BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Michigan, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Close relatives of the federal official who has
accused a Federal Reserve governor of improperly claiming primary residence on two properties have
declared the same status on two homes in two different states, public records show.

Mark and Julie Pulte, the father and stepmother of Bill Pulte, President Donald Trump’s appointee as
director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, since 2020 have claimed so-called “homestead
exemptions” for residences in wealthy neighborhoods in both Michigan and Florida, according to the
records. The exemption is meant to give a discount to homeowners on taxes for properties they use
as their primary residence.

Local tax officials in both states told Reuters that claiming more than one home as a primary residence
isn’t generally allowed in their jurisdictions and could be punishable by fines or back taxes. After Reuters
contacted tax officials in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, to inquire about the dual claims, Darrin Kraatz,
director of assessing, on Thursday said the township “as of today” would revoke the exemption on the
Pultes’ residence there.

I'm frankly surprised that Pulte Homes were in any "wealthy" areas of Florida or Michigan. When I lived in Florida, Pulte homes had the reputation of building some of the cheapest homes. Figures Pulte would be the Director of the Housing Finance Agency. Another grifter.

These people should not hold office either.

Hopefully they are removed from their jobs at the Federal Reserve as well, and seek other employment.
 
And there’s these people.


Trump Is Accusing Foes With Multiple Mortgages of Fraud. Records Show 3 of His Cabinet Members Have Them.​

**snip••

Underscoring how common the practice is, ProPublica found that at least three of Trump’s Cabinet members call multiple homes their primary residences on mortgages. We discovered the loans while examining financial disclosure forms, county real estate records and publicly available mortgage data provided by Hunterbrook Media.

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer entered into two primary-residence mortgages in quick succession, including for a second home near a country club in Arizona, where she’s known to vacation.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has primary-residence mortgages in New Jersey and Washington, D.C.

Lee Zeldin, the Environmental Protection Agency administrator, has one primary-residence mortgage in Long Island and another in Washington, D.C., according to loan records.

The White House has targeted opponents, including a Fed governor, for having more than one primary residence on their loan papers. ProPublica found that, in one case, a Trump cabinet secretary got two such mortgages in quick succession.

Report: Texas AG Ken Paxton claimed three homes as primary residence​



Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, are longtime owners of a $1.5 million house in a gated community in McKinney. In 2015, they snapped up a second home in Austin. Then another.

The problem: Mortgages signed by the Paxtons contained inaccurate statements declaring that each of those three houses was their primary residence, enabling the now-estranged couple to improperly lock in low interest rates, according to an Associated Press review of public records. The lower rates will save the Paxtons tens of thousands of dollars in payments over the life of the loan, legal experts say.

The records also revealed that the Paxtons collected an improper homestead tax break on two of those homes at the same time.

It is a federal and state crime to knowingly make false statements on mortgage documents. It's also against the law in Texas to collect a homestead tax break on two separate properties.

Mortgages have become political fodder​

The mortgage revelations are sure to become fodder in the Republican primary for a U.S. Senate seat in which Paxton is seeking to topple the incumbent, John Cornyn.

The situation is further complicated by the Trump administration's pursuit of Democrats over similar issues.
