Dealing With Your Home Loans - To Do or Not to Do?BY: Jessica Parker | Category: Finance | Submitted: 2010-04-13 10:56:11
The entire economic recession was set off by the falling of home prices last year. This prompted the media to continuously write about home loans approved by the bank for people who actually did not have the means to repay the loan. Some people lose everything after working hard to meet their monthly payment due to the necessity to default their home loans as they lose their income or suffer from other consequences of the financial situations. The bottom line is, the media is trying to highlight how losing your home due to defaulting your payment is simply the worst thing to happen to anyone. But as it turns out the people are leaning toward the extreme opposite of what the media thinks. They are planning to actually stop the payment and letting the houses slip away. They are perfectly able to continue meeting the home loans payment but simply choose not to do so. The number has actually reached the staggering one million, this year alone. One million home loans defaulted out of choice and not because anyone has to. Observers and experts are sharing in their blogs how this is endangering the American ways. Why do people feel perfectly fine shopping and having a vacation on the money they are supposed to use to pay their home loans? Well, as far as being irresponsible goes, people are simply following the examples of too big to fail financial companies which do exactly the same thing. A couple of months ago, financial big wig Morgan Stanley announced that it was in possession of what is deemed healthy capital to the tune of $200 billion. In fact, as the managers later discovered, they were paying a lot of money to meet loans over numerous expensive office buildings. Office buildings which were overpriced and well above the actual current worth when bought at the peak of the market a couple of years ago in California. What Morgan Stanley does, however, is just the same as home owners with their home loans, which is defaulting on their payments and let the property go, instead of continuing to pay for assets deemed to be overpriced. This practice is not limited to real estate loans or home loans, either. For big companies like Morgan Stanley, default can be done easily, even casually on sold bonds as well. So they once sold a bond with a high interest rate. That was the going rate at the time, after all. If the rates later fall, it is not their fault, not their burden. If people go home broken and disappointed, the companies shrug and say, there is nothing much we can do. Defaulting on home loans over a home that is overpriced is hardly surprising these days. When the economy is at such a cutthroat climate as it is now, this is what needs to be done. It is people who grew up in the responsible and sensible 50s and 60s who are keeping the numbers of home loans default low. They simply can not believe that this is the right thing to do - to simply walk away from paying one's home loans. The American way, however, has undergone a tremendous change. It is no longer what is good for the society; it is what is good for profit. This is what is touted as the American way these days, one which has forced Joes and Janes of the country to the brink of bankruptcy. If defaulting on home loans is how they can fight back, so be it.
