If you’ve fallen behind on paying your bills and are in considerable debt, you’ve likely considered several different relief options. Many people faced with overwhelming debt choose to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. While this type of bankruptcy lets you keep your home while paying back your debt, your credit will suffer as a result. Furthermore, if you’ve recently lost your job, the debt-to-income ratio requirements might disqualify you for bankruptcy relief.

If you’re a homeowner with significant debt, a better alternative to Chapter 13 bankruptcy is working with a home equity partnership like SKYDAN. Let’s take a closer look at what home equity partnerships are, their benefits, and how you can get started with a home equity partner.


What is a Residential Sale-Leaseback Transaction?

In a residential sale-leaseback transaction , SKYDAN purchases your home . and you enter into a lease agreement, allowing you to remain in the property . All rent is deferred for the duration of the agreement, meaning no monthly payments are due during that period. At the end of the agreement, you have the option to purchase or sell the property at its current market value and receive any additional equity.

Home equity partners do not operate the same as traditional lenders or banks. They are a group of real estate investors who want to help you get back on your feet by using the equity in your home to do so. This helps keep your financial record free of bankruptcy marks and won’t negatively affect your credit. 

How the Program Works

Homeowners who enter a residential sale-leaseback with SKYDAN can expect the following structure:

  • No additional debt 
  • No monthly payments for up to two years
  • No interest payments
  • Deferred rent for the length of the agreemen
  • Option to repurchase or sell at the end of the agreement period
