Using Strategic Default Along With Short Sales
After dealing with the Florida humidity, 5 nights of hotel accommodation, and three flights in the past week, the boys are recharged and prepared to crush it again. Today’s subject is an extension of yesterday, namely strategic defaulters. It is vital to note that the lender has the hardship in this situation. When someone is not paying their bills, the lender can either seize the house to foreclose or agree to a strategic default. The lender actually has no other choice.
Martin Andelman has the same opinion on this subject as Group 4610. Martin is a self described house owner backer. He hates lenders, probably more than anyone else in the nation. Martin has a blog that specifically addressed a new piece of writing from a Freddie Mac VP. The Freddie Mac VP asked home owners to please discontinue using the strategic default.
The truth of the matter is that residence owners are facing sincere positions concerning their future. Many home owners owe more than two times what their home is currently worth. Given the history of home appreciation, it will take roughly 25 years for a residence to come back to the value of the loan. This is why we call it a strategic default. The strategy is to lose less money as a residence owner.
The lenders are doing the same thing as residence owners. Morgan Stanley strategically defaulted on a loan valued at hundreds of millions of dollars. Also, the Mortgage Bankers Association walked away from some of their real estate also. So, that is where the actual problem is. Why is it Ok for big business to use a strategic default, but not for the little residence owner.
