Should I stay or should I go?

DJNinSD, check out the thread titled “Youwalkaway.com…” I’m not advising that you use their service, but there are some interesting posts, as well as a link to an article in “Voice of San Diego” about this company.

DJNinSD: Like I and others have said, I strongly recommend you speak with an attorney that specializes in real estate. I have heard of attorney’s advocating very strongly for their clients to get a short sale approved.An attorney can also look through your documents to make sure that your loan in nonrecourse.

There was a time when it made sense to buy a home rather then rent, and there are certain generations that looked down on renting, so I can easily understand why you made the choice to buy, even when prices seemed crazy. It also sounds like you have made some sacrifices being a single mom. Now that your daughter is in college, it seems that best thing you can do for her is to get your own financial house in order. You are at a time in your life that having a home paid for by retirement probably won’t happen, so you need to make the best of the 15 or so years left of working to save for your retirement. Over paying for housing doesn’t usually allow for aggressive retirement savings. I don’t feel comfortable saying you should walk, but like I said in an earlier post, take a good look at all the aspects of walking, speak to an attorney, than make the best decision for your yourself and your future. And if you do decide to walk, hold your head up high and know that you made the decision that was right for you.

Amen patientlywaiting. She rolled the dice and came up empty, along with a few million other people.

DJNinSD,, no one else has stood in your shoes. It's one thing to tell someone to do this or that. It's another to stand in their shoes and agonize over it every waking minute. You're a single mom trying to do the right thing for your daughter and doing it w/out any support from the ex and we're supposed to feel sorry for the institutions who knowingly looked away and inflated millions of liar-loans to stuff their personal bank accounts? These irresponsible greedy sob's? You think they are owed something? Talk about double standards. Paranoid gave you the best advice from the get-go and it's something you probably already know in your heart you have to do. Walk. Actually run, don't walk. Before you walk or run take SDrealtor’s advice and talk to the lender, an attorney and a CPA. They’ll most likely tell you to walk unless the lender can work out a lower-rate deal that SAVES you money. They don’t want another empty house on the market. Learn what you need to from this and get going on a sound business plan that will allow you to retire w/out having to work until your 70. All the best to you.
