The FBI also lists Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia as other areas significantly affected by mortgage fraud. The report identifies the most common scam as “illegal property flipping.” The FBI recently came out with its 2006 Mortgage Fraud Report , which somewhat anticlimactically concludes that there is “a strong correlation between mortgage fraud and loans which result in default or foreclosure.”

Other developers are resorting to auctions to sell huge inventories of new homes, townhouses and condominiums.
