Comment on A conundrum
ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 day agoObviously, defaulting on mortgages is a thing.
In USA. As I explained in Europe it’s not a thing. Own contribution is a thing in USA and Europe. Therefore, banks don’t require own contribution because of defaults. Q.E.D.

What do you call it in Europe when someone stops making repayments on a loan ?
Obviously, that’s a thing.

I meant that intentionally defaulting on a mortgage when the property loses value and not paying the debt is not a thing. That’s what we were talking about.

Who is more likely to default, a borrower with $100k equity, or a borrower with negative $100k equity?
