Confirmed: Lisa Cook Didn't Just Claim a Second Home as Her Primary Home. She's Renting Out Her "Primary Homes" as Income-Generating Investment Propreties

As I mentioned before, primary homes are granted more favorable (lower) mortgage interest rates both for the public policy reason of promoting home ownership, and for the utilitarian reason that people default less on mortgages if it's their primary home. No one, the underlying theory goes, walks away from one's only home lightly.

Obviously, Lisa Cook lied to get these lower interest rates, defrauding lenders into giving her the lower mortgage interest rate reserved for primary homes.

But it's worse than that. This isn't just Lisa Cook buying two houses and living in both while maintaining, falsely, that both are her "primary home."

In fact, she doesn't even live in them. They're simply rental properties -- the sort of properties people will default on if they find that the income-generating value of the property falls below the costs of the mortgage and upkeep.

Yes, she would be guilty of mortgage fraud whether these are secondary residences for her or just rental properties owned for income, but the fact that they're rental properties reduces the numbers of defenses she can claim. She can't just say "Oh, sometimes I live in one and sometimes in the other, I guess I just couldn't make up my mind which was my primary home."

If you're renting the property out, obviously you're not confused about whether it's your primary residence. The fact that strangers are living there means that you're provably aware that not only isn't this your primary residence, it's not your residence of any kind, primary or secondary.

In addition: She claims a third home is a "secondary residence," which is also just a rental property.

And this, as you know, proves that Trump is a racist.

Fed Gov. Lisa Cook's Ann Arbor Pad Is a Rental, Too
The recently fired financial sophisticate has been playing by different rules than the rest of us
By Charlie LeDuff (@Charlieleduff)
Ann Arbor -- Lisa Cook's financial house is on fire. Naturally, there is a Michigan angle to the story. Because there's always a Michigan angle to the story.
Cook, a governor with the Federal Reserve Bank, has a bank loan on a "secondary" home in Massachusetts, which the Trump administration alleges she rents out full-time. A judge might call that mortgage fraud.
Cook also owns a condo in Atlanta, which she claims is her primary residence on banking and government documents. The Trump administration alleges there is evidence that she rents that one out too. And that also could be mortgage fraud.
But Cook also has a THIRD home in Ann Arbor, which she also lists as her primary residence on banking and government papers. Lisa must be living in Ann Arbor in the tidy brick house with a columned portico on Jackson Avenue, right?
I stopped by the house last week. The glass in the storm door was filthy with neglect. A metal lockbox--the kind used by realtors--hung on the door knob. From the porch, I could see a figure sitting at the dining room table. When I knocked, the door slightly cracked open, only to reveal a white man partially visible behind the filthy glass.
"I'm a reporter," I told the figure, who did not undo the chain. "I was wondering if Lisa Cook lives here. Or do you rent?"
"No, we're just renters here." He made it clear he didn't feel comfortable with a reporter on the deteriorating porch. "You'll have to talk to the owner."
"Ok," I said. "Is it you just living here?"
"Yeah," he said.
"Just renting?" I asked again.
"No comment."
"I'm sorry?"
It was difficult to hear. The traffic was crackling like an old transistor radio. There was a bus stop nearby.
"You'll have to talk to the owner of the house."
And with that, the interview was over. The chain rattled. The door closed, and someone pulled the curtains tight.
It's hard to believe Cook got confused over her mortgage paperwork. Cook is a financial sophisticate, a member of the board of governors of the world's most powerful central bank. A bank that sets interest rates that influence the cost of financing a home, mind you.
All three mortgages were taken out by Cook in 2021, all within a timebspan of two months, three weeks and four days. In her 2025 government ethics filings, Cook claimed two of the properties are her primary residences and the Massachusetts dwelling is an income property.
That's cheating. Trump fired her last week for "cause," and two criminal referrals against Cook have been referred to the DOJ. For her part, Cook is suing over her firing.
Trump is accused of attacking a prominent black woman who refuses to lower interest rates as Trump has demanded.
Perhaps.
As far as my motivations go, I simply try to hold the powerful to account. When it comes to questions of residency and real estate, you may have seen me on the porches of two Detroit mayors, a current mayoral candidate, a county executive, a county commissioner, a supreme court justice, a circuit court judge, a district court judge, a member of Congress, a fire commissioner, a prominent minister, and a major political party treasurer, just to name but a dozen. These people were black, white, male, and female. Doesn't matter to me.
There cannot be two sets of rules: one for the elites who scam their way into favorable financial terms and another for the rest of us who endure audits, foreclosures, and repossession.
Cook has three basic questions to answer:
1Was she renting the properties when she was supposed to be sleeping at them?
2Did she claim rental income on her tax forms?
3And where does she actually live?
Because it sure the hell ain't Ann Arbor.

