WSJ-It’s OK to Walk Away From Your Home

[Nor-LA-SD-guy]

Not every situation is the same,

I would say that depending on the location and amount under water and the financial position of the owner, this could possibly be the worst advice I have ever heard (but to each their own).

For other locations (say Palmdale or maybe Phoenix AZ, possibly Denver Co) anywhere there is almost unlimited flat build-able land it may even make a little sense.

For instance I know of a Guy in L.A. who is a 100K under water on his home (he still can easily afford it currently), he ask if it would be a good Idea to walk away.

I said are you planning to live the north L.A. area for the next 10 years ???

He said yes.

I said why ruin your credit (possibly your employability) when in ten years it will all be water under the bridge most likely.

But what ever you want to believe.

Didn’t you already say this in the “100,000 living for free” thread?
