ParticipantI believe it is unethical to walk – not holding your end of a legal and binding contract. The fact that banks typically don’t do anything about it doesn’t make it okay, but from my perspective people walking will end up benefitting me more than bailouts.
Again though, I think the fact that this is such a prevalent issue is indicative of our country as whole unwilling to accept responsibility for their own choices. If you can afford your home, even if you’re upside down, why would you walk out? I think it proves you were a speculator, not just looking for a home.
But I am curious, if you could go back watuppp, would you still buy? Or would you wait.
There may be a good business opportunity in helping banks track down people who bail. Starting this fall on HGTV… The ARM Bounty Hunter.

If you could go back to before you made your purchase, would you still go through with it?I can see from your point of view why the decision to walk is basically a no brainer.
Then again, I think that’s becoming symptomatic of our society’s entitlement mindset, and growing inability to take responsibility for their actions both morally and legally.
As I said above, given the choice of bailout or homeowners walking the less of two evils is the latter. As a renter I want values to drop, but I’d rather see consumers and politicians make fiscally and morally responsible choices. Sadly these days that’s far too much to ask.
