The FBI just arrested 11 people in Los Angeles for allegedly stealing $17.4 million — not by breaking into homes, but by stealing identities and using elderly homeowners' free-and-clear properties as loan collateral without their knowledge. In this episode, Bonnie breaks down exactly how the fraud worked, why owning your home outright can paradoxically make you a target, and what every property owner needs to do right now before someone turns your equity into their payday.
In this episode you'll learn:
- Why free-and-clear homeowners are the most vulnerable targets for title fraud
- How hard money lending was exploited — and what lenders and borrowers should know
- What steps to take today to protect your property from being used without your knowledge
