And worst of all, you will lose the house that you live in, as you have not been able to make the mortgage payments for some time now. What do you do?



Would you not love it if you just ran into a lot of money? But what do you do if that is an impossibility? What do you do if you are on the verge of being thrown out on the streets? What if you have a family and children and just cannot bear the thought of not living in your house?

No that it easy or anything like, but let me hazard a solution. It may not work for everyone, but renting back could be an option. So, what is this "renting back" that I talk about?

Step one involves selling your home. Then taking the same home on rent from that company. What this does is: It makes the lenders happy as they get paid.

The purchasing company is delighted to be able to avoid even a single day of unrented property. And it makes you happy as you have a roof over your head. Better yet, you have the same roof over your head that you wanted.

Please accept my best wishes to be able to buy back the home someday. Since the house will be owned by a property management company and not by an individual who lives in it, a decent offer would quite likely swing the deal. In fact, you can try and incorporate an option to buy-back in your initial agreement itself.

I know that I am painting an optimistic picture here, but there is equity that is built into your house. There is the physical value of the house compounded by the mortgage installments that you have already made. No one seems to be giving you any credit for that. It has turned into a situation where everyone just wants to point out that you have not paid recent bills.

But as I said earlier, there is equity in your house. The question is how do you release that equity. Simple, sell it and rent it back. In the usual case, you will not have to move out of the house even for a day in the rent back arrangement.

In fact, you can look forward to getting a significant sum of money for selling the house. This amount will primarily depend on how much of the house you had already paid for. If this amount is significant enough, you can hope to stay clear of worries about making rent. I am sure that there are other needs for money. If things go right you might have some cash left for these other needs too.
