Any time a homeowner is faced with the possibility of foreclosure, they have several approaches and solutions to address the impending foreclosure. These options can include loan modification, consent foreclosure, bankruptcy, or other defensive strategies. It's important to recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for all homeowners. Nevertheless, for a select group of homeowners, strategic default might emerge as the most suitable choice.

A strategic default on a mortgage loan occurs when a homeowner deliberately chooses to stop making mortgage payments, even though they might have the financial means to continue paying, typically as a result of a calculated financial decision. This strategic default is often driven by the belief that the property's value has significantly decreased, and it might be more financially advantageous to let the property go into foreclosure rather than continuing to make payments on a loan that exceeds the property's current value. Strategic defaults are often seen as a business decision, not due to financial hardship. Each homeowner's situation is unique, so careful consideration, financial planning, and legal representation are crucial when making the decision to strategically default on a mortgage loan.