6 "primary homes are granted more favorable (lower) mortgage interest rates"

Ace, there are usually other benefits to a "primary" residence than just lower interest rates:

1. The mortgage down payment is lower

2. Insurance rates are lower, on the theory that the home owner is going to take better care of his primary home than a secondary (let along a home filled with tenants who don't give a shit about the property)

3. Tax benefits, depending on jurisdiction and filing status, including capital gains upon sale.

There's a reason claiming "primary" residence on second homes is a common thing: it's a significant financial benefit, easily tens of thousands of dollars over the years.

The thing that kills me is that the financial press - CNBC and Bloomberg - goes to great lengths to complain about some 'lack of Fed independence' but never goes into what the allegations against Cook really are. They had no problem going after Trump for any of the allegations against him that turned out to be nothingburgers with cheese.

Posted by: Elric The Blade at September 02, 2025 03:58 PM (iFTx/)

It's something that Ace is bringing up but doesn't dig into quite enough. The reason why interest rates are lower for primary residences is because those homeowners will make extra financial sacrifices to ensure that the mortgage is paid on the homes they actually live in - sacrifices that don't necessarily get made for investment properties. As such, they should be (in theory) less risky. Less risk, lower interest rate.

83 True fact, if you have a dollar in 1790's, it would be worth slightly more than one dollar in 1913 if not spent nor invested (leaving aside the collector's value). But, if you had a dollar in 1913 and did not spend nor invest it, it would be worth about 3 cents. What happened in 1913? The Federal Reserve started operations.

The federal reserve was created to "stabilize" our currency. It has since devalued our dollar 99.9% since its creation.

Before the Fed, a dollar from the 1700's was worth about the same it was until the end of the 1800's. basically zero inflation.

91 There was no tax law broken in getting cheaper mortgages. As long as the rental income is declared that’s all the IRS cares about.

In fact, if she paid a higher mortgage that would be a bigger deduction against the income and the IRS would get less money. So the IRs is more than happy to go along with this type of mortgage fraud.

The issue just became public like 3 weeks ago. I don't think a sudden refinance would fix anything, but they would be massively expensive in a way that she probably couldn't support with her current cashflow.

I do suspect that a bunch of people are refinancing second and third homes right now.

It won't fix anything because the banks retain documentation about the original mortgages, but they'll do it anyway.

Maybe the DOJ should stakeout mortgage financing firms and take not of everyone who goes in and out.

Posted by: Leupold at September 02, 2025 04:09 PM (4pwAx)

There was inflation during the Civil war when the Treasury allowed banks to issue currency backed by federal bonds instead of gold or silver specie, and there was periodic inflation during the "free banking" period between 1865 and 1890's , though those inflation were based on easy credit periods and were resolved in the panics that followed when the banks that issued the currency in excess to reserves defaulted and went bankrupt.

