RE:
Flip Transactions
Dear Associates:
Mortgage fraud continues to be an expanding problem in Florida and in the rest of the nation as well. It appears that flip transactions are becoming more and more the vehicle of mortgage fraud. Rarely are there legitimate flip transactions.
Accordingly, you are advised to do flip transactions only with prior written underwriting approval.
