short sale....
agreeing to sell the house for less than is owed.

caveat is that the bank/servicing company really has more incentive to hide the defaulted loan rather than participate is a sale showing the true 'mark to market' value. who knows. maybe even get a bailout if they whine long enough to Timmy

One girl I know has been living in her condo since last sept(when she began stiffing the bank) and also has a roomie. She is now saving the $2,800/mo she was paying the bank. Once she gets booted(so far the lender is quite happy with her short sale efforts) she will have saved up enough cash to buy a new place at less than half what she paid for her condo 3 years ago.
