should everyone with negative equity just 'walk away'

Myth propagated by bitter ignorant renters, or statistical reality ignored by real estate professionals?

Here is an interesting web site that outlines relevant Washington state laws that protect debtors.



Unfortunately, it looks as if Washington state doesn't offer as much statute protection from creditors if you walk away from a house as other states. There is a $40,000 homestead exemption, and life-insurance is safe, but that's about it.

Nevertheless, people with homes that are worth less than the mortgage still might be able to walk away relatively unscathed if their particular lending agreements limit the lender's ability to pursue assets other than the house. It is certainly worth talking with a lawyer to see if one can avail themselves of the opportunity to just give the keys back to the bank (which is by far the preferred strategy if your home is "under-water").
