If, after this, homeowners choose to purposely default because beneficial loan modifications are only available to "distressed" mortgages, I wouldn't blame them. When the banks will do it, so will the individual. This is pretty much it - the world is going to start from zero again, even if we don't have a loan or a mortgage, because we will soon not have an economy to talk about either.
