Can a realtor purchase a persons and lease it back to them so that they can avoid foreclosure? |
A friend of mine told that this was true in Texas where we live. She said that the buy the house from the mortgage holder and lease it back to the home owner with the option to purchase it back typically within a year. She says this allows the home owner to reestablish their credit score. Is this true. Yes. But it's going to cost you. They are not going to do this for "free". realtors in general can be very scummy......be very careful Must be great to buy a house from a realtor/friend/family..... Those that haven't, good luck, you can't normally do that unless the person offers you a way out of the rate they set you into...... It sounds like a huge gimmick to get you to give them the house, but I don't know the deal you made. You might have signed a deal with the devil, so to speak.....lol......They knew you couldn't pay the price, so leaning on them is more than helpful for you, yes? And they are set back by how? They own your home when the deal is done, or something that advantages you? LOL Why would anyone do that for you? There are many companies that provide this service. A word of warning though, the original owner becomes a renter and can be evicted for falling behind in rent payments. The home will be owned by the new lease back company and they can do with it what they wish, including selling or raising the rent. Just make sure that you have a lawyer read the small print. depends on the state in mine yes. you can sell your home to anyone and they can rent it out instead of moving in, as long as there are no statues in the subdivision, but why would anyone want to take such a risk at little or no profit A Realtor would have to be NUTS to do that. If they can't make the mortgage payments...what makes the Realtor think they can make rental payments. No way, no how. PS: I had a friend that has a ton of money that did it for a guy she had known for 12 years to help him out...she ended up losing $22,000 on the deal. see profile...I never sell anything online. |
