What Type of Investing Strategy is This?

[Brandon McCadney]

Hey! I’m just very curious about this posting I saw this morning. Here’s what it says:

“THIS HOME IS CURRENTLY LOSTED FOR SALE. If you like this home, we will purchase it and rent it to you.”

Mind you, the home is listed by a professional realtor, but I’m just confused on what type of strategy this is, if anyone has done anything like this before, and if it is a profitable strategy? My mindset is always “someone knows something that I don’t.” So if anyone knows what type of strategy this is, I’d love to hear from you!

PS: I'm 2 months into REI so I'm still figuring things out!
