I could be wrong and its fun to talk about it.. but on the flip side even if you had a default today it takes  a good year or more for a bank to process it. so you would not see those coming to inventory until next year.. etc etc.now if renters start defaulting en mass that could  be an issue for landlords.. but I don't see gainfully employed homeowners losing their props.. keep in mind there is always about 3% or so of our mortgages in default even in the best of times.
