Should You Stop Paying Your Mortgage?

2013

Dear Real Estate Owner,

I'm Paul Stevenson, and I was in your shoes.  My property was worth A LOT less than what I owed on the mortgage, and the real estate market was crashing.  I didn't know how much longer I could keep making the payments.  Or whether I even should.  I wanted to stop throwing money into a black hole, just because the bank said I had to.  And even more than that...I wanted my life back.  Sound familiar?

I knew I had a major problem on my hands, and I could see it was only going to get worse.  I didn't know what to do or who to turn to.  I'd heard about people who decided to stop paying their mortgages, but I didn't know what was really involved.  I spent months searching for information on the Internet, but it was all in bits and pieces, and there was no source to tell me the things I REALLY wanted to know.  So I got to work, scouring every resource I could - books, legal documents, internet sites, discussions with experts... It was an arduous process with a lot of uncertainty, but eventually I worked my way through it and found a solution that was right for me. It doesn't have to be that difficult for you.

When I got to the end of the process and disposed of my property with my assets and sanity intact, I felt like a two-ton weight had been lifted from my shoulders.  I had my life back!   It felt so good, I wanted to help everyone in my situation find a way out.  So I created the Strategic Mortgage Default System to lay out what you need to know in plain language and answer all the questions you are asking – as well as some you probably don’t even realize you need to be asking.

Sincerely,

Paul Stevenson

The Current Real Estate Market The real estate market may have put you in the most difficult situation you’ve ever faced, with questions like these swirling around in your head:

Will I lose my property and end up on the street?

What if it's a rental property?

What's my liability?

Will the bank sue me?

Will I have the debt to the bank hanging over me for the rest of my life?

Do I need a lawyer?

What is "strategic default?"

What is a recourse state vs. a non-recourse state?

Do I live in a recourse state or a non-recourse state?

Can I do a short sale?

Will the bank foreclose on me?

Is it true I can just mail the keys back to the bank and walk away?

What is a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure?

Will I end up with a huge tax bill?

How will this affect my credit score?

Will I ever be able to buy another house?

Don't I have a moral obligation to keep paying, especially if I'm not broke...yet?

There is no single answer to this question, but it's safe to say that in most cases, the answer is "No, you don't have a moral obligation, and it's okay to walk away." You entered into an arms-length transaction with your lender in which both of you had competing interests and thus spelled out your obligations in a clear, signed contract. Unless the contract states that you have a "moral obligation to pay," then it's plain and simple - you don't.

When you borrowed the money to buy the property, you entered into a business transaction. The lender evaluated the risks and concluded that it was a risk worth taking. For its protection, the lender also required you to pledge the house as collateral, as well as any equity you had in the house. The contract spelled out that if you don't pay, the lender has the right to take the property and sell it before you get any of your equity back - if there were any equity left, which of course there isn't if you're underwater. The lender would not have loaned you the money if it had not concluded that doing so was a smart business decision. Your decision to enter into the transaction was also a business decision.

You decided to borrow the money and put at risk the property, your equity, and your credit rating. It's obvious now, in retrospect, that both you and the lender made a bad decision. At this point the contract spells out what happens if you stop paying: the lender gets the property. If the lender intended for you to have a "moral obligation to pay," it would have specified that in the contract.

The lack of a moral obligation to pay your mortgage does not necessarily mean that it's smart to walk away. That depends on a number of factors, including the state in which you live as well as many other aspects of your personal and financial situation. The Strategic Mortgage Default System was specifically developed to help you make this difficult decision.

If you've read this far, it's safe to say that your mortgage is probably underwater.  Don't let news reports talking about the "economic recovery" fool you - the real estate market isn't coming back anytime soon.  It will most likely be years before it even starts to recover.  You may be at the point where you simply can't pay your mortgage any longer due to job loss, depleted savings, etc.  Or you may still be able to pay your mortgage but realize that it no longer makes financial sense to keep throwing your money away; every dollar you put toward this losing proposition is money that you need to secure your family's future.

But let's be honest: there's more to it than just money.  You want your life back.  You want to stop spending your days thinking about your mortgage and living with the constant stress of worrying what's going to happen to you.  You may have gotten used to having this unending pressure in your life, but you probably should stop and take a moment to think about what it's costing you.  For many people, it's literally the difference between happiness and depression; a smile and a frown; health and disease; hope and despair.

Hasn't this issue ruled your life long enough?  Isn't it about time you take action to protect yourself?  Then you need the Strategic Mortgage Default System.
