A family member of mine bought a place which has dropped nearly 70% now and I think for them, they should just walk away actually, but if they wanted to lower their interest rate from 6% to 4%, heck, give it to them…It’s wiser for them to actually walk away though. I don’t see how doing this “hurts” you when they can use that money to buy goods, travel, etc…to boost the economy.[/quote]
