Just walking away

February 1st, 2008 by Kenric

Interesting concept that is starting to gain a foothold: Just walking away from your mortgage.

Personally, I see it as a strategic financial decision.  Just as with any investment, there comes a time when you re-evaluate it and you have to decide whether or not to cut your losses.  Many homeowners are doing that now and once it hits the mainstream I think we are going to see a huge flood of people doing it.

Here is an article from the LA Times about walking away from your mortgage.  Here is a blog about it and its moral value.  Finally, here’s a business based on it, Youwalkaway.com.
