The Art of Strategic Foreclosure

When a property owner is living in a home where the value of the property drops and the debt owed is much greater than the assessment on the property, that property is said to have negative equity or, in colloquial terms, be upside down or under water. One way out of this situation is for the owner to go into strategic default.
