Wow.... I count at least two puns in that headline:)

Seriously,  according to CNN, you really have to weigh all of your options before you turn in the keys and walk away from a loan commitment you have with a bank for a property you own.  It can be many years (more than you might think) before your credit score is restored and you have the opportunity to borrow money. So before you pull the plug, you should consult with someone who might offer some other suggestions and possible solutions.  Someone like your Realtor for starters.  In the past year I have worked with a number of homeowners thinking they had only two possible paths- short sale or foreclosure.  In every single case, I have sold their homes without having to resort to either of these options....and the sellers' credit was not impacted at all.

Here is the article from CNN
