Are you claiming that the bank didn't have appraisals done of the properties in question?No you dumb dolt. Banks don't hire appraisers because people lie, they hire appraisers to cover their asses in case things go wrong. They hire LICENSED appraisers to compare the age, condition and marketability of the property, because bankers don't have those skills.
Last but not least, banks hire appraisers to determine the lending value of the property. So that when they submit their lending requests to their superiors for approval, their bosses know that they've done their due dilligence on the viability of the loan, and the available collateral.
Then they instruct their loans to conduct all manner of due dilligence and confirm that the owner of the property has good and valid title, sufficient to our purposes, and that our mortgage is a good and valid first charge on the property subject only to government laws and restrictions. If this is found to be untrue, we sue the lawyers.
There are a dozen reasons why banks hire outside appraisers, and NONE of them have anything to do with people lying to them about the value of their property.
Corporatioins CAN'T lie about their property values, because audited financial statements are required for all borrowings of a certain level. That's why Trump used his phony "Statements of Net Worth" instead of actual financial statements. And Deutches Banke accepted his statements, because they had other back up on his loans/
