You have to sign again at closing - and it's highly unlikely that she settled on the first one before the second one had an application.

Even if that somehow worked out... every mortgage I've seen says that you have to move in within 60 days of closing and live there for at least a year in order to qualify. There's a sworn affidavit of occupancy signed at closing - it isn't just a checked box. 18 USC section 1014 makes it a felony.

Now - none of that has been proven to have happened in her case. But there doesn't appear to be a "I thought so at the time then changed my mind" loophole.
