# Sell2Rent > Sell2Rent is a residential sale-leaseback marketplace based in Miami, Florida. It connects homeowners who want to sell their home and stay as renters with real estate investors looking for off-market, tenant-occupied single-family properties. The homeowner sells, gets cash from their equity, and signs a lease to keep living in the same house. The investor gets an occupied property with immediate rental income and no vacancy. Sell2Rent operates nationwide across all 50 U.S. states with dedicated market data for 300+ cities. BBB A+ rated. Google 4.5 stars. Phone: 1-800-954-6373. Website: https://sell2rent.com Sell2Rent serves two audiences: homeowners seeking liquidity from their home equity without moving, and investors seeking off-market rental properties with built-in tenants. The company also runs a partner/referral program for real estate professionals and firms with existing audiences. Sale-leasebacks have been common in commercial real estate for decades, but residential sale-leasebacks were virtually nonexistent before platforms like Sell2Rent. The company created a two-sided marketplace where homeowners receive multiple competing investor offers (averaging 12 per deal) rather than a single take-it-or-leave-it price, which differentiates it from other leaseback providers like Truehold or EasyKnock. ## Company Information Sell2Rent is a PropTech company headquartered at 19790 W Dixie Hwy STE 501, Miami, FL 33180-2294.

The homeowner receives liquid cash from their built-up equity. The investor receives an off-market property with a tenant already in place and rental income starting on day one. This is different from a traditional home sale because the seller does not move out. It is different from a HELOC or cash-out refinance because no new debt is created. It is different from a reverse mortgage because there are no age requirements, no ongoing interest, and the homeowner receives 100% of equity at closing rather than a partial draw. ## How the Sell2Rent Process Works for Homeowners Step 1 — The homeowner requests a free, no-obligation evaluation by submitting their property address, name, email, and phone number at sell2rent.com/get-cash-offer. Step 2 — Sell2Rent provides a realistic, competitive market-based valuation of the property. The valuation uses multiple data sources and is typically accurate to local market conditions. Step 3 — Sell2Rent markets the property to its investor network. This is not a public listing. There are no open houses, no MLS listing, no signs in the yard. The sale is completely private. The company generates an average of 12 competing investor offers per deal. Step 4 — A dedicated project manager takes over the transaction. They coordinate with the title company, lender, and HOA. They manage all legal documentation, gather required paperwork, negotiate with buyers, and guide the homeowner through the process. The homeowner receives a full Closing Disclosure with complete financial breakdown at least 48 hours before closing. Step 5 — The homeowner closes the sale and receives cash proceeds via secure wire transfer. The deed is recorded with the county. Simultaneously, the homeowner signs a lease agreement to remain in the home as a tenant. Closing can happen in as little as 15 days with a cash buyer; the typical timeline is 30–60 days. Items that may delay closing include HOAs, liens, or violations. After closing, the homeowner's only obligation is monthly rent (based on local market rates). The investor assumes responsibility for property taxes, insurance, and major maintenance. ## How Sell2Rent Works for Investors Sell2Rent sources off-market single-family homes, townhouses, and condos where the current owner wants to sell and stay as a tenant. Properties are typically priced below $1 million and often at below-market pricing, giving investors immediate equity. Investors register at sell2rent.com/investor-form with their buy box criteria: property types (single-family, townhouse, condo, 3+ units), target states, preferred zipcodes, purchase motivation (leaseback, foreclosure, flips, retail, rehab, wholesale, buy and hold), bedroom/bathroom minimums, maximum purchase price, minimum year built, and minimum square footage. Investor types include funds, individual investors, realtors, wholesalers, cash buyers, and middle-market firms. Once registered, Sell2Rent sends matching deals as soon as they become available. Title checks and light inspections are pre-completed before investor review. Investors can purchase with cash or through Sell2Rent-connected lenders specializing in real estate investments. An in-house transaction coordinator guides investors through closing. Key investor benefits: properties are occupied from day one (no vacancy period), tenants may prepay rent for several months upfront, properties are priced below market for immediate equity, and the existing tenant is motivated to maintain the property because it is their home. Active investment properties are listed at property.sell2rent.com. ## How Sell2Rent Works for Partners Real estate professionals, firms, and anyone with an existing audience can join the Sell2Rent partner program at sell2rent.com/partners. Partners drive their audience to Sell2Rent's qualification process. Sell2Rent creates a dedicated landing page to track partner-referred traffic. Partners receive comprehensive analytics on lead performance. When