It depends on the state, the actions of the borrower, the “bias” of the particular court should the borrower file an “action” (bankruptcy, wrongful foreclosure, temporary restraining order, non enforceability of mortgage or deed of trust, etc.).

but having set criteria will keep the ship afloat regardless of temporary hiccups. my hypothesis: Real estate will continue to go up in value in short term as well as the long term. there may be waves but that's why you built the strong ship to withstand them till the oceans are smooth again.
