A strategic mortgage default is a process that begins with a decision by a property owner that it would be in their best interest to stop making payments on a loan and to "walk away" from the mortgage. The most common reason for a strategic default is that the value of the property has dropped below the amount owed on the mortgage. This is referred to as "negative equity" or
being "underwater." Faced with negative equity, many homeowners rationally conclude that they will be better off financially in the long run if they choose to walk away from their mortgage.
The decision to strategically default is often also influenced by other financial considerations including loss of a job, reduction in income or the need to move to a different city or state. Owners of rental properties often consider a strategic default when it becomes difficult to rent the property or the rental income is no longer sufficient to generate a positive monthly cash flow. Mortgage payments may also be draining other financial resources. Unemployed homeowners tap into their retirement plans to make mortgage payments. Savings accounts are wiped out as homeowners try to keep their heads above water.

If done correctly, with full knowledge of the potential risks and benefits, a strategic mortgage default is the right choice for many property owners. The Forrest Law Firm has developed a strategic default plan for property owners who want to walk away from their mortgage. Call us today to discuss how The Forrest Law Firm can help you.

  • or Create a video response No need to walk away anymore. If you were to fall behind, the banks will start the foreclosure proceedings. But in most cases the banks that start this procedure do not have the legal right to do so. Most of these loans were sold and resold, and they can not locate the original promisary note. Just get an attorney to sue the bank, and ask for all 125 documents. Most cases they can not locate these, forcing them to work with you.
