Flipping as a criminal scheme is a flip-for-profit scheme and the way it works is like this. The property is bought, flipped and resold with an artifically inflated value.

Illegal property flipping often involves collusion between a real estate appraiser, a mortgage originator and a closing agent. The cooperation of a real estate appraiser is necessary since a false and artificially inflated appraisal report is required.

This type of scheme is bad for the lender as often times their loss is a large one.