There was inflation during the period, but it was washed out of the system by defaults. The creation of the Fed was an attempt to prevent defaults. This made inflation permanent
The second cause of inflation post WWI was the US expanding credit to try to forestall the default of the UK Pound due to their own war time inflation: The Treasury decided to inflate the US Dollar so the gold and investments would not flee the UK's weak currency to the US Dollar. In cheapening the dollar through inflation it cause both the 1920's boom and contributed to the Depression

167 So... if one has three "primary residences," does that have special meaning for voting?

Does or did Lisa Cook vote in all three states where she owns a "primary residence"? Do those states have mail-in ballots that issue automatically and are sent to the voter's registered address?

Mortgage fraud is one thing. Voter fraud is another.

Thomas Sowell straightened that out for me. I always wondered wth was going on with all these corrupt Black female officials -- mayors, AGs, I lost count of them. Many of them so bad they were prosecuted, which is something.

Sowell said that Black people should NOT aim directly for political power, but for economic power. I didn't understand it at the time, but now I see: Get rich and then let the politicians follow YOU.

Instead, undeserving DEIbies have parachuted into political power instead of working their way up to it. This is the result.

193 Also the fight over the gold v silver standards, William Jenning Bryant's speech, had to do with how to set up an inflationary system by revaluing silver against gold, Silver being the basic price component of coinage and dollars.
The US was weird because only it and China insisted on Silver valuation on money, the US has it set in the Constitution

Since it was an inflation based on specie valuation, there is a lot of argument still as to whether that was a significant inflation versus the current fiat inflation.

197 161. There was inflation during the period, but it was washed out of the system by defaults. The creation of the Fed was an attempt to prevent defaults. This made inflation permanent
The second cause of inflation post WWI was the US expanding credit to try to forestall the default of the UK Pound due to their own war time inflation: The Treasury decided to inflate the US Dollar so the gold and investments would not flee the UK's weak currency to the US Dollar. In cheapening the dollar through inflation it cause both the 1920's boom and contributed to the Depression

This information comes from the AfD in NRW, and ultimately from the bereaved families of each of these candidates. These are not mere cover stories, in other words."

Prices went up and down, but it was something like a war, etc that made this happen. Basic supply and demand. Commodity values and demand would change. Not monetary policy where some pseudo-bureaucrat was tinkering with things.

But if say there was a spike in demand from a country needing lead to make bullets, you would see prices go up and then settle back down.

It was better than what we have now.

259 Principal Residence Exemption (PRE)
This is the most common use of the term "homestead" in Michigan. It exempts your primary residence from a portion of local school operating taxes, which is usually an 18-mill reduction.

Georgia Revenue Service
Property Tax Homestead Exemptions
Generally, a homeowner is entitled to a homestead exemption on their home and land underneath provided the home was owned by the homeowner and was their legal residence as of January 1 of the taxable year. (O.C.G.A. § 48-5-40).

To be granted a homestead exemption:

A person must actually occupy the home, and the home is considered their legal residence for all purposes.
Persons that are away from their home because of health reasons will not be denied homestead exemption. A family member or friend can notify the tax receiver or tax commissioner and the homestead exemption will be granted. (O.C.G.A. § 48-5-40)

265 ok I'll post the same quote again from eugyppius:

"In all, twelve candidates have died in NRW. Six of these candidates are from the AfD. Three (Ralph Lange, Wolfgang Klinger and René Herford) had serious pre-existing conditions, a fourth (Wolfgang Seitz) also had health issues and died of a heart attack, a fifth (Stefan Berendes) is said only to have died of natural causes, and a sixth (Patrick Tietze) committed suicide. This information comes from the AfD in NRW, and ultimately from the bereaved families of each of these candidates. These are not mere cover stories, in other words."

possible that AfD being a newer party has more candidates running per office, maybe due to more enthusiasm or just being new and not as sclerotic.

He paid $25k to be smuggled across our southern border. Paid, $400 to an Indian politician, to claim the status of "asylum seeker" with the Biden Administration. Went through a bogus truck driving school in Washington State, not being able to read or write anything in English.

That company's license has been suspended along with another company offering illegals the same scheme of obtaining a CDL without any restrictions.

