Sell And Rent Back Strategy: Does It Work
If you've fallen behind on your mortgage, you're probably frantically looking for solutions. You may have heard of one strategy that's unconventional in nature, but happens to have a nice potential payoff if successfully executed. The sell and rent back strategy (often deployed in Great Britian) allows you to sell your home, only to quickly turn around and rent it back.
This article will take a closer look at the strategy to determine its effectiveness.
The big advantage of a sell and rent back is that, given a willing buyer, you will not have to move – at least in the short term. As part of the sale agreement, the buyer gives you not only money, but also a rental agreement. This sell and rent transaction is actually two transactions rolled into one.
Another advantage is the fact that all past due monies owed to your bank will immediately become the responsibility of the buyer. If you're four months behind on your mortgage, you'll no longer owe that money to the bank, even after the sale of your home. The buyer and the bank will be responsible for working out a plan that satisfies these unmet obligations.
The disadvantages of a sell and rent back are probably minor compared to the risks run by bankruptcy, repossession, and of course, eviction. When you rent back property ideally you avoid all of those pratfalls.
However, you should realize that the sell and rent back scheme is going to necessarily mean that you will get less than market value for your home, as this quick sale instead provides you the benefits above.
You will still be responsible to meet your monthly rental payments, which could exceed the cost of your previous mortgage, depending upon how paid down your mortgage was. Additionally, your rental agreement will consist of a term that may require you to move out after it expires.
All in all, the benefits generally outweigh the cons considering the risks of not acting on a situation that's forcing you to miss your monthly home payments. This is a strategy that should definitely be considered if possible.

Pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca is expected to announce a $3bn (£2bn) extension to its share buy-back scheme on Thursday.
Graham Spooner, investment adviser at The Share Centre, picks UK satellite broadcaster BSkyB as his share of the week. Here's why: "BSkyB pleased the market at the end of July issuing strong figures ahead of expectations. The company's profits rose to over £1bn and revenue increase by £900m to £6.6bn. "Investors seeking growth will be pleased to see a sharp upturn in consumers using the company's services. Most interestingly, BSkyB has seen a demand for its broadband and telephony packages without any TV services with 100,000 people now choosing this option. "It has also been announced that BSkyB has been awarded the rights to broadcast live Formula 1 motor racing with the BBC between 2012 and 2018. Another large sporting event moving onto Sky's screens will please investors. "The share buy back scheme gives an added bonus and should help to stabilise and underpin the share price, something we would all appreciate in the current market. "We have recommended investors seeking growth…
