The already upside down realty market is once again being rocked by its newest problem. That would be hundreds of thousands of mortgage owners who are refusing to pay their home loan and defiantly doing so with no regards to the companies holding their note. What was once a financial taboo by not faithfully paying one's mortgage payment is now becoming chic by many standards. National and St Louis mortgage owners no longer wish to have the monetary burden of what they legally owe. In fact, they are diverting their cash flow from their housing expense to more frivolous expenditures such as credit card debt, entertainment and other debts less important and costly. Thus, the money used gets them out of these secondary debts allowing them to get by or enjoy life's comforts. It has now become a cat and mouse game with the attitude of 'force me out if you can.' Although there were bad decisions made by the banks and lenders to loan money to thousands who didn't deserve it nor ever qualified for it, these irresponsible borrowers use these costly mistakes to their advantage as an excuse to shamefully refuse to be liable for this debt. Now, this is not to say that there were not hundreds of thousands of homeowners who were lied to or taken advantage of during the St Louis finance and lending process not to mention those who lost their employment through no fault of their own. The sad part is the greed that was perpetrated not just from the lenders involved but the consumer who also took advantage of the simple lending criteria to the point of committing out right fraud on their lending applications. These ones knew all the long they couldn't afford the property they were trying to buy. Recent data shows that official foreclosure procedures have been initiated against almost 1.8 million households. And the ability to slow these serious lending problems seems next to impossible. There are also such legal hurdles such as foreclosure moratoriums that will need to be faced by both borrower and mortgage servicers. This doesn't even account for the immense amount of pressure being handed out on Capitol Hill to not only offer more loan modifications but in turn graduate these trial solutions into permanent new loans. It looks as if economists are saying it is clearly the senseless and perhaps ultimate refusal of lenders not wanting to deal with such large numbers of national and St Louis home loans being foreclosed upon. But it now makes sense as to the thinking of a borrower. Why pay their mortgage when the average consumer was late on their house payment for 438 days before being evicted according to LPS Applied Analytics. The St Louis Refinancing Group news team and various real estate experts report that the number of those who are overextended and plan on living 'rent free' as it were is growing at a phenomenal pace. The question now becomes, "how would you like to live rent free for 18 months?" We ask that because more than 650,000 consumers have not made any type of mortgage payment in over 547 days or more thus living 'rent free.' There may be change on the horizon. Rumor has it that both political and banking powers are pushing for legislation that would stop these homeowners who are deliberately refusing to pay their mortgage from utilizing government sponsored funds for future home loans. Let us see how this fares. DISCLAIMER: This article is provided as information only and is not to be taken as financial advice.
