Default

Bond debt and mortgage debt are very different. When you sell your house, potential buyers won't care about your mortgage because it will be paid off at the closing. But, they will care about the bond. Unfortunately, many potential buyers would rather assume the bond debt than reimburse you for having paid it off.
