A borrower who knowingly makes false statements on a federally related mortgage loan to obtain property can face severe penalties under federal law. The penalties can include:

A fine of up to $1 million.

Imprisonment for up to 30 years.

These penalties fall under federal statutes such as 18 U.S.C. § 1014, which covers fraud and false statements related to loan applications. This is a serious offense, and the law is designed to deter fraud in federally related mortgage transactions.
