Following the Real Estate market collapse of 2007, homeowners in Portland Oregon found themselves in the same position as other homeowners nationwide, home values had dropped seemingly overnight and just about every owner was faced with owning a home that had a mortgage which was upside down or underwater.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sadly, many homeowners during this time chose options like bankruptcy, short sale or foreclosure to get out from under the heavy burden of their homes which were now worth less than their mortgages.<\/span><\/p>\n
