When you sell house to rent back the property from an investor, you will need to face the reality that you must let go of the homeownership that might have been your dream but at this point in time is not an achievable goal. At the same time, you will have the benefit of living in a house that suits you and your family and you will continue to do so for at least long enough to get yourself in position to move at your speed, not the breakneck speed set forth by your mortgage company that is seeking to foreclosure on your property and might have you facing the sheriff any day who might come and seek to evict you and the family.
