If you're a homeowner with a home loan in the Atlanta metro area, there's a 35% chance you're home is worth less than you owe on the mortgage. We can thank Corelogic for this helpful data. On the upside, all of the folks lucky enough NOT to own a home still seem to want to live in one, pushing rents up. So you could conceivably rent out your house for more than your mortgage payment, taxes and insurance and use the extra money to pay exorbitant rent on a different house. Yay!
