I’ve looked in to things like HELOCs before, and from what I know when you’re looking for something like that or some sort of loan that needs some underlying collateral banks usually use appraisers to determine the value of something you’re taking a loan out against. Do people who commit fraud somehow just say “Yup, my properties are worth $X,XXX,XXX” and the banks just gave him loans based on their words? During any of these processes do appraisers get involved? How can you get loans by just saying “My property is worth this much” Do people alter the financial records of how much income properties are making so banks assume buildings are worth that much? Don’t things like the physical characteristics / condition of a building itself, and the location, and similar comps mostly dictate the price tag of real estate?

Is this a reference to the Trump suit? It was determined that he lied about how much his collateral was worth in order to get better rates on his loans and lower insurance premiums. eg he claimed his personal apartment was worth over $300m and much large than it actually is. But there are no apartments in NYC anywhere near that
