Money created through illegal activity is showing up in real estate and the federal government is trying to crack down. In today’s podcast we discuss the changes that are coming concerning anti-money laundering. FinCEN is a bureau within the US Department of the Treasury that collects and analyses information about financial transactions. They are implementing new regulations within real estate cash transactions. Right now, this only affects all cash buyers because within loan transactions the mortgage lender sources the money. How title is taken can trigger additional scrutiny. Are private loans, hard money loans, considered a cash purchase? Listen to find out! Will this additional scrutiny effect escrow timelines? Tune in to find out more about what homebuyers can expect with these new regulations.