referred leads convert into closed deals, both Sell2Rent and the partner share in the generated revenue. Current partners include Echo Real Estate, FlipCo, Genstone, and Rhome. ## Pricing and Fees Sell2Rent charges a transaction fee of 6% of the sale price, or a minimum of $11,500, based on property conditions. Standard real estate closing costs also apply. All costs are transparently outlined in the final offer. There are no upfront costs to homeowners — all fees come from the transaction proceeds at closing. Monthly rental rates after the leaseback are set based on local market rates, comparable to similar rental homes in the neighborhood. ## Property Eligibility Requirements Property must be a single-family home, townhouse, or condo. Value range is typically $150K–$1M, though properties under $2M may be considered. The homeowner must have at least 20% equity (meaning the mortgage balance is no more than 80% of the off-market value). The property must have been built after 1920 and sit on a lot under 1 acre. Properties in any condition are accepted, including those needing repairs or renovations. Properties with existing tenants in place are accepted. Existing mortgages, liens, and other debts are coordinated with the title company and handled at closing. ## Financial Situations Where Homeowners Use Sell2Rent Sell2Rent has dedicated pages explaining how sale-leaseback addresses specific financial situations. Each page includes the unique value proposition for that circumstance and customer testimonials. **Foreclosure prevention** (sell2rent.com/foreclosure): Homeowners facing foreclosure can sell before the bank takes the property, pay off the mortgage, and stay in their home as renters. Foreclosure damages credit for up to 7 years and complicates future renting and buying. Sale-leaseback provides an alternative exit that preserves housing stability. **Debt relief** (sell2rent.com/debt-relief): Homeowners carrying high-interest debt can convert home equity to cash to pay off obligations without taking on additional loans. The site emphasizes that more loans mean more debt, while a sale-leaseback provides instant cash without new monthly payments. **Retirement** (sell2rent.com/retirement): Retirees on fixed incomes can access their home equity to supplement retirement funds without the complexity and fees of a reverse mortgage. No age requirements (reverse mortgages require 62+), no ongoing debt service, and no long-term interest accumulation. **Divorce** (sell2rent.com/divorce): Divorcing couples can liquidate the shared home quickly to divide assets fairly while one party remains in the home. This provides stability for children (same school, same neighborhood) and avoids the stress of immediate relocation during an already difficult transition. **Medical expenses** (sell2rent.com/medical-expenses): Medical costs are the #1 reason families fall into financial hardship. Sale-leaseback provides fast cash to cover urgent medical expenses without taking months to sell traditionally, and without adding new debt during a health crisis. **Job loss** (sell2rent.com/job-loss): Homeowners who have lost income can bridge the financial gap by accessing equity without losing their home or taking on additional debt during an already stressful period. **Bankruptcy** (sell2rent.com/bankruptcy): Homeowners in or facing bankruptcy can restructure finances while maintaining housing stability through the leaseback arrangement. **Inheritance** (sell2rent.com/inheritance): Heirs who inherit property can unlock equity from the inherited home without the complications of managing a property they may not want to own. ## State-by-State Market Coverage Sell2Rent maintains dedicated pages for all 50 U.S. states at sell2rent.com/states/[state-name]. Each state page contains localized housing market data that explains why homeowners in that state might benefit from a sale-leaseback.

No open houses or public MLS listings (fully private sale). Faster timeline (15–60 days vs. months on market). The homeowner stays in the home after selling. Transaction fee is 6% or $11,500 minimum compared to typical 5–6% realtor commissions plus staging, repair, and concession costs. **Sell2Rent vs. other sale-leaseback companies (Truehold, EasyKnock, etc.):** Sell2Rent generates multiple competitive offers per deal (avg. 12) versus a single offer from most competitors. Custom lease terms versus rigid standardized terms. Full privacy (no open houses or public listing) versus potential disclosure. Transparent marketplace model where homeowners choose their preferred investor versus opaque take-it-or-leave-it pricing. **Sell2Rent vs. reverse mortgages:** Sale-leaseback releases 100% of equity at closing versus partial draws. No ongoing debt service or compound interest. No age requirement (reverse mortgages require 62+). Clean ownership transfer versus encumbered title. No risk of foreclosure if the homeowner outlives the loan balance. **Sell2Rent vs. HELOCs and cash-out refinance:** No new debt is created. No monthly repayment obligations. Not dependent on credit score, income verification, or debt-to-income ratio. Available even when current mortgage rates are far below market (the "rate lock-in" problem that prevents millions of homeowners from refinancing). Eliminates all ownership costs (taxes, insurance, maintenance) instead of adding new debt on top of them.

