Considering leasing your home?
For many people, the idea of letting someone live in your home for a definite period of time seems foreign. But others view it as an opportunity to knock a few grand off their mortgage, especially if circumstance has them relocating to another city for an extended period of time.
Most Lease terms are for a period of one year, but can also be for longer periods. As always, you should work with your Realtor® to arrange the necessary paperwork. Not only to ensure that your rights are well protected, but to ensure that once you accept an offer, the transaction closes in a timely manner. This allows you to look forward to your pending move knowing, that your single biggest asset is well protected and your mortgage $15K - $20K lighter.
