News, Advice & Commentary on Marylands Foreclosure Crisis

Browsing Posts tagged walk away

A growing concern among lenders and our government is the increase in homeowners who are “walking away” from their homes.  Many homeowners facing foreclosure are choosing to “walk away” and let the home go into foreclosure.  While, in certain situations this may make sense, remember if a home goes into foreclosure, the homeowner loses their ability to negotiate the debt owed.  If a homeowner, attempts a Short Sale, they are in control and have the opportunity to negotiate this debt ahead of time.  I can tell you it is a very good feeling knowing that the debt is gone and the monkey is off your back.  Here is a link that was featured in Realtor magazine about “walking away” from your mortgage.

An article was published in the Wall Street Journal today on a dilemma facing many homeowners.  Should I stay or should I walk away?  I get this question a lot from homeowners in Maryland considering a short sale and my answer varies depending on their overall financial picture.

My background as a financial advisor really enables me to consult homeowners not only on real estate but on their overall financial health.  Unfortunately, many homeowners compartmentalize their finances instead of looking at the financial picture as a whole.  BIG MISTAKE!!

If you are considering whether to short sale your  maryland home or stay, or possibly try and modify your existing mortgage you need to look at your financial health as a whole.
