Unlock Your Home’s Equity in Chicago, IL with a Sale-Leaseback
Are you a homeowner in Chicago facing rising expenses, credit challenges, or trouble qualifying for a traditional loan? SKYDAN Equity Partners makes it possible to stay in your home while accessing the money you’ve built in equity. From the lively neighborhoods of Logan Square and Wicker Park to the close-knit communities of Mount Greenwood and Edison Park, Chicago homeowners take pride in their homes and the city they love. With SKYDAN™’s residential sale-leaseback program, homeowners can unlock their home’s equity without taking on new debt or relocating—allowing them to stay in the place that matters most. Through the program, homeowners receive cash—often within 30 days—and continue living in the home with no monthly payments, as rent is deferred until the end of the agreement. When the term concludes, homeowners may choose to repurchase the home or sell it and retain any additional equity.

A Better Way to Access Your Home’s Equity in Chicago with SKYDAN
Most homeowners think their only options are refinancing or selling, but SKYDAN offers a better way. With our sale-leaseback program, you can unlock your home’s equity without taking on new debt or moving out.
Instead of dealing with loan applications or listing your property, you’ll receive a fair cash offer based on your home’s market value, stay in place for up to two years, and decide later whether to buy back your home or sell it for additional profit.
This approach gives you financial freedom today and flexibility for the future, all while staying in the home you love.
Benefits of SKYDAN’s Sale-Leaseback Program
SKYDAN’s sale-leaseback program is designed to help Chicago homeowners overcome financial challenges, plan ahead, or make smarter use of their equity:
Use your equity to purchase your next home first, giving you time to move on your schedule without juggling multiple mortgages.
Access your equity with no credit checks, no interest, and no monthly payments — a faster, more flexible alternative to refinancing or HELOCs.
Behind on property taxes? SKYDAN™ helps homeowners resolve tax debt and stabilize their housing situation using their home equity.
If you’re facing bankruptcy or high debt, our program can settle balances and provide breathing room while you get back on your feet.
