Let's say I owned rental property. Actually not owned, but mortgaged to the hilt as an investment for retirement income.
All my tenants quit paying rent, I can't evict them and I can't make the mortgage payment. I have no choice but to sell.
What do you suppose this property is worth, with potential buyers knowing it will generate ZERO income?

Your only rational decision would be to turn the keys into the lender and walk away...

And you can’t pay your property taxes. And you can’t pay to maintain the building. What a mess.
