Money Monday

Well today is Monday and I'm talking about money.  I received my tax assessment in the mail a couple of weeks ago and was utterly pissed.  The value of my home has gone down again. I hoping/praying/wishing that it would at least hold steady but the joke was on me. So after careful consideration I've decided to do a "strategic foreclosure" on the property.  In the beginning I was SCARED about messing up my credit but in the end I am tired of throwing money away. 

Since I am/was a real estate agent I have thought about this and I know the market is not going to change anytime soon. When I purchased the house my intentions were never to live here this long (7 years). However due to the economy I was forced to stay here.  While in school I will be living on campus so I will have a place to stay the next two years.  When I finish school I will be a renter or live in my other property (my childhood home). I really think my Atlanta days will be over when I finish anyway so I keep asking myself  'why keep this house.'

If I was married or had kids I would keep the home but I have neither.  I have decided to never buy another piece of property until I get married. This shit is not for single women.....I am completely over owning a home.

I think I am going to use You Walk Away to assist me through this process.

I will be sure to keep you all updated on the process.
