s equity as profit. This is one of many scams that can currently be found in mortgage industry, and one that can be avoided if potential borrowers will take time to do a bit of research before signing on dotted line. Homeowners who are interested in refinancing their home should investigate prospective lenders before doing business with them. Contacting friends who have recently refinanced or local Better Business Bureau would be a good place to start. Lenders who call you out of blue or knock on your door are probably best avoided. ©Copyright 2005 by Retro Marketing.
