You understand that Donald Trump did actual crimes where he listed one number on his value of property to banks and another on his value for taxes, right?

Family Loans can also count as primary residences. Apparently Cook bought the Atlanta condo to house a family member. The house in Ann Arbor was clearly to be used by her while teaching at UM.

What’s not clear to me is whether one or both loans represent refinancings. I’m guessing both are refinanced properties.

Pulte knows a thing or two about fraud having spent his career building shoddy homes and passing them off to unsuspecting buyers

This! He is using his power to threaten the Fed and its independence. Pulte needs to go back to building crappy houses.

Inconvenient facts are always labeled "lies from right wing media" by DCUM's finest. Never fails.

It asks whether the home is a primary residence, second home, or investment property, but it doesn’t have definition for any of those. It seems like a person that is splitting their time between two places more or less evenly could have two primary residences, or at least could honestly believe they do since the forms don’t provide any definition.


I think the implication is that if you take out loans in two different states in 2 weeks you probably knew one was not your primary residence. That said Pulte is abusing FHFA data to attack political enemies which is terrifying.

Are you claiming that applying for mortgages on two properties, more or less simultaneously—and claiming both as your primary residence—is not mortgage fraud?


MAGAs told me it’s not fraud unless you don’t pay back the loan and the bank loses money.


This.

Even IF it were fraud, Trump did much worse.

Mortgage fraud is such a bs charge. The mortgage fraud is the bank/mortgage itself
