“It is IMPOSSIBLE TO LOSE A HOUSE if you paid 0% down (or 5% down for that matter).

It was never the borrower's house to begin with. He was just renting...

these articles are just loosely saying "losing your house". how can you lose if you bought it with 0 down ? there is almost no equity to begin with and in the begining years, there is very little principal paydown.”

“I think you don't understand how home ownership works in America. When you buy a house on mortgage, you own the property 100%, and at the same time you 'own' a loan which you are obligated to repay. The property and the loan are connected but separate. For instance, the property and the loan may or may not have the same value (depending on several things, including the down payment).

In any case, when the user fails to pay the loan, the loan and the property don't neatly cancel out. It doesn't matter what the amount that was paid as down payment, default and foreclosure is a less-than-ideal situation for everybody.”

“You are neglecting the financial effects of default, foreclosure or bankruptcy on the buyer. The fall out on the finances is the issue, not losing the home.”

“So, 10-20% down means losing your house? Your logic is thin, at best.”

“Let me rephrase.

Tiger wood's endorsements and the status as the worlds highest paid athlete makes him tiger woods.

other wise he is just another good athlete. Mind you i didnt say mediocre athlete. he is a great athlete but still not enough to make him Tiger Woods the brand..

the money makes him what he is. hope that makes it clear.”

“Elin would be stupid to leave his ass right now.

Move to Sweden, dont divorce him, date a few guys and force TW to divorce you and then cash out. :)

Tiger woods is no good without his money. why leave him now?

You have earned your payout and you would be stupid to leave now.

and for people who are blaming Elin for being a nanny, do some fact checking.
she was working as a nanny for a golfer family,
not your average Maria or Consuela nannies working minimum wage...

geez.”

“To quote you:

Tiger Woods is no good without his money ...Please...He will still make lots of money on the tour and will get most of his sponsors back.

You have earned your payout. What did she do except pop out a few kids, and live a very nice lifestyle, so that entitles her to a "payday".

Not your average "Maria" or "Consuela". Now that's not too racist is it ? I guess if she was your run of the mill spanish Latina nanny, she would be entitled to nothing.”
