Strict credit conditions and requirements are making it hard for home buyers to qualify for loans, with 15% of real estate agents saying they’ve had customers that failed to close a pending sale due to the inability to qualify for financing. “It is not difficult to recognize the connection between tight credit approval guidelines, industry professionals looking to make a profit and mortgage application fraud, the most common type of reported mortgage fraud by far in 2013,” the report said.
