It astounds me when I see the credit some of these people got that are now facing foreclosure. How did they do it? These mortgage brokers and bankers should be shot. Look at this woman Claudia here in Miami.
In February 2006 she bought a Unit in Brickell Vista for $301,900. She got a first mortgage for $241,500. Her second mortgage was for $60,380. The second mortgage was a Home Equity Loan. So “0” went down. She got her loans from J.P. Morgan Chase Custody Services.
In March 2006 — one month later -- she bought a one bedroom unit 307 for $166,400. She got an interest only loan for $133,120 at 8% interest that can go up to 13%. She got a second balloon for $33,280 with a prepayment rider. Again "0" down. These 2 mortgages were from Flick Mortgage Investors and Hemisphere was the Title Company.
In 2007 both first mortgages were foreclosed. The $241,499.99 mortgage grand total was $256,867.73. She owed almost $9,000 in interest. This unit is due to be sold on August 30th.
Her $133,120 interest only loan foreclosed at $144,457.20. She owed $8,000 in interest. It was due to be sold August 15th. A unit might sell for $144,457 in the area but what about the $33,280 balloon? If you add that to the price, the unit will never sell. Who can make money on these condos?
I checked both units and other sales in the building complex. She bought them at market value — but why did she buy them? The market was already crashing down in 2006 at the time she purchased these. What did she gain? And, will someone please tell me what happens to the 2nd mortgages?
The fact that these purchases were a month apart, leads me to believe that perhaps the second set of lenders didn't know about the first deal. Was there a lag time to file the papers with the clerk? This deal also makes me question the safety for the first lenders. Maybe the Morgan/Chase group did their due diligence researching this woman. However, with a 100% loan, I doubt it, however, who or what protects a lender from what the buyers do after their closing? Apparently, there is no protection. Morgan/Chase, in fact, have to stand in line, they are the second foreclosure even though they were the first sale. Actually they don't have to stand in line, somehow Deutsche Bank and Federal National Mortgage are the Plaintiffs in each of these foreclosures now.
Look at the foreclosure index on the right for more examples of individual foreclosures.

....and didn't she sign a personal financial statement when buying and financing the second unit where she was probably asked about here other holdings? Why isn't she being prosecuted for fraud?
Steven, that is where I think there is fraud. Why is no one investigating the phony paper work. Fudging numbers to defraud lenders is against the law. People should be arrested. I don't know who, but someone is not playing it straight.
