eli5 What does it mean to be “upside down” on your home loan and how does it happen?
In: 349
To be upside down on a loan means you owe more than it’s market value, aka negative equity. It can happen because either you got a bad deal and paid too much originally, or perhaps you bought the home when the market was really high and over time the market went down but you’re already locked in at the price you paid
