YouWalkAway.com, also known as You Walk Away, was a company that helped homeowners facing foreclosure through strategic default. YouWalkAway was based in San Diego, California.[1][2][3]

Jonathan Maddux and Chad Ruyle formed YouWalkAway.com in 2007. The company's goal was to help homeowners navigate through a foreclosure while understanding their options and rights. For a fee, the company provided tools, resources, legal and tax help, and support.[4]

YouWalkAway.com developed a strategic default calculator to help homeowners calculate the savings they might have by getting out of an underwater mortgage.[5] In 2012, YouWalkAway.com launched AfterForeclosure.com to help people discover if they were eligible to buy again after a foreclosure or a short sale.[6]
