Can't you keep paying your mortgage and wait for housing prices to rise again...?
Love is the answer
Zillow and Trulia can be waaay off. They use simple calculations based on what has sold around the property, not the property itself. They don't take a lot of things into consideration. I wouldn't put too much faith in them. Good sites for marketing though.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

A further point is that it is illogical for property values to come back any time soon, unless there is a matching rise in incomes. The median prices were so out of whack with median incomes that the obvious reality is that if homes regain their values within ten years it will be because of further manipulation, and another bubble will have been inflated.
Who wants that?
ken and kman are both right in that the banks have no choice but to work with me.
All I need is steady work, the status quo of two years ago. eg; today i did 3900 in work at a total cost of 1800 including overhead. I only need to do that twice a week to be in a excellent position.
This has been an attempt at redistribution of wealth on the sly. They took it too far, or it is as i said a long time ago; a geo-political strategy to make sure countries like china and india do not become as wealthy as the U.S. and U.k. are. What better way than to make them depend on us for their economic prosperity and then to yank them back into the dirt farm.
Don't tell me our government is made up of idiots too stupid and corrupt to not see what was coming, or not care. Tell me that, make me believe it and I will go on the war path. Nope. This is all by design. The how is the economy, the why is because the strongest control the weak.
So what if a few million Americans become " ill housed, ill clothed and ill fed " in the process.
You are a willing-to-work somebody...that means more in our environment than someone that faked their loan and tried to pay. As much as I dislike your stances on 90% of the things we 'discuss' here, you are in a position to take advantage of the dire situation. DO IT, don't talk about it. I know you'll tell me your hardships and how hard it is to secure work, but you have a family and I don't, so do what you need to do.

Also if using zillow, make sure it shows current sales around your area.. Alot of what zillow offers is just the tax assesment, which in your case is probably what it's using.. Which is good, also side note if your taxes went up in the past two years go down to the County Clerk and ask to get reassessed. It might actually save you up to 300 dollars a month.

Yes it's good while you are living there. Fl also got a "super" homestead exemption last year. The exemption went from 25k to 50k and offers portability now.

I don't believe they are stupid enough to have designed it this way. Not because they are above something like that, but because a content populace is in their best interest. People don't start asking questions or challenging authority until things go awry quickly.ATG wrote:
