Scammers prey on Florida homeowners—with high fixed-income populations or retirees—by encouraging repeated refinancing, layering hidden fees and increased loan costs.
What to watch for:
-
Be cautious of lenders who push continual refinancing without clear benefits.
-
Seek advice from trusted mortgage professionals or your REALTOR®.
-
Safeguard elderly family members by requiring a trusted advisor or family member present when refinancing.
