Some reasons to break a mortgage contract are:
If the interest rate is above the legal rate for mortgages.
If the mortgage is given without an underlying debt (a promissory note), the mortgage contract is invalid. A mortgage is simply a pledge of the house as security for an underlying obligation. Without the note, there is no reason to pledge the house as security.
If the mortgage loan was obtained through a predatory lending practice made illegal by the Federal or state government.
These are some reason to breach a mortgage contract without being liable for damages. If you break a mortgagew contract, the lender can foreclose, take the property and get a judgment against you for any loss it suffers, plus attorneys fees and court costs.
In addition, even if the mortgage and mortgage note are breachable, you would be required to repay the money if you bought the house with it. The mortgage lender would lose the benefit of the bargain (the interest), but you would not be get out of repaying the loan as that would be unjust enrichment.
