Depending on why the home is in foreclosure, it may not be all bad. If you have equity in the home but some life event has stopped you from paying your mortgage, then you can sell the home and avoid foreclosure. Most Americans currently in foreclosure are in their situation because of home value loss and bad loans. The problem is that we are emotional, and think about our homes with our hearts. If we thought of them like a business asset, our perception of the situation would change drastically. No business would hold on to an asset that was worth 50% of the debt against it. How many times has Donald Trump filed bankruptcy? There is a system with protections, it's just that the average consumer never uses them out of a sense of moral obligation. The companies and individuals that got us into this mess didn't have the same hang ups and are spending their weekends on their yacht. Foreclosure is not the end of the world, and millions of Americans are in the same boat. It only stays on your credit 7 years (sounds like a long time but just wait) and you may have just gotten out of a huge debt you never should have been in.
