Not a good catagory in which to lead.
Out yesterday (9/12/11) is a report in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal that Minnesota is one of the leading nations for mortgage fraud. In a report released by the Mortgage Daily website, Minnesota had over $184 million in reported mortgage fraud. Other states with high rates were California, Florida and Ohio based on civil and criminal cases.
I prefer to think that our state is better at policing ourselves so we catch more of these criminals rather than we have more mortgage fraud crimes in general.
