I liked this bit<\/a>, from last January:<\/p>\n

Roger Lowenstein has published an excellent piece in today\u2019s New York Times regarding strategic defaults<\/a> \u2013 other wise known as walking away from your property.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Mortgage Bankers of America of course don\u2019t want you to do that\u2026.neither does Wall Street or the Obama Administration.\u00a0 But when Wall Street or businesses make a bad deal, they walk or flush the company.\u00a0 It\u2019s no big deal.\u00a0 It happens all the time.<\/p>\n

I am seeing more and more information about strategic default.\u00a0 This could become a REAL problem if this starts to gain more traction.\u00a0 Although that said, in conversations I\u2019ve had with others recently, the government is doing so much to try to manipulate the market from loan modifications to holding interest rates artificially low \u2013 that no one really knows what the market should actually look like.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
