Typically, a short-sale happens when a mortgage is underwater. The homeowner has to sell the home for less than the mortgage amount. And the lender agrees to take that amount as full payment for the mortgage. However, in some cases homeowners might get tricky if they find a better price for their home than the agreed-to short-sale price and end up with a windfall from their sale. This is a form of fraud committed by the homeowner and is illegal.
Loan modification scams generally involve the paying of up-front fees to one of those services that says they can help you get a loan modification. This is now an illegal practice. These services are notorious for taking your money and then the homeowner never hears from them again. An affinity group is any member or community group you might be a part of, such as your church or a club or any other community that shares a similar interest.
