With the housing market headed for what some analysts are calling a double-dip downturn, there’s been a lot in the news lately about homeowners who strategically default on their mortgages. Here’s a look at what that means, how strategic default relates to foreclosure and what you need to know if you’ve got a mortgage you can’t afford.
What Is a Strategic Default?
The mortgage manipulation known as the strategic default works like this:
- A homeowner reassesses her debt situation: This can be spurred by a number of things, and in the current economic climate common triggers include having difficulty paying bills (though not necessarily making mortgage payments) and realizing that a home is now worth less than the amount of the mortgage loan.
- A homeowner decides not to make mortgage payments: After a month or two of missed mortgage payments, the mortgage loan will be in default (or, said another way, the borrower will have defaulted on the loan). The dec
The Washington Post in “DC lawyer charged in multimillion-dollar insider trading scheme” on April 6, 2011 discussed a diagram that was displayed on an alleged scheme to trade inside information during an FBI news conference in Newark, New Jersey. A New York trader, age 43, and a Washington DC lawyer, age 50, at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati were arrested for insider trading that went on for around 17 years. The attorney and the trader faced criminal prosecution by the New Jersey US Attorney and civil charges from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The attorney, a senior associate, made $290,000/year at his law firm, and previously worked at two other well known New York based law firms, as a summer associate in one firm, and then an associate in another, where he allegedly pilfered secrets from the firms’ clients. Some of the clients were not his own. The men often met in Atlantic City, NJ, where they concealed the cash they made from the trades since in a gambling there was little reason to give for having a lot of cash.

A bedsore, also called a pressure ulcer, is an area of skin damaged after a two to three hour loss of blood supply, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. The first sign is a reddened, painful area that later turns purple. Without treatment, the damaged skin breaks open and can become infected, eventually invading the deep tissue and muscle says San Deigo Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Lawyer Steven Peck.
Patients who are unable to change position by themselves due to paralysis, loss of sensation, confusion, surgery, illness or advanced age are at highest risk for developing pressure ulcers indicates elder abuse attorney Peck.
Pressure
A healthy person unconsciously shifts her position many times during the day and night. Immobile patients, however, are unable to change position independently and may develop pressure ulcers at any point where the skin is trapped between bone and a surface such as a bed or wheelchair for two to three hours, elder law lawyer Peck. The pressure obstructs the blood flow to the skin in that area, causing damage to the skin and underlying tissue.
California Foreclsoure Evictions and You
For those of you that are not sure what a California foreclosure is, it is when a homeowner is not able to make principle and interest payments on their monthly mortgage. As a result, the mortgage company will take the property and sell it, which will be stated in the mortgage contract when the homeowner first signs it. This type of foreclosure varies among lenders; it all depends on each individual situation.
As a homeowner, it is totally up to you if you would like to sell or keep your home during the California foreclosure process. If you prefer not to keep your home, it will actually be sold before it reaches the foreclosure process. The big advantage you will get from the home being sold before it reaches foreclosure is not receiving a foreclosure judgment on your credit rating. This works well for both parties because the lender is able to sell the home and the borrower can receive future financing without any negative ratings on their credit. This type of foreclosure is normally available to homeowners who have a great deal of equity available in their home.

Firefly’s Fails – Files for Bankruptcy
After a successful ten-year run, the Massachusetts chain of BBQ restaurants, Firefly’s Bodacious Bar-B-Que & Beyond, has filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.
