You may be wondering what is Sell and rent back scheme. It means a homeowner sells his house to an investor and then they will rent it back to you so that you can stay in the same house. There is lot of advantage if you follow this scheme. If you want equity that's trapped in your house so that you can get rid of some major debt, then this is a good way to do it. If you want a divorce, house has to be sold so that couple can split up the money tied up. Also, chances are you can stay in the same house as a tenant by paying rent. If you wish to relocate but your family members or children want to stay in the same house, this could be the best option.
