If you're going to sell your house, you'll make the most money if you move out of it, refresh it, and sell it as a move in ready vacant house. Thing is, many sellers don't have this option as they need the money from the house they are selling before they can buy a new home. The creates an awesome opportunity for investor buyers as investor buyers can give these home sellers the option of renting their own home from the buyer until they close the purchase of their new home. This creates a win win for both the seller and the buyer. The buyer typically negotiates a discounted purchase price while the seller doesn't have to worry about carrying two mortgages or worry about where they will live until they move into their new home.
