  Leolaia-We dont have Breaking Bad in Sweden. Iam sure it will come. Maybe a positive about American TV shows from an English or Swedish point of view is we only get the prooved successsful shows.

  Should I walk away from my "underwater" home?

  by The Berean in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  millions are now facing the dilemma of making house payments on a property that is not worth what is being paid.

  .

  after originally promising to repay the bank, is there a "moral" obligation to continue in a dwelling, even at a loss ... or is it best to exercise the "legal" right of foreclosure and pay the consequences ?.

  Hi Robcar If your comment about not being able to get an appointment with a bank is true, I think that is smameful-

  In England and Sweden their would be no problem to see the bankmanager who would lot at your complete financial situation and try to come to a positive situation.

  The Berean Iam not qualified to advise on the American system. Only to say consider the consequences of walking away carefully. Ie who benifits you or the bank if you walk away? I think the bank benifits. Secondly take the long term view how much do you think the home will be worth in 10 years.

  All The Best

  To those working against the W.T from the inside,

  to those working against the w.t from the inside.. are you not still forced from without to conform, and from within to rebel, therefore any compromise is related within the confines of conformity.

  therefore is not your protest set by the society and its social order you have allowed be erected before you?.

  Hi Jeff.( Forgive me if my simplification missed an importantant point you made .)

  You said" Can you afford the payment." If the answer is NO you need legal councel- (What can legal councel do?)

  My answer is why. How do you benifit from it?)

  My advice.

  A. See the bank have the terms of the contract changed.

  B. Find a tennent to help with the repayment.

  Jeff maybe the system in England to America is different with property. Interestingly I believe 80% of wealth in America is inherited through property. If my statistic is true good advice must be "hang on in their"

  Hi Rodar

  You are absolutly correct Iam not qualified to give any advice on the U.S system. The term paralegal was foriegn to me.

  However to succeed in any activity is to escape the bad effect of unhealthy thinking. A healthy positive attitude to life( ie this is my home and iam going to keep it.) This attitude is better than giving up on the dream-When you buy a home it is a dream. If the dream goes wrong it becomes negative thinking a prison with golden bars- Give up on the dream pay somebody elses mortgage forever and ever.

  Rodar Iam not a financial advisor.(Unless free advice is worth anything) I havnt worked for 15 years- I retired at 35 because I invested in property. However when I first bought property suddenly its worth was 20% less than I purchased. I fought it out and I won.Because every 10 years property prises double.

  Simply speaking a house with 30% negative equity (U.S.A or England) today will have a positive equity of 30% 5 years from now.ITS THAT SIMPLE.

  Rodar you cannot truthfully say that "nobody on this forum is qualified to advise "Beraren"

  Bearen consulting an attorney is good advice.? The same legal advice would usually have said go to the banks(If you need a mortgage) in the first place.( Which was the correct advice. )But would they have educated you on which policy?

  Rodar I can truthfully say Iam qualified to advise. The advice I have given in my posts is better than that any legal representative can give.

  Rodar why do you ask Bearen to seek legal representation? Bearen needs financial management advice.
