When you invest in Florida real estate, you’re not just buying property, you’re investing for the future – a future that needs to be protected. Unfortunately, many Miami property owners don’t realize that real estate fraud is a growing threat that can put your investments at risk. From forged deeds to unauthorized title changes, the dangers affecting real estate are increasingly present and highly sophisticated. Fortunately, there are proactive steps you can take to secure your real estate assets.
Understanding Real Estate Fraud
Many people might think they’re most vulnerable to property fraud during a real estate transaction, but fraud can – and does – happen anytime – even years into ownership.
Real estate fraud often begins by criminals gaining unauthorized access to public property records. Then, they use this information to falsify ownership documents, take out loans using your property as collateral or even try to sell your property without your knowledge. These activities are not only damaging, but they’re also extremely difficult, time-consuming and costly to resolve once the fraud has occurred.
Why Investment Properties are Targets of Fraudulent Behavior
As compared to owner-occupied homes, investment properties are particularly vulnerable to fraudulent behavior because they may be vacant during periods of time or are managed remotely. Out of sight may not mean totally out of mind, but it can mean records aren’t always checked as often as they should. This can make it easier for unauthorized title changes to slip through the cracks. Fortunately, there are ways to prevent real estate title theft and deed fraud. It starts by enlisting a proactive monitoring service.
