Walk Away From
Your Mortgage!
By Roger
Lowenstein.
Brent White, a
University of
Arizona law
professor, notes
that a family
who bought a
three-bedroom
home in Salinas,
Calif., at the
market top in
2006, with no
down payment
(then a
common-enough
occurrence),
could
theoretically
have to wait 60
years to recover
their equity. On
the other hand,
if they walked,
they could rent
a similar house
for a pittance
of their monthly
mortgage.
