- Bob buys house from regular person Alice for $800k.
- Later, Bob colludes with Carol and marks house up to $1.7M and sells it to Carol.
- Carol may not even pay Bob (in full) or just pretend to pay him.
- Carol takes out a mortgage on that new price, $1.7M.
- Carol uses that mortgage to buy more houses.