It gets complicated but the nexus aka laws where the property is located is probably dispositive because signing via something like Docusign is literally in cyberspace where-ever in the internet the servers are which is very hard to tell nowadays with cloud computing. At least two of the properties were financed by an odd little credit union composed of employees in DC of the IMF and World Bank.

Bond backed currency were called Greenbacks, and they traded at a discount to specie, especially in the West. The Federal government did not refute them, so they were traded at lower prices, which increased slowly, and traded at par by the 1880's

This is separate from the dislocations caused by war production soaking up available resources. Since the treasuries issued to bonds it was federal spending, and the money was essential fiat in that it was debt based (redeemable at face when the bonds were redeemed) it was a monetary policy change that created the price and inflation. The fact that coinage and specie backed bank notes also existed cushioned the problem as well, just no one liked greenbacks.

This is the way. Doesn't matter what letter is after their name (R, D, I). This is the difference between us here and the left. The left wants to use the law as a weapon against their opposition. We just want to get rid of the two (multi-) tiered justice system and apply the law blindly and equally to all.

342 Keynesian theory is pretty much a formalization of the practices of the Bank of England post WWI, and that had pretty much been subsumed by its interpretation by "Samuelson-ism" which was pretty much an update to formalize subsequent jiggering

it is hard to find hard, fundamental theories on economics. The Chicago school takes a stab at it, and the Austrian school prides themselves at being theoretical

Macro econ has no firm foundation like price is to Micro econ. They have tried to use GNP/GDP which is a poor substitute for actual market derived price, supply, and demand which makes microeconomics theory far more grounded. Bringing in the various mixed economies of the world with its trade regimes made matters worse.

361 There was no tax law broken in getting cheaper mortgages. As long as the rental income is declared that’s all the IRS cares about.

In fact, if she paid a higher mortgage that would be a bigger deduction against the income and the IRS would get less money. So the IRs is more than happy to go along with this type of mortgage fraud.
Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at September 02, 2025 04:10 PM (tNkpt)

Her mortgage payments are lower due to the crime of false declaration. That difference is imputed income, so she is in fact defrauding the IRS.

362 I don't know that freezing Maduro's assets and putting a price on his head can work.

His source of power is the military connections he inherited from Hugo Chavez. Those guys effectively own everything of value in VZ, by dint of their cozy relationship with the Socialist Party.

If they do a coup on Maduro, it could easily topple the Party altogether, along with their extremely lucrative gang operation they're running. I think they'll defend that idiot to the bitter end.

366 Prices went up and down, but it was something like a war, etc that made this happen. Basic supply and demand. Commodity values and demand would change. Not monetary policy where some pseudo-bureaucrat was tinkering with things.

But if say there was a spike in demand from a country needing lead to make bullets, you would see prices go up and then settle back down.

It was better than what we have now.

I'd disagree. Because we had inflation and deflation swings - the entire 19th century was full of it. Did it average out the same - perhaps, I trust Whig and Kindelot on that. But it left huge damage in its wake.

The problem is always the politics of decision making. Powell was slow to raise rates when Biden dumped a bunch more money into peoples already full pockets. He did a cut befoer the election to help Biden, and then refused to cut them for Trump, maintaining, falsely, that tariffs cause inflation, when everyone knows they are deflationary effects.

369 India government reports that the truck driver who killed three people. Has ties to a terrorist organization that is linked to hundreds of murders in India. He wasn't poor, his family is wealthy. His family owns multiple farms in his country.

He paid $25k to be smuggled across our southern border. Paid, $400 to an Indian politician, to claim the status of "asylum seeker" with the Biden Administration. Went through a bogus truck driving school in Washington State, not being able to read or write anything in English.

That company's license has been suspended along with another company offering illegals the same scheme of obtaining a CDL without any restrictions.

It ISN'T racist to require individuals who come here to be able to speak OUR national language. It's about safety. Right now our border is 98.7% closed. We have the lowest number of border crossings in the history of our country.

Thanks to President Donald J. Trump.
