My suggestion: If you want to reduce the burden of the cost of the home in PITI you can't afford the market rent plus the profit an investor will desire.  If you can save up 25% from sale of house and file a tax return with Net not gross income that qualifies this will get you back into the real estate market.

Why would you want to sell your house and buy another one?
As for leasing back, guaranteed income for a good amount of time w/ annual increases may be attractive to an investor if the deal makes sense. But perhaps, and I'm shooting in the dark because I don't know your situation, you moving into an inexpensive rental and then renting your home for the best possible amount which hopefully exceeds your mortgage obligation allowing you to put money away every month might also work. If you can reveal more about your situation that could be helpful. But go back to the initial question: why do you need to trade up, if that's what you intend?

I would keep your place and try to save up for a new place. Chances are you are going to pay more to lease it back than what your mortgage presently is. They are going to want to make money on their investment. Good luck.

Not easy finding an investor that wants to do a lease back. If you do, it's doubtful they will pay full market value for your house. You might have to line up a rental somewhere else until you're able to buy again. Other solutions might be to stay put and get a part time job for a couple years.

The first thing you know, is an investor does not want to buy a home and let the seller lease it back, maybe at half price. Investors want to buy, fix and sell.  As an agent you should know if you can buy a home before selling the one you have. My listings sell as fast as i can list them, if it is not selling it can be over priced, or no one knows it is for sale. Maybe you should rent and not buy another?

As a newer agent, you have not got the resources to buy a home without selling yours? A lease back for home owner may not be easy to find right now at an affordable and fair price.  

I know here in Texas, if your financially in a good place to purchase and have a lease contract on your home you may be able to buy that new home.  Otherwise, hang in there and make the move once your capable.

I do not think that deal will work. First, most mortgage lenders need two years in the same line of work. Second, you are telling a lender that you need cash. I would however try and sell your home to a buyer,and make the lease a separate deal away from closing. This way the "Qualified" buyer is responsible for payments and you still keep your residence. A serious investor may "jump" at this deal. The problem may be the down money.

That is a business model that is present in the Tampa Bay area.

Are you seeking the name of the company that acts as the 'lease back' owner?

In the transactions in which I was involved, they paid market price for the house and the citizen buyer/occupant was pleased with the outcome.

I do not know the magic occurring behind the curtain or the goal/strategy of the purchasing/leaseback company.
