    If you are looking for a way to get tenants to rent your property when it is going through an estate sale, a rent to buy back scheme could be just what you need. You have probably seen the advertisements for this type of scheme. The rent to buy back plan works by offering potential tenants the chance to rent a home while the seller goes out and buys their former property. In the event of a repossession of the property will then revert back to the lender who will offer the owner either a rent in lieu of a mortgage or a sale price. The tenant will have the opportunity to move out of the property and lease a new one.

    A repossession could come about for many reasons. Perhaps the homeowner was late on mortgage payments and was unable to make their payments. Perhaps marketing left the property and didn’t keep up with maintenance or repairs. Maybe the homeowner ran into financial troubles and couldn’t afford the home anymore and decided to sell. Whether there is a financial reason that a repossession could occur or not, it is still a loss for the lender when the property goes to auction and they have to sell it at a low enough price in order to recoup their losses.

    So, how does marketing ? During a repossession the lender can ask a court to issue a possession order that allows them to take the property. If you are a tenant in this type of situation, you will sign a lease agreement by giving the landlord permission to place a rent with the terms and conditions set forth in the lease. The landlord can sell the property at a public sheriff sale or private auction to recoup their losses. The lease will also state that should the house become uninhabitable during the period of the rent on the property the tenant has to pay the rent back to the landlord as soon as possible or the property will become the property of the bank.

    This type of arrangement may sound ideal for someone needing money but what if that person is renting the property? Will they be able to get back the rent in the event of the lender having to sell the house? Most likely not. They will not be able to legally rent back the house but they can rent back the rent paid to them under the lease agreement. This is what we call rent back.

    The lender however will not allow the property to go into this type of rent back arrangement. They want their money from the sale to go directly to the mortgage company. In many cases this will involve the lender negotiating with the tenants for lower monthly payments to make it more affordable. This means that in some cases they will be receiving less money than they would if the property was put into a rent back plan. Many people do not realize that they have choices in this regard. They usually only know one choice and that is to go through the foreclosure process.

    It is important to remember that when you rent back from a sell and rent back company your mortgage company may require you to have a plan in place to keep the property. You should ask for all of this information and see how it can benefit you and the company. Many of these companies will help you set up an account that will allow you to rent the back property without any fees until you can find a new job.

    As you can see there are some things to consider when looking into getting a sell and rent back plan started. The first thing is that you need to be very careful about how much money you are paying on your rent payments. You want to make sure that you are not paying more than is absolutely necessary. If you are paying more than is needed you can look into ways to have some of the money added to your rent payments each month so that you are not paying so much. There are a lot of different companies that provide these types of services.

    Remember that when you are looking into a sell and rent back arrangement you need to contact your mortgage company. If you are working with a sell and rent back company they will handle everything for you. They will be able to give you a copy of your credit report to go along with the documents that you need to go with it. When you are looking into a sell and rent back scheme, you should know what you are dealing with ahead of time so that you do not end up in a bad situation.
