I purchased my home in 2007 in my name only. The home is in california so obviously now I owe way more than the home is worth. We don't have problems making payments and have never been late on a payment. This was supposed to be our starter home and we have been saving for a larger home as we have outgrown this one. Well now there are plenty of homes that I would love to buy but I am stuck with this one. My husband thinks we are wasting our money and would like to walk away, meaning short sale or somthing. And wait for a while and buy a new home. What would be the best decision. Keep this home, and try to buy a second in a year or two. Or leave this one and rent until we buy another home? Thanks in advance!

Hi mommyg!
Welcome to forums!
If you walkaway from the property or short sale it, it will have a negative affect on your credit score and you won't be able to buy a property for the next 2-3 years. It will be better if you could rent off the property and apply for a new mortgage to buy another property. It will be the lender's discretion whether or not he will help you to get another mortgage on a new property.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
