Sell and Rent Back Schemes

There is an increasing number of sell and rent back schemes on the internet. Companies that offer such schemes serve most markets, but their primary target market is those people who have defaulted on their mortgage repayments and face foreclosure. If the mortgage company is threatening to take your home because you have not kept up your mortgage payments, then a company that operates a sell and rent back scheme, may offer to buy your home before the foreclosure date. Normally you will receive more than enough money to pay off your mortgage and mortgage arrears, these companies will then rent you back the property that they have just bought.

When you use a sell and rent back scheme, you will not have to move if you don’t want to because the company can lease, or rent the property back to you. Some schemes have a process whereby once you have been leasing the property for five years, or whatever time span is stipulated, you could be offered the chance to buy your property back. While these schemes may seem the ideal solution to those people who are threatened with foreclosure, you have to be careful which company you approach, as some people have entered sell and lease back schemes and find themselves in a worse position than they were when threatened with foreclosure.