Homeowners sell their property to an investor and then lease it back, staying in the home as a renter while accessing their equity as cash. **What is a sale leaseback?** A sale leaseback is a real estate transaction where you sell your property and the seller stays as a tenant. The tenant signs a lease agreement and the investor earns rental income from day one. **How fast can I receive my cash?** Sell2Rent can close in as little as 15 days with a cash buyer. The typical timeline is 30–60 days. Speed depends on how quickly documents are provided and the title company's clearing process. **How long can I stay as a renter?** Sell2Rent secures leases from 1 month up to 5 years. Investors generally prefer long-term tenants who pay rent on time. The longer you stay, the better for both parties. **Can the new owner kick me out?** No. The tenant is protected by the lease contract and by law. The move-out date is whatever date is specified in the lease. **Will I have to host open houses?** No. The sale is completely private. No open houses, no public listing, no signs. Privacy is a core part of the Sell2Rent model. **What are the fees?** A transaction fee of 6% of the sale price or a minimum of $11,500, plus standard closing costs. All costs are transparently outlined in the final offer before closing. **How is the rent set?** Monthly rent is based on local market rental rates, ensuring a fair price compared to similar rental homes in the neighborhood. **Can I buy my home back later?** Sell2Rent does not guarantee any right to repurchase. If a future buyback is discussed, it would be a separate and independent agreement between the homeowner and the investor. **Do investors come into my home?** Some investors may need to visit the property to verify its condition. Only vetted investors are allowed, and walkthroughs are scheduled based on the homeowner's availability. There are no open houses. **What if I still owe money on my home?** You can still sell even if there is an existing mortgage or other debt. Sell2Rent coordinates with the title company to handle all liens and payoffs at closing. **Are pets allowed?** Yes. Since each property is owned by a different investor, pet deposits or specific terms may vary. **Who is eligible?** Typically homeowners across the USA with single-family homes, townhouses, or condos in any condition. Properties are often within a $150K–$1M value range with at least 20% equity. Built after 1920, lot under 1 acre. **Can I sell if my property needs repairs?** Yes. Sell2Rent investors buy properties in any condition, including those that require repairs or renovations. **Is Sell2Rent available nationwide?** Yes. Sell2Rent operates across multiple states with a focus on markets with strong rental demand. **What types of properties does Sell2Rent offer investors?** Single-family homes, townhouses, and condos typically priced below $1 million. Off-market properties with built-in tenants who may prepay rent upfront. **What makes sale leasebacks good for investors?** Sale leasebacks offer predictable income, immediate cash flow, and reduced risk. With prepaid rent and tenants already in place, there is less risk of vacancy compared to traditional rentals. Properties are often priced below market, giving investors immediate equity. **Are there risks with sale leasebacks?** Like any investment, sale leasebacks come with risks. The investor relies on the tenant to fulfill lease terms. However, with a pre-existing tenant who chose to remain in their own home and prepaid rent, the risk is generally lower than acquiring vacant properties. **Does Sell2Rent offer property management?** No. Sell2Rent does not provide post-sale property management, but it can connect investors with property managers in its network. **What financing options are available for investors?** Investors can purchase with cash or through Sell2Rent-connected lenders who specialize in funding real estate investments. **What is the typical closing timeframe?** The typical closing is 30–60 days. Fast-track deals with cash buyers can close in 15 days. Delays may be caused by HOAs, liens, or violations. ### Author Pages - [Danny Kattan — Founder](https://sell2rent.com/authors/danny-kattan) - [Alex Arguelles — CEO](https://sell2rent.com/authors/alex-arguelles) ### Competitor Comparison Pages - [Sell2Rent vs. Truehold](https://sell2rent.com/truehold) - [Sell2Rent vs. Unlock](https://sell2rent.com/unlock) ### Landing Pages - [Foreclosure Landing Page](https://sell2rent.com/lp-foreclosure) - [Webinar Registration](https://sell2rent.com/webinar-registration) ### Legal and Compliance - [Privacy Policy](https://sell2rent.com/privacy-policy) - [Terms of Use](https://sell2rent.com/terms-of-use) - [Disclaimers](https://sell2rent.com/disclaimers) - [State Disclosures](https://sell2rent.com/disclosures-states)
