19% mortgage fraud rate?

Bullwhip29 shared this story claiming 1 in 5 millennials commit mortgage fraud:

Around one in five (19 per cent) of Millennial home buyers responding to the survey admitted to inflating their annual income on their mortgage application. And nearly 23 per cent of Millennial home buyers said they think this is an acceptable course of action in today’s mortgage climate — nearly double the 12 per cent of all respondents who agreed this was OK.

Shit It Down Already (original)

There is no bigger fraud/scam artist/shyster on Richmond Council than Harold Steves….

He claims he has Scottish blood..lollololol …when in fact his family has Germanic roots…aka “Steib “was the original family name.

Somehow the ALR GODFATHER’s 150 year old family farm was never included in the ALR…..given he was an NDP MLA at the time of the ALR’s creation under the Barrett Gov’t.

….His bogus farm pays about $500 per year in taxes..based on farm assessment criteria ……yet is worth millions asap once they choose to develop…ie under normal BC assessment of” higher and best use” he should be paying $40,000 + per year

…..
F*CKING HYPOCRITE ..like majority of Libtards

There is debate over whether anti-government protests in Hong Kong will lead to an exodus of its residents, but Vancouver developers are piling into the Chinese territory to offer Canadian condos to anyone planning an exit

Laibach

Right, there is no enough Chinese here so good to bring more of them anyway.

Bag it and tag it

One thing to take into account is that most of the HK folks that got a Canadian citizenship back in the 90s are likely really really old now and are more likely to say fuk it and just ride it out over there now. Any that are not Canadian citizens likely have zero interest in paying 20% tax to buy in an inflated, crashing market.

Bag it and tag it

The left hates anything logical that they have no counter argument for.

xhistory

The left is better served abandoning their rhetoric and living in communes. And being a success at it. There’s so much squawking now because the system makes us dependant on govt handout money.

Best place on meth

The bankruptcy of sovereign nations is needed to purge us of oppressive, tax grabbing governments and to put an end to freeloading scumbags who expect to be taken care of financially while they spend their time snowboarding rather than working hard.

Looking at you, millennial assholes.

Liberal may get a majority government again, now we have Maxime Bernier to split the vote. Just great!

“And nearly 23 per cent of Millennial home buyers said they think this is an acceptable course of action in today’s mortgage climate.”

Oh, I see. And what else is now acceptable? So fraud is ok? Is claiming bankruptcy ok too? Ok not to pay your taxes and bills? Now, what would Canada look like if we all joined the party? Oh, did I hear 3rd world?
Slippery slope it is.

Those that take part of this behavior are not to call the kettle black as they are contributing to problem.

Confiscate that money, put it into a fund for intelligent poor struggling students that will be an asset for the country.
1/2 million dollars just to play soccer or pretend that you have? Yes.. confiscate and fine to the hilt. We should encourage more dummy mummys to do this. Look how much good they are doing by being idiots (the money put into funds for poor struggling, but intelligent ambitious students).

Meanwhile in the UK:
“Help to Buy could hit consumers and the government with ‘significant financial risks’ ” The Telegraph

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/property/uk/help-buy-could-hit-consumers-government-significant-financial/

“Help to Buy has exposed both the government and homebuyers to “significant financial risks”, according to a report by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). The report also found that it “only benefits those in a position to buy their own house in the first place”. The majority of the £11.7 billion the government lent through the Help to Buy equity loan scheme went to people who could afford to purchase a property without the subsidy, the PAC found.”

Bag it and tag it

I reality, the people it helped were the sellers not the buyers…though I say that knowing absolutely nothing about the program.

‘Birth tourism’ rising fast in Canada; up 13 per cent in one year

“It’s going up faster than immigration rates, faster than the overall population of Canada,”

squeak

“It’s going up faster than immigration rates, faster than the overall population of Canada,” There must be a reason for this, I am sure… gee wonder what it could be, let’s have a multi million dallar study on this, at tax payers expense of course. I think the word “birth tourism” is a euphemized term. Why would any normal woman choose to give birth far away from family support, home country, own culture ( oh wait.. Richmond .. extension of china w/o their human rights issues, etc. ) The only reason to go through child birthing in Canada as a foreigner is to secure a citizenship, then have the option of family reunification, meaning you now can move to Canada, just like that! Easy peasy, lemon squeezy: No actual qualifications needed, except getting pregnant (if that is a skill?) Tourism,… Read more »

Wondering hows sales/ inventory doing? Rising/ declining?

Archon

So how does one so easily overstate income? From my experience, lenders require two prior years of T4’s for income verification.

Archon

ie. folks are falsifying their T4s or tax assessments?

DaMann

I would suspect it comes from the expenses side. You have to declare your monthly outgoings. Could be a s simple as someone not putting on their application that they have to pay $1k a month on child support. Bank would never really know if you do or not. Simply not declaring that outgoing expense changes what you can qualify for. Fraud right there. I’m sure there are a million ways to do so
