The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigates mortgage fraud in two specific areas:
Fraud for Profit, commonly referred to as "Industry Insider Fraud": the motive is to revolve equity, falsely inflate the value of the property, or issue loans based on fictitious properties.
Fraud for Housing represents illegal actions perpetrated solely by the borrower. The simple motive behind this fraud is to acquire and maintain ownership of a house under false pretenses.

The FBI focuses its efforts on fraud perpetrated by industry insiders. Some of the current rising mortgage fraud trends include: equity skimming, property flipping, and mortgage related identity theft.

Since 1999, the FBI has been working to actively investigate mortgage fraud in various cities across the United States. The FBI works closely with individual lenders, as well as national associations such as the MBA, the Appraisal Institute, the National Association of Mortgage Brokers, and the National Notary Association, to define and combat the mortgage fraud problem. In addition, on a case-by-case basis, the FBI receives close cooperation from lenders.
