Two older friends of mine purchased a house 1 year ago costing way more then they could afford. The house also needed alot of work. Now 1 year later they have agreed they can not afford the home. They relisted it with a realator and the two offers they've received won't cover what is still owed. Now their saying they aren't going to make any more payments on the house the bank can take it.

It is not good idea. They can ask for housing assistance if this house is only place they can stay. Second option is to take intrest only morgage payments and try to sell it asap. This way they are not going to loose money, and they will gain some.

Thank you for your comment. I've pretty much said the same thing. I'm afraid it's going to kill their credit rating and cause them more trouble down the road.
