Can i Walk away from my mortgage?

By: fabio zocante

This is an educational editorial about the existing financial emergency and whether it is wise to "walk away" from your mortgage.

The answer to this question relies upon to a great element on when you live in a state that has consumer protection statutes known as "anti - deficiency" statutes. These statutes are intended to defend the homeowner from being responsible for loans secured by their private residence what time the personal residence is "underwater." An "underwater" individual residence is one in which the principal balance on the loans that are against the property are in excess of the value of the estate.

In several states, several form of consumer protection has been enacted by the state legislature which prevents banks from suing householders for deficiencies. These laws usually apply to single family owner occupied residences. Check http://imoveisembaurusp.com

"No deficiency decision shall lie in any occurrence after a sale of real property or an estate for years therein for failure of the buyer to complete his or her contract of sale, or under a deed of trust or mortgage given to the vendor to safe transaction of the balance of the acquisition cost of that real property or estate for years therein, or under a deed of trust or mortgage on a dwelling for not more than four families given to a lender to secure repayment of a loan which was in fact used to pay all or part of the purchase cost of that dwelling occupied, fully or in part, by the purchaser."

You may also note that this section only applies to a "dwelling of not more than four families" which in essence means that if you reside in and own and duplex, triplex or fourplex, this anti - deficiency statute applies to you.

This type of statute has been adopted in many states across the country. You should check with an lawyer in your state to find out the exact language of the statute in your state and whether or not it applies to you.

Once you made this determination, that you are in an anti - deficiency state and that the anti - deficiency statutes apply to you, your next decision really is one of own choice. Do you like the house? Do you think the market will recover? Can you pay for your finance payments?

It is certainly good to know that you do have choices. However, be clear not everyone can just "walk away" from their finance. It is best that you seek legal advice from a competent real estate lawyer in your state before you make the decision to "walk away."
